BANKER'S OFFER

£13,000

Sheryl says DEAL

Second power five winner in a row denied

There's no way she's brave enough for 23.

I'd have expected an offer of £12,000 here, so I'd be gone too.

Nice recovery, even if the 50 large is in her box.

Box 4 - £50,000
Box 19 - Sayed - £10

Box 23 - NO DEAL

Contents - NOTHING

A good game. She had bad luck. She was incredibly brave at 5 box. And very unlucky having 50k in her box. She won a nice amount of money.So well done Sheryl. For having a good game

Ironically enough, Sheryl probably would've been worse off if she had the offer button, as she probably would've taken a four figure extra offer in Round 6. I'm glad the Banker paid for making poor offers for a change, and even though she missed on £50,000, Sheryl seems happy enough with what she did win.

The only bad news about today's game is that it officially made September the first month this year NOT to have a Power 5 win. In fact, the top win this month was just £18,000.

That was a game where expectations were deflated from start to very nearly finish - not least by the poor offers. Banker got himself out of the hole just in time, but that could easily have been one of the Banker's cheapest purchases of a Power 5, and instead it's a perfectly creditable five-figure win.

Unfortunate result from a reasonable deal. Hopefully he won't have too many regrets.

I don't think the Banker will regret lowballing the 5 box offer too much, especially as he still saved himself £37,000. As far Sheryl is concerned, however, she may still have quite a few regrets.

Oh, no! Just £18,000? How will they stay alive this Winter?

Think this offer button could be a good gimmick to add to the show as it could persuade a cautious player to think of going on an extra round. As I havent seen last couple of shows could someone explain if banker has to give a monetary offer or could he throw a box swap offer in when the offer button is activated.

Given the Banker never made SWAP offers in situations with guaranteed extra offers in the past (though he has made a few JOKE offers), I'm pretty sure the offer has to be genuine. Besides, the last time the Banker made a SWAP offer in lieu of a serious financial offer (i.e. NOT the 1st or 2nd offer) was in Mev's game all the way back in November 2012.

Not a bad game today, Kudos to Sheryl for playing on at 5-box Pity about the £50k in her box though

At least it wasn't anywhere NEAR as bad the last time September 30 fell on a Tuesday cough..Meena..cough

But September 2014 really was a disappointing month with no one winning more than £18,000 and not many games of interest, i was really hoping that the run of great games in August would continue into September and break the September curse, but sadly not

Oh well, now we're in October and hopefully things will start to pick up again soon!
