I've heard from one person about a similar game like this, that
lured you in saying you had the high score, and to improve your chances
of winning you could buy a strategy book for XXX dollars.  They kept
tempting you with more and more books, and the person ended up getting
on all sorts of junk mailing lists.  So beware!
