Normal board, normal rules, and you have been randomly allocated box 22.

Hope you're ready for this... let's start.

As SrReady as I'll ever be.

I haven't done one of these for ages... we do 5 / 3 boxes per post don't we? Or is it 1 box per post?

I'll start off with 5 to begin with...

6.

7.

9.

21.

11.

You can do either but one round per post makes sense to me.

6 - £50
7 - £250,000! Oh.
9 - £250. That's the one you wanted last time
21 - £10. Well this is certainly a stable start...
11 - £3,000. And that doesn't really change that!

Squeezing the board at both ends gives the Banker something to think about...

Banker's offer:

£5,000

A nasty hit there but some good values went with it too - ready for the question, "Noel".

Well, at £5,000, Deal or No Deal?

An unsurprising No Deal.

Next 3:

3.

20.

4.

Inevitable indeed, and now here we go with round 2.

3 - £50,000! Second big hit.
20 - £750. Much-needed.

[Cue some boring break link]

4 - £20,000. Is this game slowly slipping into despair like so many others of late?

The Banker says he thinks there have been so many bad games lately that you are due a good one!

Banker's offer:

£7,500

Shocking optimism from the banker there.

I'm ready though...

That would be a no deal from me. It's only the second round anyway!

Well, that's what one audience member says, but it's your game... £7,500, Deal or No Deal?

No Deal.

Next 3:

2.

10.

13.

2 - 50p! We needed one of those tiddlers there!
10 - £500! Is this the all-blue round that transforms this game?
13 - 10p! It is as well!

The board:

1p


£1
£5


£100
£1,000

£5,000
£10,000
£15,000

£35,000

£75,000
£100,000

Banker's offer:

£12,500

Ooh, I was looking for more than that... ready for the question.

A very quick decision there... £12,500, just to confirm, Deal or No Deal?

No Deal.

Next 3:

8.

5.

17.

8 - £10,000. We can definitely break up that block of three if we keep the three in the Power 5.
5 - £75,000! But we don't! (Yes, Noel's done it again)
17 - £15,000! Three five-figure reds in one round and suddenly this position of stability has been undermined.

The board:

1p


£1
£5


£100
£1,000

£5,000



£35,000


£100,000

Banker's offer:

£9,000

It's a good offer in as much as there are only 2 higher but they're big ones... and there's still two low red backups so I'm ready for the question.

Well, you're certainly implying there's more in the game... rightly or wrongly... and are you bluffing? At £9,000, Deal or No Deal?
