Michael Larson - Press Your Luck Cheater?

Press Your Luck was an 80's Game show where contestants would spin for prizes on a big board. Careful, if you landed on a Whammy you lost all you money and lost your turn. But did anyone ever avoid the Whammy? Yes, on May 1984 that aired on TV in June 1984, Michael Larson won $110,237 in cash and prizes, at the time the largest one-day total ever won on a game show. So how did he do it? Larson memorized the patterns used on the Press Your Luck game board. See, the board had lights that would light up fast, but if you watched closely you could see when it would always hit the big bucks square. Larson, figured out were the pattern was and scored big. The producers thought he was cheating because  they noticed that Larson immediately celebrated after many of his spins, instead of waiting the fraction of a second that it would normally take for a player to see and respond to the space they had stopped on. Watch the episode below and see if you can spot the pattern.
