My fault for praising the lack of timidity of the last two players!

An inexcusable deal with the top two in play and reasonable back up.

Oh a big damage but the biggie is still there...

Well this is interesting, the three safety nets have gone.

Banker's Gamble? I would...

Noel says there's still a cloud of doubt there as she still has £250k on the board, and he doesn't know where the banker would've gone now

Banker's offer would've been:

£16,500

Board

£10
£500
£1,000
£3,000

£250,000

Offer should go down, I'd offer £13k..

Offer: £16,500
Mean: £50,902.00
Offer (%) 32.42%
Fair Deal: £14,977.75
Offer (% Fair Deal) 110.16%

A reversion to the eleven-box offer makes a lot of sense here. I wouldn't want to Deal here but I likely still would.

Oh no!!

Noel says Martyne could still have ed the banker

Banker says if she keeps £250k in-play the offer would've been £80,000

6 - Julie - £10

"NO NO NO" says Noel

22 - Jas - £3,000

"NO NO one shot left" says Noel

11 - David - £500

Banker time with £1,000 and £250,000 remaining

Oh dear... Should have gone on. Yesterday she had the one above that on the board, £100k.

Board



£1,000
£250,000

Offer: £80,000
Mean: £125,500.00
Offer (%) 63.75%
Fair Deal: £70,655.69
Offer (% Fair Deal) 113.23%

OK if the Banker would have guaranteed me £80k at two-box I'd have chased that.

And got it. At risk of sounding like the annoying remainder of the forum I'm slightly glad about that. I'm very happy to see well-judged Deals lead to OPWs, but that wasn't one.

And now were going for a swap, like ysterday...

Deja vu?

oh no, the swap

Martyne says she'd have said DEAL there. Noel said he believed her when she said she could be the 2nd £250ker. Noel says she'd have got the swap, and she says she'd have said SWAP as 5 is her lucky number and she wrote it on her contestant application form (watch the cries of "FIX!!!" if £250k's in box 5 now )

Noel swaps her box 1 for box 5

Martyne has £1,000 in her new box 5.

yay, she beat the banker

Wow! She swapped away the biggie!

Her original box 1... now with Claire has £250,000 and that completes the game.

Noel says how gutted Martyne would've been if she'd played on and swapped it away!!

(But didn't she say she'd have dealt at £80k!! )

80k is a lot higher than we would have seen but I agree with KP - she could do with falling slightly flat on her face after that deal.

She bought it to the table and never wanted it. I just wish she'd sold it at the last moment before the swap was on...
