We've hit a milestone here, as the jackpot hits £300,000! HUNTER would love to win it, or maybe even more, but we've only had three wins over £9,000 so far, so maybe we could start by trying to make that four? Anyway, here's the game variations...



...and a number 1-6 will select one for you!

Number 2, please, KP.

And it's...



Third time in five games!

The board isn't changed...

...but Box 23 certainly is. It starts off with MONEY BACK, HALF, and NOTHING... but you get the chance to build on that by getting up to three positive options added on! You get three predictions at any point in the game, and every time you get within 10% of the Banker's offer, you get a positive option added in. If you get within 5%, you'll even get a choice of two - or three if you're ever on the nose!

No risk in the predictions, you can't make 23 any worse, and if it all goes wrong then the good news is that Box 23 is always optional unless you take an offer which forces its use. Or lack of use, for that matter.

Box 10 is on the table, and it's time for you to select five others for your opening!

1, 3, 6, 11 and 15, please.

Box 1 - £5,000. Could be worse, that's for sure.

Box 3 - £10,000. Maybe very slightly worse, like that.

Box 6 - £35,000. Or quite a bit worse, like that. We need a blue now...

Box 11 - £75,000! Surely not an all-red...

Box 15 - 1p! That's as emphatic a way to prevent that as you'll get!

Is it prediction time on this curious board?

Remember, you have three to make across the whole game.

Not right now.

Keeping the full stash in your pocket for now, fair enough!

BANKER'S OFFER

£7,000

That's where he's started... Deal or No Deal?

I would've gone £8,500. Anyway, NO DEAL, thank you.

7, 12 and 21, please.

Nice escape then, you'd have whiffed on that prediction!

Box 7 - £100 and we've got the blues going at last!

Box 12 - £750! Now, can we get a fourth blue in a row after the four-red start?

Box 21 - £50! We can!

The all-blue is always good to see and will send the offer up...

...but by how much? You have your three predictions intact... using one here?

BANKER'S OFFER

£12,500

Close enough! It's within 10% but not 5%, so you get one random positive option... and it's ADD HALF, which isn't to be sniffed at!

At £12,500, Deal or No Deal?

Good prediction on my part. I'd like to further improve on Box 23. NO DEAL.

2, 4 and 8 next.

Looking to build on the foundations that last round built...

Box 2 - £15,000. Key here is not to start another red run...

Box 4 - £1,000... wrong colour, but right number...

Box 8 - £250! There's that blue!

You definitely have the upper hand at the moment with the jackpot and some chunky backups, but maybe the Banker will be galvanised by how many tiddlers are out there...

...and with two predictions intact, you'll have to think about that as well, and either use that second prediction or keep it for later!

Clearly expecting a reaction to the increased instability...

BANKER'S OFFER

£16,500

...and evidently not getting it. So that's two predictions down and only one working out... but at £16,500, Deal or No Deal?

Well, there's one more prediction ahead of me. NO DEAL.

5, 16 and 22 next.
