# Snail Race

In this programme, 4 “snails” race across your TV screen to a finish line. Can you pick a winner? You can place a bet on the snail of your choice. You start with $50 but the sky’s the limit to the amount you can win. The snails move randomly so no pattern of winners can be set up. Your guess as to the winner is as good as the computer’s.
