£18,000 was a very close call for me and it knocked me back a bit as I didn't expect it but it was a stable board so I would have gone for it and got £75,000.
£36,000 would have been an instant no-deal as £10,000 was the minimum win at that point.

Kerry - If you get to 2-box in this game then assume the offer is £6,000

Yes, we'd all take that gamble. But I doubt many of us would have dealt at £900.

So for me: deal for £6,000.

All the way to £15,000, regardless of what the Banker would throw at me! :D

The only way you could not win £6,000 today was if you were reckless or cowardly. Ironically cowardice as well as recklessness was a route to a box win today while common sense would have led to a deal for less, which just shows how ridiculous this game was.

pretty much agree - would probably deal 6K as 9K isn't a massive loss and 15K is substantial but not life changing.

You are. He says he'd take the gamble if he got to that stage (as we all would), but he'd have never been offered it.

Most of us don't coinflip* for £6,000 :)

yes yes, you're getting slightly better than 50/50, but it's still £6,000 or comparitively nothing

A £7,000 offer at 2-box would have got me to deal. So all the way to £15,000

Noel: £15,000 was blah, £25,000 was saying "go for it", so all the way to £100,000 :D

must be nice to be able to dismiss £15,000 as "blah" :D

I can't fault anyone for no-dealing this offer though. Depending on mood I may even no deal it myself (though I'd hope my sensible side would intervene!). The average at the time was £28,000, and even the disaster round of blue/5k would have resulted in a thousand or so offer.
