Moneyball is a British game show that aired on ITV1 from October 30, 2021, to August 26, 2023, hosted by football legend Ian Wright
. The show involves contestants answering questions to accumulate a cash bank, with the outcome heavily influenced by the roll of a ball on a large U-shaped track called "The Launcher"
. Contestants answer questions by pairing items to fit a category, and correct answers earn them a chance to roll the ball to add money to their bank, with potential winnings reaching up to £250,000
. The game includes risk elements such as "Danger Boards," where landing in a "Lose" zone results in immediate dismissal without winnings, and a final roll that can either secure the contestant's accumulated money or cause them to lose it all
. The show ran for two series with a total of 14 episodes before being axed in October 2023
. In summary, Moneyball is a quiz-based game show combining trivia with a game of chance, where the roll of a ball determines whether contestants win life- changing sums of money or go home empty-handed, all hosted by Ian Wright
