Play Your Cards Right aired on ITV from 1980 to 1987, produced by London Weekend Television.
The first card could be changed if they wished (but only if they got the question right), and when they wanted to, they could "freeze", which would protect their cards.
In the Cash Cards, this time, the couple were given £1,000 to start with and their minimum bet had to be £100, but they could bet the whole lot if they wanted to.

Each year, credit card users allow many hundreds of millions of pounds to slip through their fingers simply because they don't use the best credit card for each transaction.
Card issuers have become increasingly adept at tempting us with special deals, designed to appeal to one particular aspect of our needs, be it interest-free credit on transfers, discounts on purchases, fee-free shopping abroad or travel insurance on holiday bookings.
The insurance may be a benefit to those who want to go on holiday, while the cashback would be useful for people using their cards for extended business trips, albeit by being somewhat blase with the company's money: they pay the expenses bill, you get the refund on your card.

 Math Trek: Disorder in the Deck, Science News Online, Oct. 14, 2000
Card players sometimes get lazy, shuffling a deck fewer times than necessary to randomize the cards.
Subsequent research showed that hands in which suits are evenly distributed, that is, hands with four cards of one suit and three of each of the other suits, are actually more common in games in which people do the shuffling than they should be according to theory.
The reason for such a pattern is that cards during bridge play tend to clump together in groups of four of the same suit.

The receiver then looks at the card that has been "served" and guesses whether their card will be higher or lower, before turning it over (NB: Keep the respective piles separate, dont play on top of each others cards!).

In "Brucie's play your cards right Tennis", this is achieved by swapping piles after the first game and then ever subsequent two games.
