If you liked this one, you should also watch the episode about how the lottery got cracked... You'll love it... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9WchK5j3NHMgZs.html

He didn’t actually “cheat” per say. He just cracked a code. Not his fault he figured it out.

Hacking? All he did was notice a pattern and used that to his advantage

He Literally ended the whole show's career😂😂😂

*studying for a test* “that’s cheating”

*Everyone: Wish me luck* _Michael: What is luck?_

Micheal: *memorizes game pattern* CBS: wait, that’s illegal

That’s not cheating, he played the game And cracked the code.

When a casino uses an advantage it's called the system...when an individual does it ...it's called cheating?....Never understood that one

-He hacked with a computer- -He hacked with a phone- He hacked with a paper.

Press your luck: shows pattern Micheal: I’m about to end this mans whole career

Telling Michael that cracking the code was cheating was like telling a student that studying for a test was cheating .

He didn’t hack, he just outsmarted the game show

i wish i could study as hard as michael studies test your luck

imagine him almost becoming a millionaire and then got a whammy

I think his house getting robbed and the robber never being caught sounds way too convenient.

Honestly with all the work this guy did he kind of earned the win.

Michael: memorizes impossible patterns Me: can’t even memorize multiplication facts

7:04 Poor Ed only had 2 Pins and did not even have a single spin...

This is awesome. I applaud this man for taking the time to figure out how the game works, and taking advantage of it.

Imagine memorizing a pattern all night just to get robbed at the end

Man, for such a smart guy he sure made a lot of poor decisions.

Who eles likes when micheal waves his arms..

He wasn’t hacking He was being SMART

3:08 They post a picture of Bob Barker next to Bob Edwards name. Any ol' Bob will do.

I remember seeing the documentary for this in the early 2000's. I'll never forget how bored the other contestants looked lol!

Every game show has a pattern you can regularly follow there’s nothing you can’t really calculate. With enough data we can predict chaos that’s the beauty of life sometimes

Casinos can literally cheat you when you win too much money and its allowed . However , if Michael literally used logic and math , its called cheating . What kind of biased world do we live in ?

*Actually, I wouldn't call that hacking... I would call that studying* _which means, i can also use this trick for my exams_

So, this is an opposite of the man who cheated "Who wants to be a Millionaire" game show

Judge: you’re still looking at 20 years 6ix9ine: lemme tell you about Michael

3:10 Umm, I think you got the wrong picture for that 'Bob Edwards' person, because that's definitely a picture of Bob Barker from The Price is Right.

I can feel nothing but respect for this man.

When you just hit the slot machine twice and you got a jackpot Me: _S T O N K S_

My dude was just smart enough to figure out the pattern he deserved the win

In a nutshell: This guy found the Achilles' Heel of Press Your Luck. Easily the most BATSHIT insane moment in 1980s game show history.

He used knowledge. That isn’t cheating.

These new animations are making me uncomfortable

“The host was begging him to stop” no the host was encouraging it lol

I have mad respect for this dude

I’m so glad you made this video. I have been wanting to see what he did for so long.

this guy won alot and lost everything.

7:05 Did anyone else notice that he spelt “spins” without an s at the front lol

Reprogrammed with 32 patterns People with photographic memory: Watch as how I end this shows whole career

TV: YO we got new game show MICHAEL: It's big brain time.

imagine if he memorized all the patterns and the show gets cancelled lol

The ending was such a plot twist LOL!

Went on a discount airline, crashed and lost his memory THE END

I could see Tom cruz playing Michael in a cinematic movie

Shoutout to this man for conning the con man hahahah 😂😂😂😂😂 they deserved it

He wasn't hacking. He's just smart.

It's a shame he wasn't at home when he got robbed, otherwise he would be there to shout "STOOP!"

I went from cheering him on, to feeling bad for him, to feeling he should be behind bars, then back to recognizing him as a legend in his own way.

One of the most underrated game shows ever.

Michael:* wins game show* Press your luck: wait that's illegal

CBS:we have thousands of dollars to use for this game show Michael: I'm about to ruin this mans career

Well played to you sir. Fully deserved. Being clever isn't cheating.

When your too lazy to work but can study a game shows patterns

7:07 Ed has 2 pins. Nice going, Ed.

Press your luck: exists Larry: I’m about to end this mans whole career

I remember when Game Show Network did a documentary on this then showed the episode in its entirety

plot twist: *Michael is a Russian hacker*

He just figured out the puzzle and used it to earn his way up.

Ed got so unlucky that he didn't even get the S in spins

It’s been one minute and someone disliked, they haven’t even watch the vid yet 😂

7:05 Ed: 2 Pins Jamie: 4 Spins 😒 I hope we liked his line 😂

There is a documentary about this also on youtube . In the documentary people try to repeat what he did and couldn't do it despite knowing how everything worked , this man was the first pro gamer .

3:09 Uh...The pic in the bottom left isn't Bob Edwards, that's Bob Barker...

Infographics: press your luck Every British person: you mean tipping point

Oh wow, a wonder, that ne never made a mistake and got a whammie after so many tries^^

That's not "sketchy" to not encounter a 1/6 chance 10 times in a row, that's a 16% chance. Something would be noteworthy if it were a 0.01% chance or so, and even then it doesn't mean it couldn't happen... Execs don't have a basic understanding of statistics if they were actually thinking something was up after going 10 times without a 1/6 chance.

00:28 when he said Ice cream truck, one passed by my house lol

There's a spelling mistake at 7:05 >> says "pins" instead of "spins"

This channel is great!

I really like this new art style please make more of these

I remember the documentary and what he did was actually be very very observant. It turns out he didn't have to even memorize all 5 patterns at the time. It turns out that the two "target" squares always illuminated after a specific trigger square lit and it was always the same one, regardless of pattern. He just had to wait till that trigger square lit and be fast enough to press the button in order to land on the next lighted square, which was never a whammy and always had either money and/or a spin. The safe thing was that if he was a fraction too early the trigger square never had a whammy but often a trip, prize or such. He effectively found a safe zone on the board. That is why he would get "into a zone" as he was intently watching that trigger square. His early flubs were him trying to get the timing down and his only limit was simple human fatigue. He effectively played about as long as he physically could. Anyone could have done this, with no special memory skills and just focusing on the trigger square. It is possible that someone else could have figured this out or had already noticed it and had just not made it to the show.

I saw a documentary on this in my class 4 years ago.

6:41 *gets timing wrong and hits a whammie*

This is equivalent to counting cards. Just very smart

Michael: now I’m about to do what is called a watch dogs gamer move

2:05, actually getting a Whammy did not cause play to pass to the next contestant. As long as you still had spins, you can continue. Play only passed when you ran out of spins, passed your remaining spins, or if you got 4 Whammys.

I need to watch more infographics videos like this. Maybe 1 day I'll get an idea

I love it when you put up a picture of Bob Barker instead of Bob Edwards! hehehe! This is at the 3:08 minute mark.

Those cbs disliking video 😂😂

3:07 - That's a pic of Bob Barker, not Bob Edwards.

Those episodes were amazing. I got to watch them recently thanks to buzzr, and it absolutely blew me away. I have to hand it to this guy, he was definitely a smart cookie, in someways. He lacked common sense though.

Michael is genius he is so smart he broke a game and required them to change everything

This would be impossible for me, I couldn't even remember my lines in the school play....I had 2 lines!

The Infographics Show: Hack. Miachel: Are you jealous of my Big Brain?

Michael:wins 266,000 dollars Director:wait thats illegal

I live in Apopka FL and I was shocked when you said they found his body here

The name of the video looks like you’ll see it next to something saying : “why doctors hate the 30 year old woman who discovered this simple weight loss trick” with a picture of a young woman with money In her hand .

Michael was a man with a plan ~infographic show

"pins" wow what an "Michael" memory 7:04

I don't really think it's cheating, he just cracked a code that won him over ten thousand dollars and almost bankrupted the game show.

This reminds me about gravity falls when Stan was winning a lot of money

Maybe I can realize a pattern in my homework just like Michael😎

Love the animation keep it up

This is awesome! They should have flaunted his episodes

its technachly not cheating if he memorize it i just call it "Skill"
