Press your luck

I have relatively little to add to this hilarious post from defective yeti about the stupidity of Deal or No Deal except to agree that the show is idiotic, relying on the mathematical ignorance of its contestants and audience. It really makes me crazy that people think "the banker" actually makes decisions about what to offer based on a personal assessment of the contestant, when it is clearly a selection of an amount from an error range around the mathematical expectation of what the contestant might win. Yeti's proposed game show might be more entertaining - I'm trying to brainstorm who would be a good host. Anna Kournikova? Martha Stewart (who would never do it, but who would be hilarious to watch if she did)?

I read the article on sites when I leave a brief review. If I have little to say of the page topic, I don't have to leave any critical reviews. And I prefer to read someone else’s reviews on that post likewise. Because I will find handy ideas through the smart comments. I might have posted “Great blog! Good posts!” then I will probably be spamming your blog. I also possess a blog website, the very first thing I'd do each day when i signed on my website is inspect remarks to my blogposts and by hand approve or reject these responses. Keywordluv as well as brings you more commenters. It enhances your position in search engines because you’re not simply on a myriad of “dofollow blog lists” but in addition on a quite a few those “keywordluv lists”. Thanks, Chloe
