Stats for October's astonishing set of games:

Payout: £632,865.00 (highest since September 2011 and 3rd highest behind that and January 2007 )
Average Winnings: £31,643.25 (3rd highest as well behind August 2006 and January 2007 )
Total Box Values (after swaps): £1,330,312.20


Total winnings this month were 48% of what they would've been if all the boxes were opened, so the Banker beats the players this time around, but I don't think most of the players care too much.

2/5 people would've benefited from dealing rather than opening their box.

6/15 people would've benefited from opening their box rather than dealing.

4/20 people took the most money possible out of their game. They were: Louise, Ann, Mel and Harry

The 1p has NOT to the table this month.
The £250,000 has come to the table 4 times this month (both including and excluding hypo-swaps).

Miscellaneous Stats:

Before Kristie's game, the last time someone dealt £50,000+ at 5 box was January 2012, where ironically 4 people dealt over £50,000 due to the astonishing luck in that month as well.

Several massively against the odds events occurred in Max's game:

Keeping the Top 7 to 10 box: 1 in 1,421.2
Keeping the Top 3 as the last 3 boxes:1 in 1,540

Had Max used the offer button at 10 box, he would've been GUARANTEED to receive the highest 10 box offer of all time as his 11 box offer was £28,000 and he found a blue in the intervening box (highest prior was Mystic Rich's £20,000 from March 2007)

Rebecca had an all-red 7 box, a 1 in 516.4 chance. Had she used the button at that stage, she would've been GUARANTEED the highest 7 box offer of all time as she was offered £40,000 at 8 box and found a blue in the intervening box (highest prior was Hugo and Dawn's £40,000 in February). The odds of removing the 5 remaining blues from 12 box which Rebecca did to achieve this is 1 in 792.

The odds of finding a maximum of £10 in the opening round as Harry did is 1 in 4,389.
