How can Michael be a cheater????? Is a football coach a cheater for watching game film or scouting?

[Hoddersrevenge]

4 being one of two squares at the time (the other being 8) to never have the whammy. I wouldn't class Michael as a cheat, simply intelligent enough to notice the pattern.

he's the rain man of press your luck

@Hoddersrevenge It wasn't just those two squares that always had no whammies, for example, the top right and bottom left corners (6 and 15) never had Whammies either, but didn't guarantee an extra spin like the 4 and the 8, which allowed him to keep going on.

[moneybags1972]

ken jennings can't hold a candle to michael larson!

[ffrplaye]

@aczumel 4 months old but whatever.

Michael isn't a cheater, he just memorized the 5 patterns on the board, and CBS actually said that before Michael there were other wanna-be contestants that also memorized the original 5 patterns so anyone could've done what Michael did, and in all actuality I myself have memorized 2 of the 5 original board patterns. All it is is memorization and timing.

That just proves if you just pay attention you can win like this.
