Well, with that, Saperogo becomes the fifth player of our new era to Deal - all of whom have dealt at 2-box!
(This includes ACB's 2-box offer of a swap in his first game, having made no declaration on an offer of £5,250; however, he had requested £6,000 or he would be going on, so I'm assuming he No-Dealt).
He's now the second-highest winner we've had, behind Skyline's magnificent £70,000. However, it's another OBW - the fourth out of seven when you consider that under the definitions, the several OPLs can also masquerade as OBWs with consummate ease; there's nothing really separating the two, I don't think.
Our highest opening offer so far is Archstered's £11,000; he declined it, and went on to win
that £50 from his box. Lowest is my own £600, which I was offered after my disastrous first round; that round remains the worst opener so far in the series, at a combined total of
£401,000 .
Mine was also the first all-red opening round; we've yet to see an all-blue.
Skyline holds the record for having the best 3-box round in modern history; his fourth round came to just £5.51, and prompted a raise in offer from £2,000 to £10,000, kickstarting his recovery from mediocrity to riches.
As for the worst? That would be Saperogo's second round; after hitting the bottom 3 of the P5 in his opener, he then found £250,000, £15,000 and £100,000 (£365,000
) and unsurprisingly, his offer plummeted from £6,500 to £600 - he won, of course, that remarkable £7k.
Trivially speaking, on 3 occasions the player has swapped his box; in a nice pattern, this goes once hypothetically, once in active play and one re-swap. In the first game Saperogo hypo-swapped £1 for £500; three games later ACB swapped £250 in his box 7 to win £15,000 from his new box 9 for an OPW (the only of our series thus far); while later on, ACB also swapped away £5,000 for £1,000, however at 2-box he then swapped once more for £3,000. An interesting pattern indeed there.
That's as much as I can think of this early, if you'd like anything more please do let me know.
