I won $900 playing deal or no deal at a bar. Maybe it was just luck, but I did feel I could read the host who claimed not to know the outcome of any given deal. Watching him before my ticket was drawn to play, I notice he seemed to lead people to their decisions a bit. It also occurred to me a few times while playing that he was at least occasionally leading me into correct choices.
Anyhow, the last deal comes up and I make up my mind on if I will take the deal or not. Then I figure I'll let my friend choose. Her decision was opposite mine. It was the only wrong deal in the game.
Afterward a bunch of people in the bar bought us drinks. I split the winnings equally with my two friends. We agreed to do so when they bought me a raffle ticket to play because I don't gamble.
