Eight months?! Really?! Apparently so! And KP is back with de facto back-to-back games...

A TALE OF TWO BOXES
SUPER 6
TWELVE SHIFT
SPLIT DECISION
MY KIND OF DEAL
BETWEEN THE LINES

Let's see if he's about to win about £40k again!

Hahaha. Option 2!

And we're playing...

TWELVE SHIFT

It's time to get shifty! 6 of those 22 are going to be on the move now, three downwards and three upwards! 6 numbers 1-22 to determine that to begin with please!

Oh hello.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 17 for this!

As always, we start with the worst shifts and end with the best...

Huge Downshift: £75,000 oh god... and oh god indeed. NOTHING. Well that's a start...

Standard Downshift: £500 to £20. Meh?

Small Downshift: £35,000 gets a trim to £27,500 and leaves Power 5 territory...

... and now we need some properly good news...

Small Upshift: 50p to 70p. Fab.

Standard Upshift: £750 becomes a red at £3,000 - and now hopefully for something mega...

Huge Upshift: £5,000 is going... to £77,000! We'll take that, but it almost renders this initial shifting process pointless but I'm sure the game that's about to unfold won't be!

Box 18 is on the table for this escapade. Good luck!

Well the shifts were underwhelming but there's hope for me yet, especially if I can hit that NOTHING early!

8, 2, 4, 6, 10.

Well let's do just that then, eh?

8 - £20,000

2 - £1,000 also doesn't help the colour balance, of course, crucial to Twelve Shift!

4 - £5 will though, as anything under a tenner owes to a huge downshift!

6 - £3,000 which is the original £3k if you're interested...

10 - £1! That was far from a bad round!

Let's shift again then, two numbers from 1-17 please!

I can take that round OK, double 16 for the shift!

Double 16 turns £15,000...


... into a SECOND £77,000!! Incredible!

Things are getting weird already in these bat hours! BT...

** RING **

The Banker was hoping this game was going to be as mediocre as the first six shifts suggested, but perhaps that isn't the case!

I need a prediction for this offer, as we're going to get some green boxes coming into play - as if we needed more mess!

Not entirely happy at predicting here but this was definitely a great start! It's slightly better than a maxed-out regular UK board in terms of total money but with a worse colour balance, so I think the way to go is to predict something close to what an opening ABR would produce in regular UK play...

PLAYER'S PREDICTION

£13,200

That sounds like decent logic...

BANKER'S OFFER

£13,377

... and that's because it IS!! 1.32% is one of the best predictions we've had in a loooong while, and let's get two large and one medium amount up there, as we wave goodbye to £100, £250 and £3k!

I thought about £13,370 hahaha, I just thought that was too obvious and you'd try and keep it deliberately out of a 5% band at least.

Medium 5, big 1-2.

Gives us...

M5 - £17,500

L1 - £85,000

L2 - £150,000! I'm having a little trouble breathing...

Erm, so it seems quite trivial now, but at £13,377 Deal or No Deal?

Erm, NO DEAL and that opening round might have been better than I realised what with the way the green cards work making the colour balance less relevant in round 1 specifically!

12, 14, 16. What a game this is already threatening to be...

It could just be our biggest game ever, especially as those amounts could shift up to £500k and those new Power 5 amounts making that even more likely than usual! Let's roll...


12 - 10p!! YES!!

14 - £50!! David. We have 15 boxes left okay. YOUR SIXTH LOWEST AMOUNT IS £10,000 WHAT IS HAPPENING?!

16 -

...and on the game mode where THAT balance matters most.

This could be absolutely ridiculous. Double 8!

Well, I can tell you that £77,000 (which was originally £5k) is now moving... If this is a huge upshift KP...

** RING **

The Banker can't quite believe his eyes here... He's saying nothing, as you may full well have imagined!

A second prediction needs to happen, but we've never been in this position before boy oh boy... Is it time to make it here?
