During freshman year, a few of my friends took PSYCH 1101 and learned about a British game show called Golden Balls . I watched a few episodes with them and was instantly fascinated with the show. Golden Balls has two rounds where a pair of people work together to accumulate a pot of money. Then, they reach the final round called Split or Steal, which is a pseudo Prisoner’s Dilemma problem. Each player decides whether they want to split the money, or steal from the other. If they both split, they split the money and each get half. If they both steal, they walk away with nothing. If one splits and the other steals, the stealer keeps the whole sum. The expected payoffs can be summarized in the table below. Contestants' propensity to cooperate is surprisingly high for amounts that would normally be considered consequential but look tiny in their current context, what the authors label a "big peanuts" phenomenon.
Golden Balls has attracted attention from social scientists as a natural experiment on cooperation. [2] [3] [4] A team of economists including Richard Thaler have analysed the decisions of the final contestants and found, among other things, the following:Golden Balls is a British television game show which was broadcast at 5.00pm to 6.00pm on ITV between June 2007 and December 2009 and repeated until February 2010 and at 3.00pm to 4.00pm on Challenge (repeats) from January 2010. It is presented by Jasper Carrott and is filmed at the BBC Television Centre. After 25 February 2008, the show was sponsored by ITV Bingo (powered by Party Gaming). It is still shown on Challenge.

It's one shot to win the lot", said just before the contestant tries to cash out. This may be a vestige of the show's working title, The Money Shot, which was changed because of a smutty meaning.

Contestants are less likely to cooperate if their opponent has tried to vote them off the show in the first two rounds of the game, which is in line with the notion that people have an intrinsic preference for reciprocity. The "Split or Steal?" game element, essentially a variant of the prisoner's dilemma, has been used in other game shows, including: Worker hours. In a laissez-faire, unfettered capitalist system with no workplace laws, the prisoner’s dilemma presents itself in a “race to the bottom.” For instance, if Bobby works 9-5, he’s at risk of being replaced by Linda, who’s willing to work 8-6. Linda, in turn, could be fired to make room for Lena, who works 8-6 and weekends. It’s better for everyone if employees agree to certain acceptable work hours. It used to be that guilds or unofficial worker organizations would threaten or assault people who undermined their colleagues by working more. Today, most countries have some kind of workplace rights. For instance, in 2018, a baker in France was fined €3,000 for not taking a day off work.The front two balls on show. This is a decent hand: two large cash amounts and no Killers, which pretty much immunises the contestant from elimination. Another study focuses on whether it is possible to predict the behavior of contestants by carefully analyzing what they say. They find that contestants who make statements that carry an element of conditionality ("I will split if you split") or implicitness ("I want to split", "I came here to split") are less likely to cooperate than contestants who make more explicit promises ("I will split").

In case you are wondering what is the maximum winning in the slot, the answer is 250 000. The winning is not related to the currency, it remains the same, and it can be won only in the bonus round. The payout can be from about 87 percents, all the way to the 95%. The payout depends on the bet lines you choose.

Then there's a countdown, 3 – 2 – 1, and the ball's released. We see it roll along the bottom, and part-way up the other side. Eventually, the ball will stop on the bottom rail.

Each contestant is given a set of two balls, one each marked "Split" and "Steal," and must secretly choose one to indicate their intentions after looking inside to confirm which is which. The contestants may speak to each other and ask Carrott for advice before making their decision. This is such an interesting dilemma because it manifests in a variety of real-life situations. Game theory is an intriguing combination of probability and human psychology. In the UK, it was even made into a three-year-long game show called Golden Balls (pun was definitely intended). And one clever contestant beat the show. Real life prisoners Brook, Stephen (3 July 2007). "ITV strikes teatime gold". The Guardian. London . Retrieved 28 July 2017.
