Top Comments of this video!! :3
Every time this video comes across my feed, I'm impressed at how overwhelmingly this man solved this game. Like, announcing that you will invariably steal while promising to split afterwards guarantees that out of self-preservation, your opponent needs to split in order to have any chance at all of walking away with anything. It's a checkmate, not to your opponent, but to the showrunners. Brilliance

This is actually genius.
I've never been in this situation but I imagine it's easier to convince someone you're going to pick steal than split.
Once convinced, it leaves the man with two options, in which he will win nothing no matter what he picks. His only hope at taking home any money is if he chooses split and the guy is loyal that he will split it after the show.
Additionally, it defends yourself from your opponent attempting to steal from you because he knows it won't work.

I remember listening to a podcast on this years ago. They had both contestants on. The talked about how they went through this for at least 45 minutes and the host, the other contestant, the audience, the producers, everybody had turned on him. That must have been so uncomfortable being under the lights with literally everyone turning on you! He talked about how he came up with the strategy beforehand. Seems like this was the 15th game show he had been on and he gave all of his winnings to charity. The other guy talked about how frustrated he got, how the story about his dad and his word or whatever was totally BS which makes sense lol. I’m not doing it justice at all haha but it was super cool to listen to!
