The Banker thought for sure that you would've exploited the button by pressing it at 10 box, and you made a serious mistake not pressing it then.

Prediction or No Prediction?

Only in retrospect.

No Prediction.

BANKER'S OFFER

£17,777

It looks like the Banker wants to force you on here. Will you take the bait, or will you take the offer? Deal or No Deal?

No Deal, of course, and now I'll go one box at a time and reassess after each one; box 11 is the first of those.

11-

Button or Box?

Oh boy. Box 7.

7- £1

Button or Box?

Box 9. I am liking this stability, even if the stakes have fallen.

The board is so stable at the moment that I really don't see much need in using a spoiler tag for this box.

The Banker has come up with an offer, and that's all you're getting out of him.

Prediction or No Prediction?

No prediction. This offer doesn't have a guarantee attached, and if I press the button for a future offer, that does.

Fair enough!

BANKER'S OFFER

£18,950

Already over 75% of the average, but you have the button and a chance at bonus money should you go on.

Deal or No Deal?

NO DEAL. There's lots of ways I can win more than that, and I'm prepared to take the risk to find one of them.

Box 5, please...

The ideal scenario here is of course finding one of those 2 blues.

5- £100

Button or Box?

Box 3!

If this is 50p, the button will have proven to be a huge weapon in this game even if it won't be used in the 22 box game!

3-

Do you wish to press the button now?

NOPE

Box 1

Can this box guarantee you a Power 5 win from this part of the game?

1- £75,000

NOPE!

£10,000 and £35,000 remain........

** RING **

The Banker has a VERY bad feeling about this game.

This is your last chance to predict the offer, but doing so is always optional. Prediction or No Prediction?

Nothing to lose with the prediction type I actually have, namely the straight cash one.

I'm just nervous he's going to do something really weird, but...

PLAYER'S PREDICTION

£22,400

This should be an easy prediction, but will the Banker be conpletely erratic for a change?



** RING **

The Banker genuinely would've honored the above offer had you not predicted it. With the current circumstances, though, there's a new offer.

BANKER'S OFFER

£25,001

Deal or No Deal?

OH I SEE WHAT HE DID THERE. Make the seemingly outrageous offer to prevent cashing out, knowing that even if I didn't take the bait he's... paying out about what he would have done if he hadn't made that offer.

In any case... it's an AMO, and there is evidence that a Banker who knows where the money is should act as though they do not have such knowledge (Bombardini and Trebbi, 2012). DEAL. A shame I didn't anticipate it, but that's still a very nice win. Would have swapped because I always swap.
