The two contestants started with $250 each and were asked multiple choice questions with six possible answers but each answer had some odds (Evens, 2–1, 3–1, 4–1, 5–1 & 10–1) and after each question was asked, the contestants were asked how many points they would like to bet (up to $250) and then, they selected the odds that corresponded to the answer they thought was correct, if they got the correct answer, they won the points the odds were worth, if they gave a wrong answer, they lost the points. After five questions, the contestant with the most points would go through to the final while the loser left the show with parting gifts. Then, they played again with two different contestants and the winner of that met the winner of the first game.
The two winners played for cash in the final and only the winner took the money home while the loser took home half of their winnings. The winning contestant was given the option of returning on the next show to add to his or her winnings, but if they returned and lost, the winnings for that championship game were paid out of the defeated champion's total. Contestants stayed on the show until they either chose to leave or were defeated.
