Card Sharks Money Cards

It's not joker's point, it's Scott's, but dealing them the "Eubanks way" is consistent with the front game. The first card off the top of the deck is the first one you play with. I agree that it doesn't really matter which card is your base card, but it's entirely possible somebody at some time decided it to be a better way.

The only way I can see it potentially mattering is if there's a concern over the contestant accidentally seeing a card as its dealt. If the first card off is more likely to be flashed, clearly they'd want it to be the first card played, rather than the last card played.

a) There are so many ways to avoid having that enter into the equation that it's not even worth considering.

b) If it DID end up being a problem, they need new dealers.

Agreed on both counts. I'm just presenting a possible reason. Truth is, there is probably fark none reason why they did it one way rather than another.

Oh, for sure. But another *possible* reason is that an emergency wire came from the Queen of England stating that Her Highness had caught wind of the shows revival and that she wanted to point out that she didn't care for the order in which the cards were dealt on the Perry show.

Now, I allow that your suggestion is more "possible" than that, but I'm trying to illustrate that "possible" and "likely enough to merit consideration" are two different things.
