About the only thing I can think of as being similiar luck to what this contestant had to go through would have been a contestant on "Press Your Luck" hitting the Whammy four times in a row, which actually happened more than once on that particular program. And by the way, Toby said that he had to win on the next choice after the fourth three. That wasn't necessarily true. After all, there were still four deuces in the deck.

Too bad it wasn't poker

@WarioBarker88 Back in the 70s with the Quiz Show scandals still not that far in the past, it was more difficult to change the rules to a show. Generally they could only be done at the beginning of a season.
-
i call that a bit of bad luck
-
Probably what gave birth to the idea of the push rule.
-
I TOTALLY AGREE. DA LOOK ON JIM PERRY'S FACE SAID IT ALL!!
-
In my Opinion the Eubanks' Version of Card Sharks have the better money Cards rules; change one card per line and a tie is a push; that's why I liked the Eubanks' Version of Card Sharks although the Jim Perry Version was fine as well.
-
Just out of curiosity, I noticed there's a model named Kristen. I wonder why Kristen is not mentioned as one of the card dealers on Wikipedia or anywhere? Was Kristen not as widely known as the others? And what is Kristen's last name, btw?
-
After further review---they DID wait until the start of the next season. During the first episode with the push rule Jim Perry mentioned that it was the beginning of football season, which coincides with the beginning of the new fall season of TV shows. So there.
-
It depends on how many cards have already been played. See my other post in this thread. It's 18,423 to 1 against it happening with three cards (including the first three) already played.
-
Well, they didn't just change the rules immediately--they had to review it for a while and then decide to do it--maybe wait until the start of a new season.
-
Gee, he starts with $200, and finishes with $200.
-
The look on Jim Perry's face, with the fourth 3, said the story!
-
And in that series @ the Money Cards getting a pair meant no win/no loss.
-
What's the Odds of getting four 3s in a row?
-
That was simply HORRID luck!
-
I'd have called this "The Terrible Treys."
(For those that are not aware, "trey" is the card term for "three," like "deuce" is for "two.")
-
P.S. has someone who actually worked on the show stated that this incident SPECIFICALLY was why the push rule was adopted?
-
Nickrj3 has this clip too.
-
Interesting...as other people just thought it was done to boost ratings (i.e. if they have a better chance at giving away more money, see also: the exact guess/run all cards bonuses in the front game)
-
4 threes, good in poker but not on Money Cards. Too bad the push rule wasn't in effect yet.
Talk about bad luck!

I don't think so, but there was one time in the Rafferty era when three aces came up in a row.
-
Has this happened during the Eubanks or the Rafferty era?

The only problem with this incident being the reason for the change is the fact that the "Doubles Push" rule was introduced on Episode #644 -- over FOUR MONTHS later.

They recently started running the Eubanks version of Card Sharks right before the Perry version on GSN in the morning. I've noticed the different rule on doubles between versions, and I've always thought the "doubles=loss" was a bum rule. This event just proves it beyond all doubt.
1:16 - 1:19 Someone was looking out for him on that wager.
