The best thing about that was Harvey - he's fast becoming the pick of the wings for me!

Bit of an unspectacular game but I guess they all can't hit the heady heights like Betty's did but at least she got something decent out of it and avoided disaster, which was looking likely at one point. The deal could easily have gone either way with two large and three very small numbers left, there's a strong argument for both courses of action there. But I think you'd have to have been willing to gamble on a red/blue finish if you turned down the 10k, I couldn't see the last offer going beyong 15k unless you took out all three of the blues.

For once a deal was completely the right decision (well if you ignore the second offer...) ;-)

A decent show with a good player and a reasonable result. I thought the £10,000 offer was a generous offer and was worth considering. I was expecting an offer of around £7,000 myself.

As for the Harvey prediction thing it did kind of confuse me at first. As I was watching the show on VOD I did rewind back to that point just to double check what was written. Thinking about it now, I guess it was just a mind game against the Banker. But was it just me or does anyone else think that they didn't actually cut the camera feed to Banker and he actually saw what was written? Not that it really mattered if he did see it.

Good game today, I really thought she was destined for an all-blue finish when she had 8 blues at the halfway stage, but she recovered well, and that almost felt like an OPW even though it was a TPW. £10,000 was a decent result given the instability of the board, and I'm glad the courage is starting to return (I imagine Hayley may have dealt the £1,500 or even the £5,000 before that). I was convinced at one point the £50,000 had come to the table again, but it turned out fine.

Well done Sheron!

Decent result but that was slightly poor banker play and only one decision to make.

4 entertaining shows banter-wise this week so far that I've seen (excluding yesterday's which I haven't).

Today's 5-box board was the classic one that dealing was the right decision UNLESS you are prepared to gamble at 2 box on a red/blue finish. If you are prepared to gamble at 2 box, then no-dealing was probably the right thing to do. If not, why gamble a 10% chance of mega money against 30% chance of disaster (with a 60% chance of a max of £5k extra)

That was another good game. I really liked Sheron, she'd been a favourite of mine for a while and she came across really well in that game so i'm glad she got a nice chunky sum of money.

As for the prediction, well i laughed a bit when they revealed it but I dont think it should be a lasting thing, although Harvey is turning into an awesome character.
