2:40 it

Pure genius! The best player ever, 🙌 praise to Michael Larson👏 🙌

Doctor Evil troll

Hometown and Weatherly PA are not located in the Poconos region.

Ed and Michael got the UFO whammy on their very first spin.

Michael took 46 spins on the big board. 45 in a row without a Whammy.

26:53 Whammy 34:12 Kauai 34:54 $700 +spin 37:02 Pick A Corner (non whammy square) 37:18 Sailboat *54:55 Bahamas (His Final & REQUIRED spin) These are the times when he accidentally landed on the squares that he was not intending to land on. All unintended squares were Whammy squares except for one of them *His final spin is the craziest!!! Not only did he HAVE to take it, but he landed on an unintended square that was a Whammy square! This particular square would’ve lost him everything. But it happened to blink off of a Whammy right before he hit it… And that was the game!

The Trick is to watch Square 2 light up and then what square lights up after it. He stops the board on 4 or 8 because they always have spins and never a whammy in that square. Once square 2 lights up, the next light will tell you what sequence that game board is on. It's pretty easy to get use to the patterns if you watch it enough. It just takes some time to do. The whole trick is really focusing on square 2 and remembering what happens next in that sequence. I got use to the patterns just to see how much he memorized. Michael stuck to hitting the button off of 4 of the 5 patterns. Once someone figured out there was a pattern, anyone could of done this, but the fact it was done in the 80s using a VCR pause/stop remote is nuts. On youtube it's easy to pause frame by frame and learn the patterns. Also, learning square 2 is the key would have taken some time. What he did was cool for his time. Too bad he wasn't a great person.

55:19 Who is the fucking idiot in the crowd acting like a complete spaz when Peter Tomarken announces Michael Larson's total?

Go dominator 2

It’s sad to think that a guy Tim Samaras who was loved in such a good show died in a back water road to the storms he loved to chase😢

If Michael Larson was alive today, would he be able to appear on the current version hosted by Elizabeth Banks? Hmmm.

Peter: “We’re going to have big bucks today. I can feel,it.” Truer words were never spoken,

1:46 bro i am dead 💀💀💀☠️💀☠️💀💀💀💀💀💀

Changing to steam wouldn't be practical.

I was just saying the other day how I miss the days, even if I was in diapers at the time, when characters like him were on game shows instead of carefully selected contestants chosen to appeal to a certain demographic. Also, even though he had figured out the game, he still had to execute under pressure.

Sean Casey better be listening to this in his new TIV car

35:03 LAST HOME PLAYER SPIN!

14:49 NEXT-TO-LAST HOME PLAYER SPIN!

52:15 Ed hits $5000 a 2nd time in a row (he just got plain lucky), but that kinda covers up a bit, the fact that Larson hit that square so many times. Peter even asks "What is going on".

34:08 "No I ain't never losing 'em" That could have blown his cover right there. But ironically he hits a trip on his next spin......

Ed Long didn't know what he had coming the next episode......

8:10 …Ed should’ve guessed the other letter in his name

1:00:12 should've listened to Peter, Michael.

Whatever happened to Ed?

I remember as a kid I could see the pattern when I watched Press Your Luck with My sister after school. I'm sure more people saw it but never got on the show and pulled it off.

How is being smart, cheating?!

He was a Total badass. I watched the press your luck documentary about Michael Larson. You might say he was 'counting cards' but he cracked the code and ran tables on them. Rest in peace, playa.

Ed calls for Big Bucks and he hits the square...... eerie foreshadowing and irony for the next episode.

Is he doing the Dr. Evil thing 😂? Thirteen years before Austin Powers??

This guy was definitely not a cheater. But if you look into the history of him, he was for sure a loser! The guy was unfortunately not the smartest person in the world in terms of keeping his money. Do a bit of research and you will see what happened to him over the next 15 years of his life.

Larson wasn’t a cheater. He just did something first that others would have eventually figured out.

Whoa! GSN didn’t crunch the credits?

“I came back wanting 20,000 and come back the next show” Imagine if the he stopped then. He would have over $130K if he kept up this streak on his second show”

Ed.

Parting gift is DIET PILLS lol

41:49 "And THIS crazy son of a b*tch... is Michael Larson." 😂

I'm not saying Michael clued Ed Long in on to what was going on but... 52:24 Ed knows there's zero chance he's going to go on enough of a streak to catch Michael. Janie would have passed there. I think ANY of us would. Ed genuinely liked Michael. He wanted well for him. He had his winnings. He didn't want to be the one who passed that spin and it be the one where Larson whammied and lost it all. 52:36 look at the huge smile he has on his face. He knows. He just did his part to help his new friend whos life had been downtrodden that far hopefully have a better life. 52:39 Larson realizes what he did. That's his "thank you." Then.... 56:05 - 56:10.. Enough said. I don't think they were in cahoots but I think BOTH of the other two figured out what was going on. Janie was pissed off and went for his throat. Ed liked the guy and knew it might make his a life a better place, already would be walking away with his own winnings from the previous episode, and did what he felt was right. You also could tell Larson was REALLY starting to slip and get burned in his last three spins. I wonder how different things would have ended if she passed to him when she had 5 spins or even six. It's just sad what happened to Larson AFTER the show.

So how much money did Michael win added with inflation as of 2024

48:43 I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!

Another youtube video with an interview from CBS execs at the time, said that Michael could've bankrupted CBS - because there was no upper limit to contestant winnings - nor could they find any cause to stop Michael as he was not cheating at all.

36:02 He has to watch the board to get himself back on track with the pattern. He gives an awkard chuckle at 36:12 while he waits for the right time to stop the board.

Can't unhear HE'S B*TCH BUT SOME PEOPLE CALL HIM BIG B*TCH

I miss this show

How many patterns did the board have on Second Chance? That show was a lot more low tech then PYL LOL
