    so if memorising is cheating then we all cheat in school right??
  • @jeremyjudkins
    Michael was legit. Studying a pattern isn't cheating. If they wanted to avoid this, they truly should have made it more random and not predictable.
  • Both Terry Knees and Michael Larson; They didn't cheat, they studied. How can anyone say that doing your homework beforehand is 'cheating'? It's like some kid taking a test in school, and getting a top grade, then being accused of cheating, simply because he knew the material, and studied beforehand.
  • @jtrevor99
    Neither Larson nor Neiss were cheaters. Taking advantage of a pattern (or flaw in the gameshow itself) is not cheating.
  • @yos5499
    Larson was 100% legit - he used his mind
  • Larson was not a cheater. If anything, he was brilliant. Having the ability to remember every single pattern precisely, it’s amazing. Props to him, honestly.
  • @kenbob1071
    The coughing scam has to be the stupidest way to cheat. I'm surprised it wasn't immediately obvious.
  • @crypton9833
    Memorizing spins isn’t considered “cheating,” it’s using the ability to focus on patterns and process the next pattern.
  • @Starswake
    Larson didn't cheat, the game people were the cheaters. They cheated him by wasting his time and winnings fighting the payout.
  • @cemsarioglu5947
    Larson did not cheat. It is the game designer’s fault that he/she designed a flawed, memorizable pattern. That is not cheating.
  • @freeman7079
    Terry and Larson didn’t cheat. They did exactly what a good, intelligent game show contestant should do.
  • @teresaames972
    It's not cheating to memorize a pattern. It's playing the game smarter than anyone else.
  • @davem1212
    Larson died awhile back but he didn’t cheat. He exposed the game for only having 5 patterns. Today’s game has 175 plus patterns. Larson was a genius for this.
  • How the hell could memorizing the patterns of the box deprive you of your winning money? That's not illegal, nor is it a scheme. It's a tactic used to win, and it shouldn't count as cheating, since it's not against the rules.
  • @michaelfink64
    I agree that Michael Larson and Terry Knees didn't actually cheat. They exploited deficiencies in the games that anyone could have found if they were as diligent in analysing the games.
  • @roachtoasties
    Michael Larson didn't cheat. He just studied the electro-mechanical board frame by frame through all his VHS taping of the show. He had the tenacity, and did all his homework before applying as a contestant. Anyone applying to be a contestant on a game show should know the show. He just knew the show better than anyone, including the show's producers. There was a TV special about him, I think on Game Show Network.
  • @HVACSoldier
    If you can memorize the pattern of “Press Your Luck,” it is NOT cheating.
  • @kevintate768
    Thumbs up to everyone that supported Larson when it comes to the press your luck incident. He did not cheat and should never be classified as a cheater. He figured out the pattern and nailed it. Terry also memorized the prices and did nothing wrong as well.
  • @Shay-cw5dr
    They had no business bleeding Michael Larson dry. They were angry he got the better of them, did that so he couldn't enjoy the money. Should've been made to pay his attorneys fees.
  • @Sky2015100
    2:17 to be fair it’s smart of him to figure out patterns for the show. I think it’s fair game, in my opinion that’s not cheating, that’s strategy.
