I just have to laugh


I just love the moronic contestants who don't take really good deals and then feel like morons when they lose that big amount and cut their offers down to nearly nothing. Like this idiot who's husband was in Afghanistan. She gets offered $121K, her husband tells her to take the deal and she doesn't. Then she goes the next round, he tells her to choose case 12. She ignores him AGAIN, listens to her stupid best friend chooses 11 and knocks out the last high number she has. Then her offer goes down to only $28K. What I think about with that is, you now have a high amount, more than you had before. Yeah, you might feel kind of bad if your case had the $500K in it, but you'll feel a whole hell of a lot worse if you kill a huge offer by knocking out a large amount. I know this woman felt really fricking stupid and you know her husband, despite saying it's fine, was pissed. Because he told her to take the deal, then he told her to pick case 12, she ignored him twice and lost them $100K (~$50K after taxes). They could have had ~$60K but because of her stupidity, they ended up with only ~$14K. *shakes head* Morons

That's the thing. Once you hit a high deal amount, it might be better to take the guarantee and not risk losing more money by opening big cases. It is the moral to the Dog and the Bone in Aseop's Fables: If you grab for more, you may lose what you already have.
