k, let's put it that way:

after picking 1 suitcase, there is a 1:19 chance, we have the million, and a 18:19 chance the million is in the remaining 19. true or not?

true, but at no point do other briefcases become "revealed" before a decision is to be made

thus monty hall would be null, i think

monty hall problem in "deal" would be as follows

when down to three cases, you have a bankers deal open.

your case is next to you, the values left are 1 million, $1, and $2

The banker offer is $400k.

Before you could choose, the host reveals that one of the cases that is not yours is in fact holding the $1.

Under the assumption that the host will always reveal a single briefcase containing a low number from the two briefcases that are not yours, it is in your best interest from an EV standpoint to take the other case (666k) as opposed to the banker offer (400k) or your own briefcase (333k)

but since this never happens, its a moot point

the monty-hall-problem doesn't just apply to cases w/ 3 cases, it's universal to any number. so if we have like 999 goats and one prize, pick one blindly, get shown 998 goats we still need to switch(ldo).


___________________________
rethinking:
we have a 50/50 pick to have a suitcase in the upper 50% and in the lower 50% so when we are down to 2 monty-hall can suck my hairy balls.

I thought it had to contain at least a minimum of skill-related decisions in order for it to be called a game show?

Do the producers of the show use any type of formula to get the offers? Because I've seen some EV+ and other EV- offers so I don't know where they get the numbers from.

I always assumed that someone behind-the-scenes looked at the contestant's actual EV and then made an offer near that. They can make it slightly higher or slightly lower each time depending on what they think will make for good TV. Or that's what I would do anyway.

Would you take it knowing it was a -EV decision?

Of course you would because it would be a life changing amount of money and the sick, sick life tilt you would go on if you got the £1 box would not be worth it and also the knowledge that you are never going to be in this spot again to even out the variance would surely sway you.
Precisely.

the banker gives way too good of deals on the american version. I love that they only offer 20k for 100k of EV. It makes the show so much better because ppl will gamble it up more.

That is what makes the american version suck. No reason to gamble.

A true balla would tell Howie to shove a suitcase up his ass, say hold on I gotta take ****, and then just walk off the stage and out of the studio right in the middle of the game.
