We've just had the madness of Archie's game, he peaked at £251,000 when he briefly had a second £750m box in play, but he left after some huge risks with a rather modest £22,000! Will American Coupon Boy have a better performance now?

Pick your box, and then lets have your first pair of numbers for the first shift!

I'll have Box 19 as my box.

I'll then have 9 and 19 for the first shift.

I'll then have boxes 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13 for the opening round

And I'll then have 19 and 9 for the second shift.

I should've guessed at least 3/4 of those sentences really Lets play! Out first is £2,500... and we get a decent 88" 4K Smart TV currently priced at £17,999!

BANKER'S OFFER

£37,500

Highest opening bid yet (I think), but there's still seven above!

A good offer to start the proceedings, but I think there are at least a few more shifts in the game , so NO DEAL.

15, 17, 21, 23, and 25 next, please, followed by 14 and 9 for the shift.

Alrighty, onwards and hopefully upwards!


15 - £250! Good start.

17 - £100!

21 - £100,000! Not a comfortable knock, there...

23 - £100! Another blue would be bliss right now...


25 - £7,500 There it is!

Shift time, this could be a good one...

Oh my, Ben your £1,000,000 box is on the move...




... but HELLO TO £2,750,000!! You're great at getting these huge multi-million pound boxes into the game! That's lucky 9 for you

He wants you gone, now, with an offer from the last game before Archie lost his huge £1.2m box...

BANKER'S OFFER

£118,000

Six-figures ALREADY!! Fancy a bit of a gamble, Ben? Or are we about to see our first 15-box Deal?

WOW, the Banker is not mucking about.

As the Banker knows, I put my Deal light on to Archie's £118,000 offer. However, 2 big differences with his board and mine is that I have 3 of the greens left instead of 2 and the offer is less than half the average.

With that being said, I still think there's 2 more rounds in the game, so NO DEAL.

26, 24, 22, and 20, followed by 7 and 9 for the shift.

The big money is out on the table already, but is it here to stay? Will it grow? The next four boxes will answer that...



26 - £15,000! Yep!

24 - £500,000!! Just two greens now but that includes that massive multi-million pound box that MUST stay in the game if you want that offer to go up...

22 - £5!! YES! Finally breaking into the huge downshifts!

20 - £50,000!! The balance is still in your favour 6-5 for this shift, lets hope you fare well...

£20 is going... for a smaller downshifter, £3,500! Every little helps...

That should add about £200 to the offer.

You took a couple of hits in that round, but he still has to reward you as the big persuader is still on the board...

BANKER'S OFFER

£150,000

You said at the last offer you thought there were two more rounds in this game... Do you still stick to that premise?

Still less than half the average, and I only have a 5% chance of knocking out both greens in the next round, so NO DEAL.

18, 16, and 14, followed by 5 and 7 for the shift.

We press on! Lets avoid that 5% possibility at all costs...



18 - £50!


16 - £2!!! An all-blue now would be absolutely smashing!! It'll get the Banker panicking...



14 - £40,000! We can certainly live with that! 5-3 in your favour for this shift now, can we do something wonderful here?

We're losing £10,000 now...



... upshifted, as hoped, to a magnificent £500,000!! Boy oh boy...

BANKER'S OFFER

£286,031.88

He thinks it's time to give you it, but he's added an extra £30k on to try and seal the Deal! Is that enough to tempt you away from playing for that huge 7-figure sum?

I came here to play the game.

However, as £26k Ollie from October 2012 said, playing the game doesn't necessarily mean playing to the end. I've alreadytaken two big calculated risks, and extacted a ultra-generous offer from the Banker as a result. If I Deal now and sell any of the lower amounts for a profit of over £200,000 I've definitely played the game superbly.

With that being said, I shall be sensible and DEAL.

I would've gone with 12, 10, 8, 6, 2 and 4 in that order and went with 1 and 2 for all the remaining shifts.
