Whilst I love playing Golden Balls online I just wish it made it easier from me to win. It seems as though you get a bunch of really low wins/losses with an infrequent huge win every now and then. Each contestant now also has 5 balls with 3 of them being hidden (leaving only 2 on display like before). This makes your decision regarding who to eliminate all that more difficult. Round 3 - Bin or Win. During freshman year, a few of my friends took PSYCH 1101 and learned about a British game show called Golden Balls . I watched a few episodes with them and was instantly fascinated with the show. Golden Balls has two rounds where a pair of people work together to accumulate a pot of money. Then, they reach the final round called Split or Steal, which is a pseudo Prisoner’s Dilemma problem. Each player decides whether they want to split the money, or steal from the other. If they both split, they split the money and each get half. If they both steal, they walk away with nothing. If one splits and the other steals, the stealer keeps the whole sum. The expected payoffs can be summarized in the table below. The first show opened with 1.6million viewers. Viewership climbed to a steady 2 million viewers. In the same 17:00 timeslot, eight of the first eleven episodes beat Channel 4's Richard & Judy, and The Weakest Link on BBC Two also took a dent from the show's success. Series 2 went on to average 2.1million viewers in early 2008. As of summer 2009, the show's popularity fell; it attracted only around 1.2million viewers, which led to the show's termination on 18 December 2009. It is still regularly shown throughout the week on Challenge in the UK and Republic of Ireland although usually during off-peak times. It has also been repeated on ITV again but usually after midnight. [1] [5] KerPlunk is a children's game invented by Eddy Goldfarb with Rene Soriano and first marketed by the Ideal Toy Company in 1967. [1] The game consists of a transparent plastic tube, plastic rods called straws (normally 26 to 30 in total and of various colours—yellow and red predominantly) and several dozen marbles. The base contains four separate numbered trays; the straws are passed through holes in the middle of the tube to form a lattice. The marbles are then placed in the top of the tube and held in place by the lattice. [2] The onomatopoeic name of the game derives from the sound of the marbles tumbling to the base of the tube during play.Golden Balls has attracted attention from social scientists as a natural experiment on cooperation. [2] [3] [4] A team of economists including Richard Thaler have analysed the decisions of the final contestants and found, among other things, the following:

One contestant declaring "I've got the biggest balls on the table" - only for Jasper to tell him off, with "No innuendo on this show!". He was rude when he was voted out as well, telling surviving contestants "Up yours!" - complete with corresponding hand gesture. (Or shouldn't that be finger gesture?)

The rating - 76%.

This is where you try and build as big a potential win as possible. All of the balls that you did not eliminate from the first two rounds are on the table in front of you, and you have to choose 5 of them to contribute to the money pot.

Ideally you want to remove as many killer balls as possible, but at the same time you want to keep the big money balls in the game. In the screenshot above, you may not want to eliminate the contestant with the killer ball on show as they also posses one of the biggest money balls in the game. It’s up to you to choose your game plan. Round 2 - eliminate one of two other players. This section does not cite any sources.
