quicko: deal or no deal

Horrific Australian cultural artifact in the form of a TV game show.  Akin to The Price is Right, but different.  Very difficult to explain, but more or less about knowing when to quit and walk away with what you've already won vs. when to keep on betting.  No strategy involved, primarily watched in nursing homes where it may well be the highlight of the afternoon.

Apparently we have the Dutch to thank for it (and they have it in the US too).

Sounds like "Let's Make a Deal" which has been on TV since at least the 1960's in America.
