The Banker's finally finished setting up his calculator, and apologises that the last offer may have seemed a bit poor... But now he's primed and ready to get you out, and out right now!

That prediction hasn't been made yet, would you like to do so now?

Blimey. A 2-in-11 chance of winning the jackpot - 55 2-box combinations left, 10 have £250k in.

I think I will go for the prediction, but with so much uncertainty I am going to go for something that gives me something for being as much as 25% out, namely the cash option.

PLAYER'S PREDICTION

£52,000

He's made his prediction for some cash-in-hand! If it's on the nose, it's £20k. If it's within 5% it's £15k, 10% it's £10k, 15% it's £3k, 25% is a modest £500 and you get nothing if you're even more wrong than that... The Banker's third offer to you is...

Even the original offer was an AMO (and now I see why ACB suggested that offer

) but of course the chances of winning the top amounts are greatly amplified!

The other reason I went for the cash was to try and give myself a guaranteed chunk which would give me more latitude to chase the £250k. I have that - NO DEAL!

WOW, KP of all people just turned down 117% of the average. :shock:

That ten grand has given you the adrenaline you needed to chase that jackpot! While the number of combinations is higher, there's still the same chance you can knock it out in one round... so don't do that!

15 - £3,000! Brilliant!

19 - £250!! Oh my word, what sort of an 8-box is this going to be?!

The Banker's relieved to see that final box, with the double-box average ready to break into six-figures... But now he can be a little more relaxed.

BANKER'S OFFER

£31,000

But it's still a lot of money! What are you thinking David?

The amazing thing about this board is that I have practically a coinflip chance of winning £75k+ by going to the end, and close to a 2-in-3 chance of £50k. And then there's £20k!

And that's before adding the £10k!

All that's been removed is the £250k ceiling.

Lots of room to chase this. Lots of room to chase this. It has to be another NO DEAL.

11, 7, 9!

I probably would've dealt the last offer, but I'd definitely go on here.

**Joined:** Wed Feb 01, 2006 6:19 pm **Warnings:** 0

On we go, I think the Banker was counting on you suffering more hits in this round, so prove him wrong!

11 - £1,000! Yep!

7 - £100,000!! It's a knock but you still have an incredible shot at one of the big two... But you have to miss them with 9 now!

And again the double-ended squeeze is applied, but with the distribution of the prizes that round was much more positive than the last one!

He's concerned about your will to chase the big money with a cushion to land on should all go wrong! He's nothing that for future reference, but now, he HAS to get you out.

BANKER'S OFFER

£45,000

And remember, if you play on, we only open two boxes to reach the 3-box climax... What on earth do we do now?

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

This is still a very powerful board, as woth the revised rules KP has a 70% chance of guaranteeing himself at least £20,000 with a 2 in 3 chance of £50,000+!

**Joined:** Sat Jan 28, 2006 8:00 pm **Warnings:** 0

By my maths, I'm not actually going to gain much more on average playing on. And with five boxes left, calculations for this situation are actually quite simple for the first time all game.

It's a DEAL, and 5 and 3 would have been the two to open...

£45,000 would be an easy Deal for me here.
