Default Price Is Right Morons

This girl with this incredible body is 1st to spin the wheel and she stops at 55 cents. Are you kidding me. Way to ruin the showcase for me. Was anyone watching, I'd agree to marry this girl right now just for the sex.

Also utter insanity has insued afterwards, the 3rd spinner, who is gayer than this girl was gorgeous just won 11K.

Who the [censored] stops at 55 cents on the 1st spin?, play more poekr you dolt!

Oh Bobo's gone and done it now ... I could write a book about stupid TPIR crap.

Like these bidder's row classics:

1000, 1001, 1002, 1003 (I swear to God this happened).
900, 1200, 750, 1199 (WTF?!)
1200, 1400, 850, 2300 (WTF?!)
Any sequence in which "1" is bid before the final bidder.

There was a woman on the "10 guesses" game who was on the prize with a triple-digit price, so there's four numbers with which to make guesses from. I don't remember the exact numbers, lets say they were 8, 6, 5 and 0. She wound up making a bunch of guesses that ended in 8 or 6, and lost without even getting to guess the car price.

The Final bidder should ALWAYS bid either 1 dollar or 1 over someone else. Nearly half the time they don't and their stupidity annoys the crap out of me. However this one stung the most ever because it cost me the chance to look at the most perfect body I've ever seen (save Emmy Rossum) for just a few more minutes.

I would spin at .60 and stay at .65 ... it's a ballancing act between the odds of going over, and the odds one of the two spinners after me going higher than me.

LDO. And yet it almost never happens.

The one who bid 1199 last after a 1200 bid had been made ... that might be the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Dan, when spinning 1st I am 100% positive you should spin againt at 65 cents. There are 2 more people to go with 2 spins each so essentially 2 chances each to beat you. Each have a 30% chance on their 1st spin and then varying degrees on their 2nd. I have never done the math but I KNOW that you gotta go again at .65 .55 was just retarted. I've never seen someone stay with so little.

Not nearly as dumb as TPIR people, but try doing some EV calculations while watching Deal or No Deal sometime. Even when you account for risk aversion....
