Good job, Daniel.

The only tough decision in that game was £5,100. I probably would've taken it myself, but there is certainly an argument for playing on.

Enter the master of timing...

You have Box 11.

ROUND 1:

1 - £250
16 - £50,000

Offer 6: £1,700


The SWAP would have been offered -- NO SWAP
11 - £3,000

I probably would've dealt at 5 box as well. £17,000 would've been just enough for me to ignore the possibility of an extra offer if the £250k stayed.

Yeah, if I'd ticked the 'extra offers at 4 and 3-box...' thing under 'Preferences' (this was Aaron's version, again), I'd have continued. Same if I'd had the offer button; I'm willing to take the chance with one box, but probably not two and certainly not if I don't have that fall-back, as it were.

I honestly don't see the point in playing "one more box" on a board like that when you normally would have no hesitation in dealing. Sure, there's an 80% chance of avoiding the jackpot, but the offer won't go though the roof if you avoid it (it might go up to £23,000ish, maybe a bit less if the £3k goes), especially on the real show where the Banker knows you're likely dealing regardless of what he offers on a board that precarious. If the jackpot goes, however, you've crashed in a situation where you normally wouldn't have thanks to being swayed by the button. I'd rather just take the immediate offer and not have to worry about the button.

To mark the forthcoming occasion of my 10th forum birthday, here's my claim to the title of 'unluckiest game ever':

Like a good wine, getting better at this game with age...

My poison of choice tonight is Dilan04, played on Skyline's website.

I'll have box 9.

First round

2 - £5,000
21 - £250
15 - 10p
6 - £50
7 - £250,000! I've got the red mist!

The Banker offers me £2,500, which I say NO DEAL to.

Round 2

5 - £50,000
20 - £1
22 - £750

Now he rings up to increase the offer to £7,400. It's generous in the circumstances, but NO DEAL.

The third round

13 - £500
4 - £5
16 - £10,000

The third offer is £11,600. It's another nice incremental raise, but the answer's still NO DEAL.

Roundeth Four

1 - £100,000
10 - 1p
8 - £100

Banksy wants to talk to me again. 'What is it now?' I ask him. '£8,200!', he replies.
NO DEAL say I.

5. Runde

14 - £3,000 Honorary blue! Come on, let's get a chant going, BLUE, BLUE, BLUE, BLUE, BLUE! BLU-----
12 - £20,000 oh.
17 - £10 BLLLLLUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEE!

He's offering me £13,500. It's a clear decision; NO DEAL!

Round Six

11 - £75,000 yeeee---awwww....
19 - £35,000
3 - 50p That's better, rescued it just in time...

The Banker's happy, but so am I; it was worth the gamble. In between the £1k and £15k, he's wedging a pleasant sum of money. We're back to the second offer, it's £7,400 again.
I say I'd be quite happy to leave with a grand in my pocket, so it's a NO DEAL from me.

He offers the swap, and I'll keep my box on this occasion.

That box contains the amount I win tonight - which is...

My game this evening.......

I have Box 20

Ronan says:

NO DEAL

Round 4...

17 - £1,000

6 - £250,000

Not all over....

And again not a bad offer....

Banker's offer:

£20,500

Worst 2-box possible is £1 and £5,000 says Ronan, and some people would be lucky to get that.

Ronan says:

NO DEAL

15 - £5,000

18 - £20,000

9 - £35,000

Banker time with £1 and £75,000 remaining...

We're back, says the banker...

Banker's offer:

£29,000

Ronan is appreciative of the fact he has managed to get himself back to this point with £29,000


Ronan says:

DEAL

Was the reason behind not discovering that pound because it was here all along in Box 20....

Noel opens box 20 and reveals.... £1

Box 19 has £75,000



Amazing game, thought £250,000 going was gonna kill it all, but I managed to hold on to that £75,000 and got myself back to £29,000, which I was more than happy to deal at that time!

We're going again.........


Noel talks about yesterday's game, where there was an incredible 7 box, with £1 and 6 reds, but in the end with £1 and £75,000 remaining, I opted out with £29,000, and incredible only had the £1 in the box all along.


What a great start to the week that was, can Tuesday's game be any better....


Ronan has box 2 today....


Here we go, let the game commence....


11 - 50p

21 - £1

7 - £750

10 - £250,000

18 - £500

£250,000 going ruined a great opening!!!!!!


Banker's offer:
£7,300

Ronan says it's still good, but is determined to get the big money...


Ronan says:
NO DEAL



Round 2....


1 - £15,000

19 - £250

14 - £20,000

Ronan Says:

Round 3 here we come......



15 - £10,000

22 - 10p

3 - £5,000

Much better round!!

Banker's offer:
£11,000


Lloyd tells Ronan it's an extremely good sum of money and to think carefully about what's going to happen in the next round, as severe damage could be caused to that power 4 block, making £11,000 look amazing.

Ronan says he'd be happy to walk out of here with £1,000 or £3,000, so he's prepared to take the risk here...



Ronan says:
NO DEAL


Bring it on Round 4!!!


12 - £1,000

5 - 1p

13 - £10

Extraordinary, only if that £250,000 was here....


Banker feels challenged, thinks he's got to work extra hard here...

Banker's Offer:
£19,500

Ronan says that's such a life-enhancing amount, that would help him out a lot, he is grateful of the fact he can't take it all 4 biggies in the next 3, and would think carefully about the next offer if there were only 1/2 of those big reds there, he's also backed up by £3,000.

Ronan says:
NO DEAL


COME ON!!!!!!!


Right, Round 5.....


This would be just phenomenal if there's an ABR, without doubt one of the strongest Non £250K 5-Boxes possible....


9 - £3,000

4 - £50

One more blue....

17 - £100

What a 5-Box....

+£40,000 would have Ronan seriously considering here...

Banker's Offer:
£44,000

Ronan is stunned by such a big offer, he talks about the worst that can happen is a £5 vs £35,000 ending, which is still pretty good to him.

This is his chance, he says. He wants to make the most of it....

Ronan says:
NO DEAL


Final, most crucial Round of the game is here...

*chants of fiver*

16 - £5

20 - £50,000

6 - £100,000

£53,000 is really where the life-changing money, but so is £35,000, and that's what's guaranteed...


Ronan says:
NO DEAL

The banker calls back to offer Ronan a SWAP...

Ronan says:
NO SWAP


Noel opens Box 2 and reveals.... £75,000

Pitch Invasion ensues....

Box 8 with James has £35,000

Ronan says he's happy now he went for 6 instead, as there wouldn't have been as much applause when £75,000 came out of his box.......

What an amazing start to the week this has been, join us again tomorrow for another Deal!

We're back, it's Wednesday here in the Dream Factory.....

Noel talks about what a succession of a week we've started off with. £29,000 for a £1 box on Monday, and yesterday, one of the best 4-boxes you could dream about, and £75,000 was won!!!

Can we keep this up today, I certainly hope so......

Again, quite a good show, obviously a shame that £65,000 was blown but there was a victory in the end and that's what matters on this show!!! See you again tomorrow for another Deal!

Another strong show yesterday, despite the blowing of £65,000, there was still a victory as a £20,000 box was sold for £22,222.

See you Sunday, for the last, and hopefully the best game of this week....

Noel welcomes you to this Sunday show, and what a week it has been. Noel talks about Friday's show, where the banker very generously stuck at £21,500, which Ronan dealt at, unfortunately £75,000 was in his box. Thankfully it didn't affect Ronan too much.


Anyway, here we are, Sunday, hopefully an amazing game to end this amazing week of shows....

I hope everyone enjoyed this week's games, we'll see you next week for what will hopefully be just as or even more successful. Bye for now.

Noel welcomes us to the dream factory on this Monday, and talks about what an amazing week of Deal we've just had.


We see a montage of clips such as the £75,000 win, the £20,000 and the £1 wins.

Great start to the week, despite that extraordinary 5-Box that was turned away from.

Can we get another power 5 win tomorrow? I certainly hope so, join us then!

Noel talks about the amazing game yesterday, if only there was that one more no deal, we would have been facing potentially our biggest win yet. But still, a power 5 win, can we get another one today? I certainly hope so!

BANKER'S OFFER

Ronan says £6,500 is amazing, it would do so much, obviously not as much as £21,500, but then he looks at the fear of a 50p and £50 end, he says it's been an amazing game anyhow, and he still thinks it's worth another shot.....

NO DEAL
