You can see this offer on the board, and the banker thinks this is respectable for the current scenario...

BANKER'S OFFER

£10,000

Board:
1P
£250
£10,000
£20,000
£75,000

Boxes left: 2, 4, 9, 19

You have Box 14.

The board is still a pretty good one if you ignore the board at the previous round and yet the offer is less than half the average, so NO DEAL.

Box 2 to start, please.

Crunch time...

-Box 2-
£75,000



Button or Box...?

Box 4 then the button, please.

And for the record I wouldn't have dealt at 8 box even without the button in play, so its presence didn't lure me into a crash.

Right you are...

-Box 4-
£10,000

Eek...

Insta-NO DEAL and Box 9, please.

-Box 9-

1p

At last!

£250 and £20,000 remaining...

BANKER'S OFFER

£8,000

Exactly the kind of rewarding courage bail-out I was expecting, and since Box 23 won't do me much good if I win a blue, I shall gladly DEAL.

Ok then! It's a DEAL FOR £8,000!

Your original box 14 contained... £20,000
If you'd have swapped for 19 it would've been a disastrous £250!

Now onto Box 23! The options were randomised at 7:27pm. Here are your possible outcomes:

£24,000
£16,000
£8,000
£4,000
£2,000

All respectable amounts of money... So, with your £8,000 would you like to purchase box 23?

I'm guaranteed £2,000 regardless and I wouldn't at all regret crashing from £35,000 to either of the upper options, so I shall DEAL Box 23 and choose Option 1.

Ok then, here's your result...

That just about sums up my game from 8 box onwards.

Oh well, I've been through worse than being (more or less) quartered twice.

Well, it was a topsy-turvy game for BEN, reaching the dizzying heights of £35,000, but ultimately crashing to £2,000 courtesy of box 23... Still, it could've been worse if he'd gone to the end and swapped!

Join us again soon for another thrilling game! Cheerio!
