Has anyone noticed that the history (especially recent history) of the box number on the table have any influence on the Banker's offers?
My observations based on a limited number of games say yes.
Looking back at Laura's game, if her box wasn't #6, which had a brutal past, which brought two 1p winners, there is a chance that her offer would have been near £90,000 on a £3,000/£250,000 final two.
That said, she did have an unstable board which was made more unstable by the loss of the £50,000.
In £25k Peter's game, where he had Box #13 on the table, his final five were the £1, £50, £100, £1,000 and the £250,000, and his offer was £25,000, despite taking out the safety net of £35,000 and another red in that round, and the previous offer being £10,000.
My guess is that the last person who had #13 prior to Peter was £100k Gaz, when he took the box to win the £100,000 when he basically had a virtual one box game for most of his game, and Peter's game became a one box game after the £35,000 went.
Normally, with the loss of that safety net, the Banker's offer would have normally stuck or likely went down, but because of the recent history of #13 on the table at the time, the Banker decided to increase his offer way up. Had it been just about any other number (especially #6 and #14 at the time), the offer would have very likely went down.
Anyone else notice the influence of the box number on the Banker's offers?
