Derren Brown - The System Part 4

[Luchtverfrissser]

Lol I indeed thought I saw her on one of the pictures win^^

[crazyhead0116]

I knew how he did it right away... Cuz I totally saw this in an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

[hpxro7]

At 7:31 I thought he was running away with the cash =P.

[podo110976]

For all you idiots that think its real, He puts the bet on at the TAB and collects it from a bookie. If you bet with the tab you collect from the tab and if you bet with the bookie you must collect and can only collect from that exact bookie. That about his only fault in this scam.

[HecklerBoy7]

I woulda gave a million pounds. That's Darren Brown we're talking about.

[MajesticTOASTER]

Derren Brown just fucked my mind.

In a good way. :)

[Sahrinzs]

we could see him being tired of it , kinda hard to mask that after 9 hrs though.

[RockySeven7]

everybody should see this

[DiscoveringReason]

It'd be funny if when he said he's gonna place the bet for her he just runs off with the cash

[ukijhu97]

8000 wow

[rockboxms]

it is so strange that part 4 have more views than part 3? did ppl just skipped part 3?

[DiscoveringReason]

@rockboxms They probably heard the answer begins to be explained in part 4

[ridewave444]

Yeah, taker118 that entered my mind too! lol

[FluffyKittenMittens]

for those who want know, his system doesent really work with the coin. when he says the impossible becomes ineveitable, that doesnt mean for a fact that he will get ten heads. there is no percent chance if he will get ten heads in a row.

[alexkfridges]

lol i was right.

[jorritschulte]

i was about to call bullshit on this one, luckily derren didn't dissapoint as with the lottery prediction.

[altazor1789]

why she?!?!

[brapp3470]

*toward the end "Oh... My... God... Genius...

[misterblackdark]

Just as they show the room with the pictures, you immediately get a glimpse of how it's done.

[Antienetta]

I figured out the system once I saw the part with the pictures and the mathematicians.

[kaisersoce07]

her father looks like he could be her BROTHER!! wow.

[MeloDeath31]

this is fucking brilliant!

[medbahi]

@MeloDeath31 really agree

[axxrulez]

omg i thought that is how he does it, but i thought it could never be true because she will probably loose all her money ;O:o

[lenny121]

knew it had something to do with all the pictures and alot of people ;d

[flufbus]

This reminded me of evolution. I dwan't too sure if he would do it this way, because of all the poeple who lost.

[flufbus]

I knew it!!!! This was the only way I thought he could do it, and I was right!!!

[stepover12]

damn it, the whole point is "the law of large number"

[Lamzilla]

at 7:26, I said "You have just witnessed a mugging."

[LeviathanRisingUp]

man, that is SO a quote from Stuat and Barry. :D

[Bekll]

I knew it. This is exactly what I said from the very start about the coin toss and the "perfect" system and how it works for that woman to win every time.

Anyone who only got it upon watching this video is very gullible to believe there's a perfect system or that what works for you works for everyone (hmm... kind of sounds like what a religious person feels like).

[mettal7]

ur saying were stupid and ur smart?

if u read between the lines its exactly what hes saying

[stepover12]

Bekll, your last statement is very arrogant and conceited mate.

[Bekll]

The truth hurts. People can be and are very gullible to believe there's a perfect system that is for humans - that in and of itself is arrogant and conceited. People need to learn, as I stated, that not everything that works for one person will work for all.

[stepover12]

Bekll, I misunderstood what you said in the 1st post. But in any case you came off as arrogant, and that's that.

Also you are generalizing too much into the whole "perfect system that is for humans". Just look at it as it is: if you flip a coin for a large number of times, you will get 10 heads in a row; if you have a large enough pool of people, you will have someone who wins the bets 5 times in a row. Simple as that.

[stepover12]

Your analogy to religion is rubbish. A person with a system that helps him/her win bets does not want to share it, or impose that system on anyone else. The opposite is the case for religion i.e. religious people wants to share, impose their view on others. See the difference? Case closed.

Last word: just see things as what they are, don't generalize too much. That is all.

[Bekll]

"A person with a system that helps him/her win bets does not want to share it,"

In the case of religion, which I happened to mention because of the similarity, people who are religious (particularly in the U.S.) *do* impose it on others.

The similarity was not about imposing, but believing there is a perfect system out there. You misunderstood the context and then call me out for generalizing. Read more carefully next time.

[stepover12]

you said: "Anyone who only got it upon watching this video is very gullible to believe there's a perfect system or that what works for you works for everyone (hmm... kind of sounds like what a religious person feels like)."

Aha! here you make it sounds like they are one and the same: "believe there's a perfect system" and "that what works for you works for everyone"(imposing). Write more carefully next time ;)

[Bekll]

Believing what works for one will work for everyone doesn't necessarily mean the person will impose what it is that is believed to work for all. However, as I said, a religious person is likely to do this - in terms of the religious belief which can pertain to the idea that there is a perfect system out there for everyone. Thus, the similarity.

[bbbbbb222222]

wtf? she is "break"?, look at that house, she is riding a nice car also. Well, but this is obviously in england and i live in Argentina.

[crapatitus]

Che boludo!

[exanto]

hehe kupa wyjebanych

[0rubiks0ownage0]

annoying bitch.......

[blogologist]

What if someone chickened out in the middle? Just think, Derren pissed off thousands of people to make this show! lol Notice he got all their polaroids to make sure no fat, ugly people got on the show. DISCRIMINATION!!!

[Melodican]

after round 2 did they give out like 1,000 video cameras for the vid diary !?

[l3inaryl3urnout]

9:36 woman says "WE'VE got the next bet through" i thought they didnt know there were other people involved????

[kewballl]

it's the royal we

[jack2452]

OMFG that what i think. i saw it on 20/20

[taker118]

when he had that medecine, i thought he meant he'd drugged all the horses

lol

[georgebarrett]

lol same.

[malsahth]

same LOL

[cursevirus]

me to lol

[minyminmin]

same rofl. i also thought that he might've drugged himself into becoming extremely clever lol.

[sidstille]

this is done with stock brokers

but instead of 7,000

they might do it with 100,000 people..

and they narrow it down to about 10 people through telling people stocks will go up/down

then those people will pay big money to hear predictions

[mpontmercy]

Wow, this was surprisingly predictable by Derren. This con has been done for a looooong time everywhere. They do it all the time in the states with American Football.

[nevinrobinson]

What are the chances he's done a double bluff, pretending to have done this for nine hours, but really just slipping a double-heads coin out from his (gaping) sleeve?

[TheMathGuy]

I suppose only the videographers would know for sure, but I could see him actually doing it just to prove his point. There've been times I've spent more than 9 hours on something I was really obsessed with.

[nevinrobinson]

Yeah. Plus it looks like he's trying to get it to land heads: it doesn't rotate much in the air.

[QuintessenzM]

ahhhhhhhh I knew it, that was the only opinion which came to my mind, omg great xD

[gidzmasterflash]

Thanks for posting, trying to expain to my friend who's a poker pro about "the system" & about the chance of winning conceutive "coin flips" on a poker table.

What a great programme!I wish i knew how he picked the correct horse in the last race though? Cheers for posting

[seshboy89]

he put 4 grand on and only got 13 back thats just over 4/9 it was just the favorite for the race i reckon
