Multi-Million Dollar Madness 2
June 11
The madness continues as a scoutmaster
takes on the banker for a million dollars. Will his chances increase
with a trip inside the pod?
First up, let's meet our player, ADAM HANSEN. He's dang excited to be
here. Adam's from Texas where he was once a Boy Scout. Today, he's a
scoutmaster. He's married over 2 years, but alas, no little scouts on
the way yet. He lives by the scout motto... "Be prepared."
NOTHING can prepare him for what happens next, though. He is escorted
into the Chamber and we begin... the Madness!! HA HA!
And inside Adam's ball...
12! That means that this game is played
with 12 Million Dollar Cases. Is one of them case #14?
The bad news, it's the last we see of
Pilar tonight. The good news... 6-in-13 chance of a million bucks.
As usual, we start with six.
26 - $300
1- $1,000
17- His dad said... "Don't screw this up." $200
12 - $1,000,000... 11 left.
15 - $1
19 - $25
Aside from Jill's case, a good round.
Let's see what the banker says...

A great first offer, the most offered
this early in the game, but with that much of a pad, there's no reason
not to play on. NO DEAL.
Before the next round, Howie wraps the case in police tape to protect it
from the ever-excitable Adam.
23 - "Sorry." $1 million... 10 left.
7 - $500
5 - $1 million... Nine left...
16 - "It's not my fault." $1 million
25 - $1,000,000... Seven left.
The banker loves him after that.

Helping him today are Chip (best friend),
Greg (older brother), and Megan (wife). They all say NO DEAL... That's
what Adam goes with.
Now for a special oath from the Banker...
On my honor,
I will do my best,
To serve you, the Banker,
Above all the rest.
I won't take your money,
Handsome Banker, I adore,
Because I'm a worthless contestant,
A festering sore.
That's worth a one-fingered salute.
So let's get back to the cases and... wait, the ladies are gone. But
with a quick shout from Adam... "MODELS ADVANCE!" They're back in the
appropriate attire... for being a model... and a Boy Scout.
(C-Note: If I must say... dayum...)
21 - $75
18 - $50
10 - $1 million... six left.
8 - Make that five...
Two more millions off the board, but it's
still a dealer's board. The next offer...

Little worse than half a chance at a
million, and again, still a dealer's board. He says... NO DEAL!
3- Shall we dance? $100
2 - $1,000,000.... Four left.
22 - BANOODLES!
With that last pick, the offer goes the
right way.

It's a 50/50 board. Gotta play it. Adam
does. NO DEAL!
Another call before Adam chooses his next case... The banker has
challenged Adam to prove his loyalty to the Scouts by donning the proud
uniform of the Boy Scout, as a drone sends his uniform out. "That thing
is ridiculous-looking." Okay, so MAYBE it isn't his...
... But it doesn't stop him from wearing it.
13- The countdown begins.... Three MDCs left.
11- .... two...
That round didn't do him any favors. The offer now...

Will Adam take the money and run or risk
hitting the million and leaving with less than a bus ride home?
The former. DEAL for $263,000! That's a
great offer, but was it a great deal?
Kelly had $5. New offer: $512,000. In his case, either $10 or the last
MDC...
More Madness next time. |
