The Ultimate Price is Right Strategy Guide: Freeze Frame

Freeze Frame

Rules

A prize is shown. A board is shown with rotating values and a frame at the top. The contestant must decide when the price of the prize is in the frame; once they believe it is, they pull a lever to stop the rotation. If they are correct, they win the prize.

Random fact

Freeze Frame's price reveal once completely froze:

Win-loss record

• Actual (seasons 29-46): 130-231 (36.01%)

The correct price was...(seasons 32-46)

• The most expensive price: 17 playings (11.33%)
• The second most expensive price: 32 playings (21.33%)
• The third most expensive price: 45 playings (30.00%)
• The fourth most expensive price: 46 playings (30.67%)
• The fifth most expensive price: 8 playings (5.33%) [none since season 42]
• The sixth most expensive price: 1 playing (0.67%) [season 40] 
• The second cheapest price: 1 playing (0.67%) [season 41]
• The cheapest price: 0 playings (0%)

Strategy

Pick one of the four most expensive prices. Make sure you choose a price that's at least $5,000--there hasn't been a prize offered in this game worth less than that since season 40. As for which price to choose after you apply those two facts, know the price. If you're completely clueless, go for the third or fourth most expensive choice.
