Transcript
00:00From Television City in Hollywood, it's time to press your luck.
00:11I just came off a three-day trek from my hometown in Ohio.
00:16And I drive an ice cream truck.
00:19I love the show. I've probably seen it rips.
00:22I like the guy.
00:23Stories like those are why America loves Game Sharks.
00:25Game Sharks.
00:29Let's meet our three contestants vying for the big bucks.
00:31Big bucks.
00:34Now the big board is filled with money, but be careful of the whammies because they'll take you right back down to zero.
00:41Let's see those big bucks.
00:43Stop!
00:44$4,000 and a spin.
00:45I'm gonna keep going.
00:47Stop!
00:48$16,000.
00:49You're on a serious path, man.
00:52Mathematicians are giving me six to one odds.
00:54What's wrong with this guy?
00:55Keep going.
00:56He's gonna go.
00:58Stop!
00:59$24,000.
01:01Again!
01:02We have a problem. Somebody didn't vet this guy.
01:09He's not playing the game right.
01:11We gotta scare him.
01:12It'd be a real pity if he got held up here in L.A.
01:17It's a lot of money. Do you want to spend and risk losing it all?
01:21I said again.
01:23I tried to warn him.
01:27Let's find out who this guy is.
01:31Are you doing something wrong?
01:37I'm actually closing a big deal right now.
01:39That's gonna change everything.
01:43I don't know what to tell you. I had to figure out a rule for this.
01:46Do I know you from somewhere?
01:47Not America's Most Wanted, right?
01:49You think that he's working alone?
01:50I have no idea.
01:52All part of the game, right?
01:54You just made more than anyone in the history of game shows.
02:00Luck is just a good excuse to do nothing.
02:03And then hope that an opportunity comes a knocking.
