"Episode 2.49" -
February 26
Last time, Dimitra Apostolopoulos
took a deal of $95,000 for her case, worth $400,000. Now Ishmael
"Tater" Brown is in the deal, as he is stuck with a banker's
board and four cases to pick.
With the choir in the stands, his
next four cases...
Now this is a turn-around,
because if you remember, the first round saw four big amounts go
away. The banker responds in kind...

He could do a lot with $103,000,
but he could do a lot more with $750,000. It's a dealer's board.
The family says to keep going... With three big dogs left, he
keeps going...
|
Last time,
$50. This time... $75 |
|
$1. Victory lap! |
And Howie joins in. The next
offer... "You've been very lucky to this point, but luck has to
turn at some point."

Think about what we have
planned... family... kids... KIDS... Will Tater take the deal
this time? The odds are in shamel's favor like no one's
business. No deal!
The banker calls with no
hesitation.

With two huge amounts still in
play, Is his chance at $750,000 worth $157,000? Last night, he
made a message... to himself: "Let's take a deep breath. Two big
dogs... Keep going. One big dog left, take the deal."
Ish listens to himself. No deal!
The choir has to sing on that
one. With a 50/50 shot at six figures, the bank offers... More
than a quarter million...

Theoretically, he can get away
with one more round, because a) there's a safety net, and b)
he'll be turning down $261,000 to win another $490,000,
possibly. The family wants another case, but they want even more
for him to run his own game. "It's a lot easier playing online."
NO DEAL!

After a choir break...
$750,000 |
Okay, time to consider this
offer...

That was a steep drop.
But in the end, he listens to
himself. DEAL for $92,000.
But was it the right decision?
Meghan M. had $10,000. Bank would've offered $182,000. In
Tater's case...
A good deal. He came in, rode the
wave, and got out just in time.
Next up... a man who matches
Howie, suit, head, and all... It's WAYNE RAMOS! "Wayno" is a
plumbing supply salesman and New York Yankees fan from Jersey.
He's got seven kids and two granddaughters.
Youngest granddaughter told him
to pick #2, so there you go.
And he wants Marisa to sit with
the family. Okay, six cases...

He's gotta manage this game...
and he's managed, via satellite, by Joe Torre, Yankees manager!
"You came here to make some money, so you might as well go for
it." He does.
By the way, Wayne also looks a

"That's not going to pay for six
girls." Joe tells him to deal with his wife. "Whatever you
decide to do, I want to invite you and your family to come to a
Yankees game as my guests this year." Sounds like a deal to
me... but as for the money on the table... No deal.
We'll open three cases next time.
