[Sports Today reporter Kim Tae-hyung] Yang Se-chan suffers an injury during a futsal match, while Kim Jong-kook abandons safe betting and boldly embraces a high-risk "moth-to-flame" strategy.

On the April 12 episode of SBS's Running Man, cast members engage in ruthless mind games — and even betrayals — as they fight for the win.

The Running Man Cup futsal league kicks off that day. What starts as a routine futsal match quickly takes a turn as mysterious options appear one after another, flipping the momentum. Unexpected variables rattle the flow of the game, and a few members exploit those shifts with savvy plays.

Hwasa stifles a runny nose to keep competing, and veteran Ji Seok-jin earns surprising praise with a standout performance. The match turns intense, and tension spikes when Yang Se-chan goes down with an unexpected injury. Meanwhile, Young K — nicknamed "Gaebal" — reveals he played goalkeeper in elementary school and confidently boasts, "I stop everything — no goals get past me."

Cameras also capture HaHa quietly passing along his secret "moth-to-flame" tactics. HaHa pulls Yang Se-chan aside and shares a surefire betting strategy; Yang, known as "Ssapssagi," is reportedly left in awe, saying, "I'm really learning from you, bro." Even Kim Jong-kook, long known for his conservative, low-risk bets, switches to the daring moth-to-flame approach, setting the stage for an unpredictable showdown.

Don't let your guard down — HaHa's trick and Kim Jong-kook's transformation could be game changers. Only the boldest bettors will survive the "Betting Basics: The Gambler's Choice" race. Tune in to the broadcast to see how it plays out.
