Box 3 - £9,001 isn't great but it won't Sting too much...

Box 14 - 10p! Well, you're guaranteed at least £5 on the table already...

Box 15 - £100 completes a fine round that will surely put the offer on Higher Ground!

At 14-box...

The Banker is worried the loss of those low blues will make you feel like you can Grab The Moment and chase after the jackpot... while that approach might make you Popular with some, he thinks you should Slow Down and consider this offer first!

BANKER'S OFFER

£13,000

There's only four higher than that already... but there's one in particular that's a lot higher. At £13,000, Deal or No Deal?

This is quite precarious already, but that's the fun! For the meantime, I won't be Origo-ing anywhere - NO DEAL!

10, 21 and 22 next please! Hopefully I Stand in a much stronger position after those three...

It's easy to see how you could struggle to Hold On very soon in this game, but What's The Pressure? It's only round 3!

Box 10 - £500! See?

Box 21 - £10! An all-blue would be Amazing at this point...

Box 22 - £1,100 will certainly do!

Halfway there, and this is turning into a really promising game!

There is no shame, he says, in Coming Home with this sum of money...

BANKER'S OFFER

£19,000

We're already in decidedly chunky money territory! But this board could easily produce a Glorious outcome... Even If you take out the jackpot there's big money out there!

At £19,000, Deal or No Deal?

I've been a Survivor so far, and though it's a good offer considering there's 6 very low red/blues, I've got a Hunger to chase the Fairytale - NO DEAL!

I'll take 1, 6 and 17 next please.

Hoping for Euphoria, but could yet be left with Only Teardrops!

Box 1 - £24,240 puts these next two into sharper focus...

Box 6 - £310,000! There goes the big one... jackpot, we have to Kiss You Goodbye.

Box 17 - £133,700!

The Banker must feel Unstoppable after that...

"I'd apologise to you," says the Banker... "...If I Were Sorry." You will have to adjust your Compass now...

BANKER'S OFFER

£4,600

Not the offer you were anticipating at this stage, but on this board, maybe it's enough... remember, you have the option of putting it on 23, although you could lose the lot to the -£5,000 there! At £4,600... Deal or No Deal?

I really am a Cry Baby after that round, holy...

Indeed, there's that -£5k which really goes against me now. There was always going to be a bigger chance of a crash with the way I chose the boxes so in hindsight I should've opted for Menu A, but nonetheless I'll say NO DEAL and dance through this storm...

2, 11, 19. I'm moooviiing onnnn... And I'm gonna get stronger noowwwwww!

Obviously think you can never give up on this game...

Box 2 - £250! That'll do...

Box 11 - £750! This game is back on track, but is it Bound To Fall?

Box 19 -

We're back where we were at the start...

BANKER'S OFFER

£7,580

...but of course there's rather less money to play for than there was then! You've got the option of using it on 23 but not the obligation, and that's if you take it of course...

...at £7,580 for the second time tonight, Deal or No Deal?

That's a very fair offer here actually, definitely arguable to take that, but it doesn't look to nice through 23... Hmm, as tempted as I am to go Running I'm gonna say NO DEAL - that big money Don't Come Easy!

8, 9 and 20 for £5, £50 and £1,025. Hur svårt kan det va?

Let's see what we get!

Box 8 -


Box 9 -


Box 20 -

Good grief, a second awful round... given the turn of events...



... it's a DEAL for £1,944 and NO 23! Wouldn't have swapped, hypo Option 4

And that's the Deal! Box 5 had £50 and Box 12 £1,025 so that's something, but now for this bit... if you'd taken the other Deal you'd have had this.

+£10,000 (£10,505.34)
ADD HALF (£758.01)
MONEY BACK (£505.34)
HALF (£252.67)
-£5,000 (NOTHING)

What would have been the result?

I'm glad my small bailout paid off in the end! A wonderfully Eurovisiony bizarre game I'm sure you can make Statements about some of my choices there, but I remain Unbroken

Very similar game to the last one in not only having the same format but the pivotal round 4 setting up the total disaster and the player opting out for a consolation once all hope is lost in the main game.

With the Box 23 set-up (which was a no-brainer to take over the alternatives) being more friendly toward moderate wins and only providing a 20% chance of bailing out a blue win, I almost certainly would've dealt at 5 box with the intention of hedging my bets with Box 23.
