The Banker admits he was a little cruel at the last call, so he wants to give you an opportunity...

BANKER'S OFFER

ONE MORE PREDICTION

... and it concerns Box 23. If you agree to this, you need to predict the offer he's just told me. Get it within 10% and he'll replace HALF with another DOUBLE card. Get it within 5% and he'll replace NOTHING with a TRIPLE card, but if you're outside of 10% he'll replace your DOUBLE card with NOTHING!

What do you think, do you want to take on his extra prediction here?

I'm... honestly not really sure at all what kind of territory I can expect for this offer, so I might have to be soft and say NO DEAL...

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

Rejecting the Box 23 prediction gamble, so what's the offer?

BANKER'S OFFER

£12,800

Almost double your last!

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

And... that was why, I would have gone way low on that! :oops:

It's getting a little tighter now, but the P5 block is still holding very strong, and the £10k is doing alright as well. If we can drop a few more blues, I think this could easily wind up in very scary territory for the Banker! So for now... NO DEAL!

I'll run one more conventional round before slowing down so I can use the button, so 8, 20, 10 please!

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

Let's play another conventional round!

8 - £10,000! That's the fallback gone!

20 - £50,000! Thaaaat's not comfortable, now this HAS to be blue to draw 4-4 at 8-box...

10 - £3,000! Completes an all-red, but there's two big boxes up there AND you have a live button! BT...

The Banker says you suffered a very damaging round there, but he says you should ignore that button you have got and take this VERY generous...

BANKER'S OFFER

£12,800

... stick!

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

Hmm... This is a pretty tough spot. If I lose the £75k, I'm pretty much guaranteed a crash of some magnitude. Even if it's just the £35k I lose, that'll force the offer to stay much further down than I'd like... it feels like the only way to get the offer to do much in the upwards direction is to hold on to both.
That said, a stick is kind of rude, so... I'm gonna say NO DEAL!

But why would I ignore the offer button I have right here? I'm gonna PRESS THE BUTTON right away

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

It's a NO DEAL, and a very interesting move!!

** BUTTON **

** RING **

The Banker says you've basically told him that you want to Deal at this point, so he thinks it isn't necessary to go more than exactly 50% of the average!

BANKER'S OFFER

£13,250.58

Has that plan backfired or is this exactly what you wanted to use it for, Leah?

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

Yeah, that's what I expected, it's a DEAL!
I mean hey, I was talking myself into dealing anyway, so why not take the best offer I can get?

12, 16, 19, 22, 21 for the proveout.

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

There it is, the button worth precisely £450.58 to you there! Now to see if that was the right thing to do...

12 - £35,000! Now we'd have been at a one-box game! Half the average now a little under £10,900...

16 - 50p!

19 - £500! Gah!

Where would we have been at now?

BANKER'S OFFER
WOULD'VE BEEN

£17,777

Because there's now a 40% chance of you taking him for £75k! Then what would have happened?

22 - £10! Perfect!

21 - £1!! Oh my word!! You'd have had a 2 in 3 shot at the £75k now!!

And now?

BANKER'S OFFER
WOULD'VE BEEN

£36,666

Coming up to three times your deal! Now would you have swapped 2 or 7 away for Box 3?

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

Ah, geeze... NO SWAP I think.

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

No Swap and here goes...

2 - £1,000
7 - 1p!! You never had it, because it was over in Box 3 all along! Now it's time for Box 23...

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

Now there's only one bad option on this money menu...

DOUBLE (£26,501.16)
+£15,000 (£28,250.58)

MONEY BACK (£13,250.58)

HALF (£6,625.29)
NOTHING (£0)

How does it take you though Leah? For £13,250.58... Would you like to buy Box 23, Deal or No Deal?

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

At the risk of pressing my luck a little too far... DEAL, Option 4

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

Nobody's bought it with a reasonable sum in a while... I hope this will inspire your fellow players to do so! Number 4...

+£15,000 (£28,250.58)

PERFECT! What a result there Leah, you've gone more than double all the way to £28,250.58!! Great job!

Once Ben returns to complete his game, it's time to finally reveal how Mark, KP, Leah, Archie and Ben all did, and who will be playing our very special fiftieth game! Join us next time :smt023

Nicely done! Think I'd have risked it more in the main game and not on 23, but some nice flair in how the button was used to maximise the Deal!

Good game with a gloriously wacky result

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

That's why I specifically made it a rule in my series that the Offer Button can be used at any non-standard stage of the game. ;-)

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

Given my #47 was taped before this one, I think that might explain my cautious deal here a little.
