But the reason why it won't be changed is that Range Game is not setup nor played as a game of pricing but as a game of patience.  If they want a win, the price will be nearer the middle of the board.  If they don't, it'll be closer to the extremities; and even then, when was the last time the price appeared in the first $150 or last $150 range of the scale?  When was the last time a contestant stopped the Range Finder in either of those sections?

I see your point.

Amusingly, though, this is the exact line of thought that got me to this point, too. When I noticed just how frequently the price ends up being in the middle - the green stripe on the board acting as a rough benchmark - I couldn't get it out of my head. I think the mismatch between the kind of prices we see today and the small window provided by the $600 scale is why it hit me so strongly.

"I don't know if the producers will let this air, but I was here yesterday wearing a Plinko shirt, thank you producers."

that is pretty close.

a $600 scale and 25% winning range within that feels, to me, too narrow.

I wouldn't call it narrow, but $150 range on a $600 scale with today's prices is pretty ridiculous.

Most contestants either:
- Try to cover themselves by straddling as much (usually around the middle of the board) of a price range that looks possible (often this will include capturing across a change in the thousands digit).
- Wait until the audience screaming becomes so intolerable that they press the stop button.

Now, if it was a $600 range on a $2,400 scale, then the game might be vastly improved in terms of playing it with an eye for pricing and not just guessing around the "likely" places the price is to be on the range.
