It's definitely a board where the red inflation matters, as there's six of them - and the 20p/£26k combo is of course also upgraded from 1p/£20k. So the twists are helping me out here for sure.

Not a small offer given the lowered ceiling, but plenty of opportunity for me to win more, even if it's not a lot more. NO DEAL.

15, 19, 21.

The question is, will we get to 8 Box without The Banker calling?

Box 15-

£5

Once again, a sensational start!

Box 19-

£55,000

Now only one figure is in power 5 territory.

Box 21-

£16,500

Gosh.

**RING**

He insists that he will give you an offer at either 7 or 6 box..

BANKER'S OFFER

£9,500

Not bad after that damage, although it helps that there's still some cushioning in that low red territory.

I feel like I can play on, and I'm interested to see how the Banker plays this now. NO DEAL - 11, 13, 9 is my next three in that order, but we'll see on the interruption front.

Starting with 11..

Box 11-

£5,500

Any calls?

...

Nope.

Box 13-

£500

Fantastic! Will he stick to his word?

**RING**

It seems so!

Hello?

Only one box to open if you decline this valuation.

BANKER'S OFFER

£13,700

That one box to open makes me feel much more comfortable in this spot...

...it is an improvement, no doubt, but NO DEAL! Open 9!

This box will give us our 5 Box scenario. Hopefully we'll be smiling!

Box 9-



BT

**RING**

With the chance to play on and *possibly* one box at a time..

BANKER'S OFFER

£16,000

Wow, that swapped combo are both still in play!

Something tells me that might be my final two for some reason, and in any case the next round has so many variables. That's the case for dealing. The case the other way is that I've got three sizable sums on that board, and a 10% disaster chance with no guarantee I won't get an escape route from even that. Plus, playing on and losing still leaves me the 1/6 chance of the jackpot.

Ultimately, I think that's close enough to the mean for me to DEAL!

7, 3, 1 to finish.

It's a DEAL for £16,000!

Will the prove-out prove that you or The Banker made the right decision..

Box 7-

£82,500

FABULOUS!

Box 3-

£11,000

If the next box is £100, your prediction would have come true!

Box 1-

£26,000

Well what about it!

BT with 20p v £100

**RING**

He counts you as one heck of a lucky so and so!

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£26

And your original box contained..

Box 5-

20p

The converted 20k!

Box 17-

£100

Box 23 time..

What an escape. What. An. Escape.

It really is only one option with this Box 23 which would ruin things..

DOUBLE = £32,000
BOX 23 JACKPOT (£90,000) = £106,000
MONEY BACK = £16,000
-£5,000 = £11,000
HALF = £8,000
NOTHING

That's your #moneymenu..

Are you tempted? I'm sure you are..

With £16,000, would you like to buy Box 23, Deal or No Deal?

One ruinous option. One glorious option.

Imagine if I turned this down and then hit jackpot, meaning I'd have lost £74k by making the right decision at 5-box..

...to be honest I think that might tip it on its own, DEAL! Number 5...

Alright! You are now about to find out your fete. We thought it was all over when you deal the £16,000, but you've now purchased Box 23.

Hopefully, that Jackpot is in Option 5..

Box 23, option 5;

Amazing! You purchased 23 for the very reason you didn't want to miss out on The Jackpot.. And you've won it!

David, what a decision and what a result. You leave with £106,000!

That Jackpot will reset to £20,000 ready for the next game, whoever plays!

Until next time, goodbye!
