Great game, great character!

He'll be well pleased, he coulddn't get over winning 'thirty--one--thousand--pounds!'


Well done!

Well done Geraint, it was too big a risk for it all to go wrong.

One of the best games for a good while

Exactly - it definitely wasn't a No Decision. It was definitely a win!

We're now really starting to finally enjoy some good wins...let's hope the good offers are now here to stay!

Strong boards + smart players + sensible offers = big-money Deals. We definitely, definitely got all three of those today!

But why call it a win when he could've had £19,000 more?

If you want, I'll give it a Moderate win instead

Moderate Win does sound about right. It wasn't an OPW (which I think is a necessary condition for an Epic Win, usually - I'd still call Lance's an Epic Win which proves it's not always necessary) but sure as heck wasn't a defeat in any meaningful way. And Geraint knew it.

Decision making win, hindsight moderate fail. Box 23 needs to read the board, not the proveout.

Lewis246 EPIC WIN

Lewis246 FTW!

It doesn't matter at all that Geraint missed out on an extra £19,000.

It doesn't matter that the Banker was more concerned about winning the game than Geraint was.

All that matters that a great person won a ton o' money!

Congrats to Geraint, and enjoy £31,000 !

Oh, ha-di-ha-di-ha!

At the end of the day, it's was a moderate win done by a great character and one I will be remembering for a while

well played.really enjoyed todays game.at last we have a decent win.Geraint enjoy spending the dosh!

Loved that game one of my favourites when I was there. Brilliant player, really great guy and THIRTY ONE THOUSAND POUNDS I was delighted to have the 250,000 at the right time. Well done Geraint love ya Ellen xx

Great game today!

If that's right then we've had more than we should have already as I can think of at least three such games...(Brenda, Stella and Daniel)

KP calculated it...
Wow, since I only started watching dond I don't know all tat you have a good memory

It's not 1 in 1254. Mister Al worked all the odds out in the days of the Bother's Bar commentaries and at 8 box, there are 319770 possible combinations. If you have the power 5 intact, then there are 680 combinations for the other 3 boxes, so the odds are 680/319770 or 1 in 470.25.

Given today was show 888, we would have expected it to have happened nearly twice.

Great game today. A 5 figure opening offer coupled with the lack of a trainwreck round meant the offers kept respectable and the deal was fine with me.

I can't remember if it was me who miscalculated or not but I think it was. Well explained Simon.

The offers after a £11k opener with no bad round could only go one way, although they cranked up slowly enough to keep the game alive for a long time. Good decisions all round, and a bit of a 2006 throwback with the offers to be honest.

I'm so happy for Geraint- I'm gna c him nxt wk for the first time since recording- I miss everyone so much!!!!

As StatsMan said, the correct odds are 1 in 470.25. But it's still happened more times than we might have expected -- particularly since you also missed Colleen off your list.
