I knew the key pack was 100k when it came on screen.

I frequent that "this is why I'm broke" website.

I'd never say keep mine. It's pointless.

What is the benefit of saying keep just mine other than not feeling like a dick at the end?

If I say take it all, I either get it all or I get none because we both got greedy

It's a flawed game. Once people realize this the game will tank from all the greed.

Yep. This is from Wiki
quote:

The truly rational and intelligent contestant would realize that each decision (choosing take or share) would result in a 1-in-3 chance of leaving with some amount of prizes. In this game's case, taking would yield a higher prize sum than sharing in the event that the 33% success rate falls upon the taker. Because taking always rewards more than cooperation, all purely rational self-interested players would betray the other. Therefore, this logic resulting from both players selfish choices would only benefit the game show. The player that chooses to share would conversely, grant at least one of the two contestants a payday.

The best strategy is to basically tell your opponent you're selecting "take it all" no matter what and you'll share the prize with them if they select "split", otherwise you both go home with nothing. It basically forces the other person's decision.

Her mistake was "trying" to communicate with the lady before they chose. She basically gave away what she was doing and the other lady was a stone cold nut cutter that was there for hers.

Ms Magee should have kept her intentions to herself.

A new rule should be implemented. A third option after choices are made but before they are revealed

Offer one contestant a "third door" behind the door could be nothing, or a prize pack greater than the two previous combined.

If you choose the door the other contestant will automatically walk away with the other two packages while you get "the door"

Don't choose it and it reverts back to the previous rules

I like it the way it is. Simple and cutthroat.

The first time I saw the show the other night, both chose keep mine, so they got their prizes. However, my immediate reaction was to always take all. Either I get everything or we both get nothing. I was called greedy, but I think that's the way to play. You're either a big winner, or you leave what you came with and screw the other person

This is an example of the best strategy: LINK

It's game theory.
