Ed = leg end.

They put the show on today in the pub he djs at on a Saturday. Shame I couldn't be there

looking at that dictionaty thing aren't you using mally's logic?

But that doesn't affect what Ed has in his box the next day. He had exactly the same chance of having £100,000 as he did as having the £20,000 he had.

Anyway, great game Ed. Funny to watch, and you beat the banker. Well done on the £33,000.

Well done enjoyed spending the money.

Well, this is turning out to be a memorable week!! Scorcher of a show today, one of my favourites this month so far, to start off with the lowest ever opening offer (and I think the second lowest offer *ever*, the only lower one I can think of is Igor's 2p!) of 18p, and then take out seven blues in a row and ending up getting a 33 grand OPW...that is how to play the game! It sucks so badly when a really fantastic contestant has a bad game, so it was really, really cool to see Ed totally beat him - well done on that £33,000.62, Ed, won't be the same without you on the show!

I also like Steff already!

I really liked Ed. Chirpy bloke, a good laugh and a good sport. Much to my surprise I didn't find him annoying.

His ability to anaylse and play the board mean't he wasn't going to take an insulting offer and the banker knew this. So his offers towards the end were pitched at a very tempting level and he worked out when to get out at just the right time.

I would have gone on based on the fact that there was a good chance of coming out with something decent no matter what happened. And it might have been £100K.

Overall an entertaining show, decent guy, decent win. Nice one Ed.

Fantastic!

Ed was a good stats man and he had a great sense of humour. I really liked him on the wings and during his game. The Ed/Pottsy affair was classic. Really glad he beat the Banker! Welldone Ed, enjoy £33,000.62.

What a great game with a big character., Really enjoyed that, Ed enjoy Brenda.

I would have dealt there aswell, didn't ed have box 18 yesterday aswell with the 100k, so i thought it would be unlikely it would be in box 18 again, even though it has happened, but great game.

WHAT. A. LEGEND. The game he truly deserved!

He got just about the perfect balance between confidence and cockiness, and the banker was right to give him such good offers - I think the third and fourth offers would have had many players scampering for the door, but he knew that 5-box is more often than not the optimum time for a calculated player to go, and seeing him take all those blues out was fabulous!

I think 18p is actually the thrid lowest offer ever, I think Rachel got offered 12p on Xmas Day"!

And anyone know what wing-wangs are?

But I don't know where the banker thought that taking out the 100k at 5-box was a 62% chnace - it doesn't take a genius to work out 3 in 5 is 60%.....

Congrats for a fantastic game Ed!

Great to see Ed who has given such good advice over the weeks beat the Banker in style! After the way it started I thought it was going to be joke offers all the way, but luckily the Banker saw sense and it was one of the best contests we've seen. So many of the great advice givers in the past have had bad games - Geordie, Robin, Scottish John etc - so it's good to see one of these living up to expectations!

(Oh and you're not quite right Billy, the opening offer takes third place in the lowest ever offers behind Christmas Rachel's 12p second offer along with Igor's!)

THAT WAS AWESOME!! Ed was a complete legend and to make it better..he's from Suffolk. Hurrah!!

A brilliant game, probably the best this month! WELL DONE!!!!!!

I know, he got 2p too much there... just think, that could have been the difference between a deal and a no deal

Great game and great guy. Was looking forward to his battle with the Banker especially after what he's said about him and the way he can read the board no doubt worried the Banker. Even losing the £250k hardly damaged the game and then the run of 7 blues, I was so willing for him to get the 8th. But well done Ed on the perfect game and beating the Banker.

Great game from what I've read. Good final 5 and offer. Can't say what I would have done TBH.


EDIT, I'd have probably won 20K too, I have often said I'd go on with 4 good reds on the board like in Pennie's/Paul S's boards.


Aaargh And I almost guessed the rock today but changed my mind to 3K at the last minute.

Really entertaining show today, enjoy spending your £33,000.62, Ed! I was about to say Rachel's 12p was the lowest opening offer, but I see Power5's beat me to it!

My first instinct at hearing the offer was to actually carry on, given I had a stable block of reds and £750 as the lowest blue, but now I'm really not sure what I'd have done. If I'd turned the offer down, I wouldn't have been disappointed at £20k as a consolation prize, though.

I liked the pence in the offers giving the percentage of taking out the top amount, but where does he get 62% from for taking out the £100k at round-of-5? You have 3 chances to hit it with 5 boxes left, that's 60% surely, or am I missing something here?

EDIT: Ah, I see that's already been spotted!

Banker plays contestant at own game. Makes mistake. Contestant wins.

Love it.

Mr Banker, you're only good at playing bad - you can't play a proper game

Would I have gone earlier? Likely but not certain - stable £100k boards are the type to frequently drive me on more than most, but I'm just not convinced the upside potential above and beyond those offers was that great and I suspect I'd have gone at eight-box. That said, his risks were calculated, as was his decision to take no more risks, and an OPW is entirely fitting especially given the miscalculation.

Enjoy the £33,000.60, and especially enjoy the extra 2p

Blimey, has Wakey stolen greeny's password?

Difficult to add to what's already been said. Great character who knew when and when not to push his luck and got out at the right time. A very fine feel-good game.

Woohoo, local lad done good! Well done, Ed.

I do believe rachels first offer was £12 and her second offer was 12p!
