All that round succeeded in doing is making the board even more polarized. However, it has a lot more potential now, especially with the one to open rounds after this next one, so I have to pull out the Banker's old faithful:

BANKER'S OFFER

£26,000

However, I should also mention that if you hit 1p and another blue in the next round, I'll offer you lot £62,000. Remember, you only have 2 boxes to open in the next round and 1 to open in the two rounds after that. You may also negotiate this offer risk-free if you want to.

No Deal.

Two boxes is too tempting a prospect to say no to - NO DEAL.

It is a fantastic board, and very tempting to go on, but I'm certain that one of the big two will be found in the next two boxes. I've negotiated a higher offer and shall Deal.

Round 5

So willrelf decided to Deal at £28,000. Was that the right call?

11- 50p

Dilan04 would've made an offer of £49,000 at this point. Th Banker calls and confirms that he would've made an offer of £30,000 at this point in a normal game, as the 1p and 10p are still in play. However, we know that if this next box is the 1p, the Banker will be offering £62,000 as he promised.

Banker Time............................

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. You lot (bar willrelf) fell right into my trap. Now the game is unquestionably in my favour, as my dream finish is still on but you folks don't have the £250,000 to persuade me to ignore that. A textbook offer for a 3 blues/£10k/£100k is £9,000, but since the 1p and 10p are still in play:

BANKER'S OFFER

£9,000

As always, you can negotiate a higher offer. Also, you only have to open 1 box in the next two rounds before you get another offer.

Happy with my decision at the moment, and I don't think even seeing the 1p in the next round would increase the offer above what I dealt at. Unless the final two are the two reds and £100k is in the box, I've done exactly the right thing.

For the record, if in live play I think I would have gone on one more box in the hope of a blue and then dealt the next offer after a negotiation.

NO DEAL.

No Deal.

I know I said ha more than 3 times, so either daniel123 or Skyline edited that post.

Banker's NEW Offer for daniel123 and Skyline until they fess up and apologise:

4p

i'm not even playing

I didn't edit it, so it probably was Dirty Danny D

That 4p offer would be very enticing, I have to say.

*emerges*

I don't know what - I've no idea - I - I- er, oh alright, it was ME!

Anyhow, I'm not even participating this week, Ol' Big Yankee Rod...but since you've summoned me from the walls, NO DEAL!

*recedes*

Round 6

So no one wanted to take the Banker's trap offer, despite the prospect of being two boxes away from the nightmare finish. Who made the mistake there?

Box 13-

Banker Time............................................

Drat, drat, double drat. Well, I guess I deserved that for making such a stingy offer in the last round. Therefore, I shall make a fair offer for the board:

BANKER'S OFFER

£18,000

Also, in case you're wondering what the offer will be if the £10,000 is discovered in the next box, in honor of Callum the beat-boxer and Ali the Mark tempo-banner, I'll promise to offer £40,000 on a 10p/£100,000 finish.

Worth a shot. NEIN DEALEN

Would have negotiated £20k and then dealt if in live play. £40k is an amazing offer if £10k goes, and surely an insta-deal for anyone who is still in live play. Still comfortable for now but I need the £100k to be found in the next box.

Odds wise this is a no brainer, so here goes! NO DEAL.

Round 7

So we know that if the £100,000 stays the final offer will be in the mega-money territory. Is it possible?
