** RING **

He really wants to stop you activating that Bonus Box, but you're not giving him much room to inflate these offers, but they do continue to go up...

BANKER'S OFFER

£15,500

Heh~
That's not a bad offer for the board... It's actually fairly tempting, but the prize for a good round is so much more. NO DEAL, Banker!
I'll open 9, 21, and 10~

We play on, and it seems like we're keeping with the regular format still!


9 - £10! Finally a good start to a round!

21 - £50! An all blue round would be awesome right about now...

10 - £12,500! Not too painful, and this is a great 8-box! BT...

** RING **

This could've been a completely different game if he'd have gone with a different opening offer. But he didn't, and now we're here...

BANKER'S OFFER

£25,000

There we go~
That's a strong offer, and with the bonus box in play, that's very tempting to take now. Of course, now I can go one at a time, and I very much intend to do just that, so with the backups I've got you're going to have to work to get me out of this game! NO DEAL!
Box 18 and we'll have the next offer, no more playing around now~

Righto! And for the first time we're taking advantage of the twist...


18 - £75,000! Not what we wanted to see! BT...

** RING **

He knows you definitely won't deal if he dropped it below that threshold, so for now it's...

BANKER'S OFFER

£21,500

I'm tempted to cut my losses there, but I think it'll take a real disaster to end my hopes. NO DEAL and Box 15...

Three reds and the yellow remain... Avoid them, and we're on the way back up!


15 - £15,000! What will he make of that? BT...

** RING **

The Banker says this is the time for you to go, because another hit here will put you in jeopardy...

BANKER'S OFFER

£24,000

Hmm...
I'm anxious to push it one more at this point with those two reds missing, so I think I might actually call it a day here. It's a DEAL, thankyou!
Proveout order is 1, 6, 14, and 2, calling every box and leaving 11 to the end. NO DEAL to 23 (but hypo 4), since I'm not quite brave enough to put the bonus box in jeopardy, and Option 4 for the bonus box.

Nicely played Leah! £24,000 is yours, and we would love to validate that for you now!


1 - £10,000!

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£28,000

He'd have to have gone up because of the 200!

6 - £100! Not good news, you'd have had a 50/50 shot at £50k, and now...

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£37,500

Time to find the big ones...

14 - £200,000! That's a relief!

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£9,000

50 now...

2 - 10p! Nope...

We'd have had £1 and £50,000 at this point, and you'd have been offered

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£20,000

Only because of the presence of the Bonus Box! Would your lucky number have gotten you fifty thousand?

4 - £50,000! Oof, you did! 11 had the £1!

An up-and-down proveout, a bit like the game as a whole! Box 23 time...

This would have been your Money Menu...

DOUBLE (£48,000 & BB)
+£15,000 (£39,000 & BB)
MONEY BACK (£24,000 & BB)
HALF (£12,000)
NOTHING

You said NO DEAL, and you'd have opted for good old 4...

You'd have denied yourself a shot at the Bonus Box, which is coming right up!

That list...

DOUBLE (£48,000)
ADD HALF (£36,000)
+30% (£31,200)
+20% (£28,800)
+10% (£26,400)
MONEY BACK (£24,000)

And for up to £48,000 Leah, option 4...

You're up into Power 5 territory! You take home £36,000! Great game Leah, thanks for playing!

There we go!
Wish there was more latitude to press it, but there's always the fear of dropping the big two in consecutive boxes like that. Certainly can't complain about the yellows, even if the strong opening offer did give me an extra blue

Not sure what I would've done in that game, though why on earth wouldn't the Banker offer £19,999 at 2 box to give Leah a difficult decision?

£19,999 would have been an interesting 23 decision, too!

Ignoring the lost shrapnel, it's £40k/BB, £35k/BB, 20k, 10k, 0... EV without the BB element is £21k, but with it it's nearer £26k...
