^ The idea of the game, I believe, is to select cases with 'low' monetary values, leaving the higher valued cases in play. If it's like the American version, he himself has a case with a hidden value and the idea is that he's hoping it's one of the higher values. However, as the higher-valued cases are selected (as they were in the clip), the chances of him winning any sizable amount of money become less and less.

There's very little skill involved in the game.

Did anyone watch this woman on The Price is Right?

I bet she didn't tell many of her friends and family to watch!

Now that's fantastic to loose in order of decreasing magnitude. At least he'll be remembered for something

I don't understand Deal or No Deal it confuses me.

I don't watch it, but I know the premise.

The contestant has a closed case which hides one of the prize amounts. The other prize amounts are hidden inside the other cases.

The object of the game is to select cases and, hopefully, eliminate all the lower-valued prize amounts which increases the odds that a higher prize amount is contained in the contestant's case.

In 'Deal or No Deal', the contestant is offered a 'Deal' which is an amount of cash based upon the prize amounts remaining in play. The contestant may accept the deal or he may turn down the deal and continue playing, hoping for a better deal.

In the clip above, the unlucky young man eliminated all the top prizes in descending order in his first few guesses. The odds of that happening must be phenomenal.

You've got a better of dying in a plane crash admittedly, but they are still reasonable odds.

Still, there's a 1 in 358,800 chance of eliminating the top 4 values in sequence, but when was the last time we saw it happen?
