LMAD - The trick to winning Strike A Match
For me, I have always said that I would want to play Strike A Match if I was ever on Let's Make A Deal. I can without fail find all the cash and prizes every single time because there's a reverse psychology strategy I follow.
- When the board is shown to you, memorize the configuration of the 8 Zonks. This includes looking for 3 that are in a V or an L pattern, 3 slanted in a row, things like that.
- As the board is turned back around, mentally flip the configurations you just saw from left to right over sideways from right to left so you can match them up to the numbers they'll be behind.
- Go row by row and pick all the other 16 spaces, skipping over the Zonk spots.
Too many people try to remember where each pair is. That's making the game too hard, and there's no rule that says you have to find both of the pair back-to-back. So as long as you memorize where the Zonks are and then don't pick them, you can find everything in no particular order and win it all.
