[@wowitslena]

Holy crap, that last guy. You can really tell he's insanely smart judging by how calm and collected he is during the entire process. Such a genius way of doing it.

[@EvillNooB]

but to be honest tho, why would he risk by choosing split if he already promised to give the money back after stealing it?

[@Shiiiiiiison]

@@EvillNooB It just goes to show that he's a man of his word, even though that was a weird but genius way of going about things.

[@azzzertyy]

@@EvillNooB because that would look bad on camera and place too much trust on himself for too long, if he did it this way he ensures his opponent chooses split because theres no point choosing steal because you think hes going to go steal no matter what, by saying youre going to go steal and then choosing split, you simplify the process while backing your opponent into a corner

[@DrPonk]

@@EvillNooB Out of the kindness of his heart, basically, but also the whole gambit was just to remove the win condition for the other guy and force him into a split, as it would be the only viable option as a hopes of getting some of the money later on. By saying you're going to steal, you're telling the other person that they've already lost no matter what they choose. At that point it's just about manipulating them to pick the option more favorable for both of you, which is for them to split. You not only take away any possibility of the other person winning, but you can also then use that as leverage to ensure you both win, unless you're actually heartless and just keep it all anyway or the other person is incredibly spiteful and willing to take a guaranteed loss over maybe getting something later if you keep your word. Heads, I win, tails, you lose.

[@lennyternil336]

@@EvillNooB if you’re in that guys position, you cannot trust the other guy to not steal, and I’m pretty sure that Mr big brain DIDNT want the company that makes the show to keep their money

[@d00gz_]

Last guy took the show’s theme of trust and manipulation and turned it completely on its head. He essentially gave the opponent a trust fall where he said “You either put all of your trust in me, or we both lose” by saying he’d steal, and then in the end he chose to choose split, putting his absolute trust in his opponent that they’d put their absolute trust in him. Actually poetic.

[@zulubunsen9067]

He doesn't choose Split because he trusts the other guy. He does it so he can make sure that the money isn't lost. He says he'll choose Steal while discussing to convince the other guy that he's not there to play againt him but against the game itself -- to put his trust into him, not the game. He actually doesn't trust the other guy.

[@zulubunsen9067]

you should always steal. if you choose split its 50% chance you get half the money, 50% chance you get nothing. if you choose steal its 50% chance you get all of the money, 50% chance you get nothing.

The guy at the end really is a genius. Instead of putting trust in a stranger, he convinces the stranger that he can't win.

He eliminates the risk from the game, leaving the only chance for getting the money to be split.

I thought “oh wow so his endgame is to steal and remove the choice from the opponent” but he went a step further and split, knowing that would give him an even greater chance of getting at least half of the money after gaslighting his opponent. Literal 300 IQ play.

[@SohakmetGameplay]

@Sam Lowe Him being a nice guy is overall irrelevant to the ordeal. It's like what OP said, the whole point is to force a split pick from the other person. From there you can choose your own without a problem and if you really are aiming to split the money with the other person, picking either choice as the one setting this up is the same, as with steal you can just split after the show. Him picking split on camera probably was more to show that the strategy really works.

[@SahilFR]

good strategy but once the opponent clocks it, they can steal & win ezpz

[@lordsolaire6202]

[@niquel5831]

Yeah, the whole thing of trying to convince your opponent you're going to pick split is pointless. If you manage to convince them, they could thing they could get money by stealing, and if you don't, why would they pick steal? Just to spite you? Picking steal because the other person might do so too is useless here because you're not better off. If instead they got a quarter of the amount each, then it would be closer to the prisoner's dilemma and probably more interesting.

[@Fabianwew]

The saddest gameshow is trying to bet on the what weird shit pyro does next

[@runforitman]

"Look, you split and I'll steal, or I'll cave yer head in mate"

[@ValueNetwork]

My god, whilst i was watching i was thinking to myself "What if someone insisted on steal then decided to split after the show". lo and behold that was the strat that broke the show... however im disappointed that he backed down. in my opinion i would've gone through with it, done the steal, and given him the split after the show because of the precedent it sets, turning a game of deduction into a game of blind faith

[@BOW4THECAMERA]

he didn't 'back down' per se, his strategy was to back the other guy into a corner of 100% picking split

[@SeanTheShinigami]

What the comment above said. He was using reverse psychology on the dude, essentially.

I remember being shown the last clip in class one time. What an actual power play.

[@offbrandbiscuit]

I'm gonna be honest here, in the question of "Split or Steal?" I'd be more inclined to look at it contextually. Like if the prize pot is $12,000, that's nice, but in the grand scheme of game show prize pots, fairly low all things considered. Splitting would mean both parties leave with just $6,000, which is again, nice, but not that much money to win. The lower the prize pool, the more I'd be inclined to steal. Whereas with big pots like $40,000, $70,000, etc., I'd be more inclined to split since you're both still leaving with a bigger amount of money. That's like 20K, 35K for both parties in both examples, compared to something like 5 or 6K. Basically, lower prize pool = not that beneficial to both parties to split, just steal it. Higher prize pool = split, you're both getting something very substantial out of splitting even though the thought of stealing say, 50K, is tempting

[@promethium-145]

That analysis is pretty interesting. I actually thought of it the other way around; if the prize is $100,000 wouldn't they want it all to themselves? But I actually think your analysis makes more sense from a rational perspective, whereas my angle is assuming maximum greed.

13:35 when i saw the show I always wondered why no one did this

[@mattsterh7740]

4:50 i knew this succubus woman was lying the moment she said "We'll go for a drink after the show" there is no way in hell she would ever go drinking with him.

[@promethium-145]

I don't know if that's harsh to the man in that situation, or the woman. Also, wasn't that the guy Pyro said became an incel? If so, I don't think that would be the right term; more like the guy is just angry because he was lied to, which is understandable, I guess.

[@mattsterh7740]

@@promethium-145 im just stating reality. that woman looks like a succubus and the man is an old man. seriously if you saw them in public, you would think thats her dad or shes gold digging. also pyro said a young blonde guy turned into an incel. hes from a different clip.

[@promethium-145]

@@mattsterh7740 Oh, I wasn't sure which clips you were referring to, cuz I was too lazy to look at the time stamps. That's my bad lmao. And yeah, I think it's interesting how one of the participants seemed sadistically happy about stealing against the other guy. Some people are, as you put it, succubuses. I've had some experience with those types of people, and it scarred me for many months.
