RACE TO A BILLION - REBIRTH - ROUND 28 [SIGNUPS WELCOME]

I'll open the square as well. Makes things interesting.

---

You love to see it. Suspense time.

Right, let's open Square 99...



Both of you, with as much as $25m on the table...where are you going?

---

I pick number 2.

---

I pick square 3

---

A difference of opinion, then. But what have you won? K-Step...what's behind 3...



Ouch. Don't spend it all at once.

randomness, what is behind 2...



Your $11 million comes back to you!



So, if we have this right, randomness leapfrogs K-Step to $19,450,000, meanwhile K-Step effectively remains on $9,620,001. However, K-Step DOES get a bonus square to help him next round. I'll be airdropping it to him right away, and then we'll get on with K-Step's Split Decision!


Welcome, K-Step, to SPLIT DECISION!

The aim of this game is to get the maximum amount of money out of a series of increasing Split Decisions. The game involves these twelve squares:





Ten cash values, 2 Bombs. The game is made of 6 rounds. In each round, you pick two squares. We show you the first square, and ask whether you'd like to bank the cash, or reject it for the second square's contents. Regardless of what you choose, both squares are eliminated, and we continue until all 12 squares are gone. Play the perfect game, and you win $20,000,000! With your boost, that's $26,000,000!

Now, that's all very good until we reach the Bombs. If you bank a Bomb, your bank is instantly wiped to zero. However, you CAN continue the game if you still have squares to pick. HOWEVER, if you reveal a bomb in your first square, both squares are instantly eliminated. You can't switch out a bomb, you see. That'd be too easy.

You get an opportunity to leave the game with the cash you've currently earned after the 2nd and 4th rounds.

So, let's reveal the grid!





Right, without further ado, let's have two numbers.

---

Alright. Picking corner numbers 1 and 12

---

Oh damn! You got the big one in the first pick! Nice!

I think I know where this is going... but $8,000,000. Take it or Leave it?

---

Obviously take it. That's big money right there.

---

Of course we're banking the big one!



That's a nice one to remove!




BANK: $8,000,000
MAXIMUM: $20,000,000

You're still in with a chance of winning the 20 million, but remember...ONE bomb will remove that from you! You've done the hard part of retrieving the $8m, the difficulty is in keeping it. One more round until your next big decision.

---

Okay. How about squares 4 and 10?

---

Let's look in 4...



Oh no! And just like that...you're back to zero, and as it was the first one, you don't get a choice in this one. You took out a big one on your way, too.




BANK: $0
MAXIMUM: $9,500,000

That was a very, VERY destructive pick. And now for an obvious question of the complete opposite variety...Do you wish to escape with your nothing, or risk it on two more Split Decisions?

---

Shit. Might as well risk two more.

Oh right. Number 8 and 6.

---

The lowest square in the game. Yikes. In many ways, you might want the other one to be a bomb.

$100,000. Take it or Leave it?

---

...Leave it. I want to see what's in the other square.

---

Good idea.



It's good money, but your maximum has indeed gone down by just a little.




BANK: $750,000
MAXIMUM: $9,250,000

There's still a bomb lurking in the game that we really want to see the back of. If you can bin it and win yourself the $5m, we could still get some big cash out of here. One more before your second big decision...

---

Jesus this a little bit stressful. Let's go for 9 and 2.

---

That's one of the ones you need...but there could be more in 2.

$1,500,000. Take it or Leave it?

---

Knowing my luck so far, I should take it. This may bite me in the ass, who knows.

---

Is this a mistake?



It's a drop, but I think you'd be happy with that.




BANK: $1,250,000
MAXIMUM: $7,250,000

Right, the $5,000,000 is still out there...but so is a bomb. There's also 500k and a million. There's still a chance to win decent money, but it comes with risk. So...with $1,250,000...are you going to continue?

---

Ah screw it. Let's continue. Reveal square 5 and 11.
