Beer Money is a sports game show, when Don Jamieson and Mayleen Ramey go to quiz New Yorkers on their beloved New York sports teams, at local bars. In some episodes, they can be seen at Citi Field or outside of Madison Square Garden or New Meadowlands Stadium. The first question is worth $10. The contestant may keep the $10 and walk away or go for the second question, which is worth $20. If they get any question wrong, then they will lose all their money. The third question is worth $100. That totals up to $130.
