Default Re: How the show works:

[ QUOTE ]
If the banker does not have any extra information, then you should keep playing as long as the banker's offer is less than the average of the remaining briefcases.

This is only correct when the contestent is incredibly wealthy (which is never the case)

Since utility isnt a linear function of money, it is possible (and often the case in the show) that a -EV $ play is +EV utility.
