Is Deal or No Deal Gambling? Or Just a Game of Luck

Once in a blue moon a TV series gets aired our screen that blows all of the others away and the same can be said for Deal or No Deal. The show changed the format of every other show, because it was not a quiz that involved answering questions. The aim of the game is to open boxes until you whittle them down to the last two. Through the show the banker will call and try and convince you to give up your box for money, a lot of people end up giving in and decide to deal, but when the game finished it emerges that they of in fact won a much bigger sum.

Do not get me wrong a lot of people choose to deal at exactly the correct time and end up leaving the banker astounded. But this leads me to the question, is the game show all about luck or is it gambling skills that make you win big?

Well the answer in my opinion is both, Deal or No Deal is more like playing roulette than rakeback, the reason for saying this is because roulette is a probability game exactly like Deal or No Deal. The chance comes in when you are selecting the boxes, if you choose the wrong boxes then you are going to end up getting low offers, but the thing about it is that if you have brought a high figure box to the table, then whatever happens you are going to end up getting an enourmous offer at the final moments.

The moment that the gambling skill kicks in is when you have to start turning down big sums to win even bigger, clever gamblers should be able to judge probabilities and be able to deal or no deal at exactly the correct time.
