Eye Bet was a game of observation. Contestants watched clips from old movies and tried to recall the most details they could from each scene. Jim then asked the contestants questions about what they had watched. The players also had to identify the title of the movie. Money was awarded for correct answers.

There is not a whole lot of information about Eye Bet itself and there are no known videos or pictures of the show available from the internet. However, one could get a sense of how the game was played from watching The Reel Game produced and hosted by Jack Barry over ABC in 1971. One episode or clips of The Reel Game have been available on YouTube and other websites. Eye Bet is noteworthy as Jim's first show he hosted after moving to Canada in 1972. He talked about the reasons for moving to Canada at that point in his life and career and how he landed the job on Eye Bet in a March 2005 interview.
