As part of the forum-wide April Fools gag I am, as Ben Stein would say, relinquishing my hosting duties to defend my money by becoming a common contestant.

Over to you, ~~Jimmy Kimmel~~ Leah.

Alright, so we start with our standard 22-box board, but before we start removing values we're going to switch them up!
I'm going to need five numbers 1-22 for the values to switch out, and five more numbers 1-10 for the values to replace them with.

Let's hope the odds fall in my favor as I remove 11, 13, 15, 17 and 21 and add 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 to replace them.

I'll gladly take that.

Now let's hope I can destroy the board top left as I begin with 1, 3, 5, 7, and 11, please.

Seven Power 5s for the Banker and six for the player. This could be fun.

Which means THIS is your board:

1p
2p
10p
50p
£1
£2
£5
£20
£50
£100
£250
£500
£1,000
£2,000
£15,000
£20,000
£35,000
£50,000
£60,000
£75,000
£100,000
£250,000

A decrease in stability around the smile range, but your power 5 has been upgraded to a super 6!
With that, you have been assigned Box 6.

Let's open the first five boxes to remove and get this game rolling!

The banker says your first round is making this board look a lot nicer already!
Will you make your first prediction here, or bide your time to gather information?

This is a really good bad board. :eyes:

Tempted to predict £6,500, but given the one strike and you're out rule my series has I'll abstain.

BANKER'S OFFER

£3,500

Good choice to hold off, the banker went much lower! The missing stability could bring this board down much faster than you expect, he says!

In any case, for £3,500, Deal or No Deal?

**Joined:** Thu Jan 10, 2013 10:20 pm **Warnings:** 0

NO DEAL to that 2005 style offer, and open 13, 15 and 17, please.

A much better round, he says, but there's a big drop below P5 level including nine blues still in play. Will you make a prediction?

Let's do this!

PLAYER'S PREDICTION

£7,070

And on a board THIS precarious already, I'll definitely play for the OFFER BUTTON

**Joined:** Tue Nov 11, 2014 4:23 pm **Warnings:** 0

BANKER'S OFFER

£6,500

He went with your earlier prediction for an 8.8% miss! That gives you a LIVE BUTTON!

And for £6,500, Deal or No Deal?

**Joined:** Thu Jan 10, 2013 10:20 pm **Warnings:** 0

I nearly predicted £6,750 to cover the 5% band for that, but hopefully my board is good enough down the road that I don't need that half the average stipulation.

A regular button certainly doesn't do me any good this early, though, so NO DEAL and let's continue with 21, 22, and 20, please.

**Joined:** Tue Nov 11, 2014 4:23 pm **Warnings:** 0

On to 11-box!

Box 21: £35,000
Down to just three boxes that matter...

Box 22: £250,000

Oh no...

Box 20: £5
That doesn't give much in the way of solace.

Board:
2p
10p
50p
£1
£2

£20
£50

£250
£2,000

£60,000

£100,000

** RING **

The banker's laughing down the phone, he says it's not long until you'll be playing for a mere £2k!

Prediction or No Prediction?

Too bad I didn't predict £6,500 at the last offer, as I definitely would've used the 75% button at 13 box for a likely (at least at this stage) Banker Spanking. :shock:

No prediction.

A 13-box OPW would have been one for the ages
