    I don't care what kind of a show it is if I come out a few grand richer, I'll take the slagging.

    are you that sensitive that around, at least, €5k wouldnt numb all the pain of appearing on such a show?

    €5k? You're guaranteed at least €20k nowadays. I've three stars sent in this week- wish me luck!

    As attractive as she is Katherine Thomas is a poor presenter (I feel ashamed for having seen enough Winning Streak to form the basis for an opinion).

    It's because of gems like Babs that Winning Streak can be, the rare time, somewhat watchable.

    The only way to get on that show it seems is to be old and from the countryside.

    never been to dublin before seems another way to get on :D

    i would say nobody has ever gone on the holiday won, they all ask for the money value instead

    Lets be perfectly honest about it that show is the reason this country is in a recession in the first place!

    I sent in a ticket before, just for showing up you leave with a small fortune. Don't they call out who is gonna be on next weeks show from a glass barrell thing each week? So long since i watched it.

    The killer is that they'll just call out "Joe Bloggs from Dublin 9" or whatever, one Saturday evening a couple of years back I was inundated with texts from wellwishers after I was apparently drawn to be on next weeks show. Knowing that I hadn't sent in a three stars for several months beforehand, I knew it wasn't me (despite my name not being common at all) but I played along, I was getting phone calls all week from dickhead cousins and "friends" who I hadn't seen in years wishing me well.

    I nearly weeweed myseld when "I" turned out to be an octogenerian oul lad. :pac:

    I've been sitting down here half watching winning streak with the missus. That alone is enough to attract mass slagging but anyway,
    I havent seen all the contestents but at least 4 out of the five are in their sixties or older. In other episodes I have "watched" the pattern seems to be a large amount of 60 plus contestants.
    Do this age group gamble more in buying these tickets? Are the poxed with luck? Is Winning Streak fixed to only allow this age group on the show? Are the national lottery funded by the pensions of the elderly?


    They can read and write, unlike the the shíteheads going round today.

    That's probably why.

    Marty is a card though isnt he! He plays the "Howya Betty, sure y'ere the bell of ballygobackwards so ya are" schtick to perfection just like Mike Murphy used to, but the knowing glint is always in his eye. Its obvious hes thinkin to himself - Jesus what happened to my career, I used to be on Open House 5 days a week and was a 2FM DeJaaaay, ah well its afew bob I suppose!

    my father (yes over 60 and from the country) was on it last year. It was a great day out and you get treated very well there but my god as cheap as the game looks on tv does not compare with reality. The games look like they were put together by 3rd year students doing their woodwork project. They started bashing one of the games to get the lights working.

    What gets me is how bloody miserable most of the contestants look.
    I've seen more life in a morgue.
    If I ran the show I'd fine them for not being happy with their winnings.

    They'd nearly have been better off if they were.

    No way mate - just get on the sauce with your mates during the day before the show. Then make sure they are in the crowd. It'll be the talk of every session for years!!
