Twenty-six women control twenty-six briefcases, each of which contains as little as a penny, and as much as $1 million. How much faith does a player have in the contents of the cases? Only the banker knows for sure.

Episode 3.21: Wheeling and Dealing
December 12

Last time on What's the Deal Week, Mary Banford parlayed her love of Broadway into a Broadway package of $62,000. Efren Afonte continues with his game tonight as we prepare to roll out the Deal Wheel...

First, a recap. Efren is playing to see his parents in the Philippines... who are in the house tonight as a surprise. So far, he has opened 15 cases, not including his own, #15

?

15

Efren's Case

Round four begins with three cases.

12

$100

7

$500

3

$75

A spectacular round will give us a spectacular offer...

BANK OFFER
$179,000

 

$ 5 $ 25,000
$ 10 $ 200,000
$ 50 $ 750,000
$ 750 $ 1,000,000

Efren wants to get married and start a family. Efren wants to be a weatherman. Efren wants to see his parents. Well, the wedding's still a ways off. And no one can be Jason Elliott... but we do have your parents!

Back to the game, though. $179,000 is on the table. He can deal and still play for triple that. OR he can press on with a heck of a safety net. He'll... play on. NO DEAL!

4

$200,000

11

"All right, weather man."

$750

One big one, one small one. The offer...

BANK OFFER
$224,000

 

$ 5 $ 25,000
$ 10 $ 200,000
$ 50 $ 750,000
$ 750 $ 1,000,000

That's pretty good, but it still pales in comparison to the two big ones left on the board, and he can't knock them both out next round. NO DEAL.

21

$5

Right on. That's going to lift the bank offer skyward.

BANK OFFER
$281,000

 

$ 5 $ 25,000
$ 10 $ 200,000
$ 50 $ 750,000
$ 750 $ 1,000,000

Still a dealer's board. Still a heck of a safety net. NO DEAL!

6

$50

A good board gets even better, which makes the Banker nervous. Let's see what he offers...

BANK OFFER
$340,000

 

$ 5 $ 25,000
$ 10 $ 200,000
$ 50 $ 750,000
$ 750 $ 1,000,000

Could turn that into more than a million. So it's a question of whether he wants to take maybe a million... or maybe 3? The fiancee thinks that he could take it. The future sister-in-law says to take it. Efren decides... to ride it further. NO DEAL!

24

$25,000

Okay, now the banker's soiling himself. Here's his offer...

BANK OFFER
$493,000

 

$ 5 $ 25,000
$ 10 $ 200,000
$ 50 $ 750,000
$ 750 $ 1,000,000

There's a guarantee. There's also a 2-out-of-3 shot at more than the bank offer... which, all things considered, is pretty good. Sister says not to risk it. Will he play the safety net... or let it ride?

NO DEAL! Throw the dice, Efren!

26

$1,000,000

Boo-yah bag had the million, but it's okay, because $750,000 is still there, and with the Deal Wheel, a million is not out of the question. Let's see what the banker has...

BANK OFFER
$296,000

 

$ 5 $ 25,000
$ 10 $ 200,000
$ 50 $ 750,000
$ 750 $ 1,000,000

Okay, never mind. The family wants Efren to deal... He says that he can't get any better than where he is right now. No matter where he ends up, he made it. Efren's parents say "Take the money!"

DEAL for $296,000! But was it the right decision?

$10

15

Efren's Case

Yup.

Question now is, can he turn that into $888,000? He can with a lucky spin on the Deal Wheel. Here's what's going to happen. There are 30 spaces on the wheel...

- 10 spaces have 1/2, cutting your deal in half.
- 15 spaces have x2, doubling your deal.
- 5 spaces have x3, tripling your deal.

Give the wheel a spin, then run the pachinko ball up the stairs and drop it. Whatever the ball lands on is what happens to your deal.

Efren gives it a spin... and drops his ball... bounces around for a bit... and it land in 1/2, which means Efren's going home with $148,000.

New game begins with ANTHONY MOREIRA, a native New York Islander. He works a lot for a living down in Miami. He wants to give back to his family, and then go on a vacation maybe.

He's a big fan of "The Office"... our version, not the UK. Well, maybe the UK one, we never asked. And as I say at times like this, pay attention, this is relevant.

First up, Leyla gives up her case for the cause...

He's not alone on this stage. Helping Anthony out are his mother and uncle Sal. He wants to get his sister a sweet quince (15th birthday party for Latino girls). There's still a sweeter board... NO DEAL.

$ 400 $ 500,000
$ 500 $ 750,000
$ 750 $ 1,000,000

Draw board. Three cases. Three big amounts. Forget the accountants for a sec. Big momma says no deal. Nuff said. Everyone... including Anthony, says NO DEAL.

16

$300

2

$10,000

18

$50

That's a lot better. The banker begrudgingly offers...

BANK OFFER
$75,000

 

$ 0.01 $ 75,000
$ 5 $ 200,000
$ 500 $ 300,000
$ 750 $ 400,000

It can do a lot of things... and he's got a 50/50 shot... Actually, it's ... yeah, it's a 50/50 shot. NO DEAL!

10

After Anthony's girlfriend joins him up on stage...

Big fake out. BANOODLES!

17

$300,000

One big, one little. One offer coming.

BANK OFFER
$58,000

 

$ 0.01 $ 75,000
$ 5 $ 200,000
$ 500 $ 300,000
$ 750 $ 400,000

Still straight up the gut. The help says to continue taking the chance. NO DEAL.

9

$400,000... The record shows that Oscar called it.

New offer...

BANK OFFER
$31,000

 

$ 0.01 $ 75,000
$ 5 $ 200,000
$ 500 $ 300,000
$ 750 $ 400,000

A big hit. But at least the banker left you with a safety net to keep playing. NO DEAL!

3

$75,000

Bye bye safety net. But the banker has a gut feeling that the $200,000 is in the case, so he raises it to...

BANK OFFER
$40,000

 

$ 0.01 $ 75,000
$ 5 $ 200,000
$ 500 $ 300,000
$ 750 $ 400,000

There is a 25% chance that Anthony has $200,000. Oscar's been calling this all night. Brian... no idea. The family wants one more... Anthony wants out. DEAL for $40,000!

BUT was it a good decision?

Alike had $5. Bank offer would've been $65,000. Kelly had $500. The new bank offer would've been... $102,000. Oscar said the money was in #12... The banker says it's in #13.

In #13...

$750

13

Anthony's Case

Oscar did it again. He got every one tonight.

But can he predict what's going to happen at the Deal Wheel? Unfortunately, that's a negatory.

So what does happen at the wheel? DOUBLE, that's what. Anthony's got $80,000!

Great way to end the show. We're taking next week off, but we'll be back Christmas Day with who KNOWS what.
