Excellent win to start the week and fingers crossed for one more massive win tomorrow in the final Santa Scrooge game

Enjoy every penny of the £68,555, Billy

Yes another nice win to start the new week :D

But the offer was poor but then again when its a 250k blue finish the banker can offer anything and knows they will take it!

I'd personally want around £85 - 90k up to deal.

The £68,555 offer was generous from the old man, as I was thinking he would offer around £50,000 given £10 is the remaining amount. Heck, it could've been £55,555.

Congrats to Billy! Enjoy every penny of that £68,555, and have a great time in Florida :D !

Where the hell did that one come from??? YIKES!

OK I can understand the offer going down when the £10,000 went as it was the only backup...but for Billy to gamble on the last box and keep the biggie still, it was complete justice served for Lauren not keeping it yesterday! :lol:

From September where nothing was going right...to now where nothing is going wrong! :shock: More please!!!

Only 3: £100k, £75k and today (although we've had a £29k and we would have had a £35k had the swap been taken last week).

It is good to see that a run of good luck has been found by the players at last - it makes up for the awful weeks we've had this year.

Put this one down to poor banker offers again. The £10k going should not have induced the offer going down, especially when the last offer was over £10k. £26k was too low too (something around £35-40k may have got him to deal).

I feared he would gamble at 2 box but I doubt we'll ever see the day where a £250k/blue finish is no dealt with a non-joke offer.

Oh, this is amazing! The show is the best it's been for well over a year i feel, suddenly the players can do no wrong. Again the banker dug his own grave by offering too low, especially once Billy was guaranteed a trip to Florida, which must have been worth a few thousand in its own right, so he was never going to go home with nothing.

Perfectly reasonable gambling too i feel, though what really surprised that that the banker never made any conidtional offers upon the next box being blue like he did with Stan, probably becuase Stan had telegraphed he was looking to deal, whereas Billy seemed to be more intent on going on. He'd proved he was enough of a gambler without having to no-deal the final offer due to the risks he took to get to that point, especially after the 10k had gone, one box was going to end the game. And the great thing was his wife knew he wanted to take a gamble or two and was happy to let him to it and didn't prevent him from playing his own game.

This is absolute payback for the crap deals and trainwrecks we had to put up with in the summer/early autumn. Oh and I hope Billy is back as a full-time fan, given that both his namesakes have sold blues for life-changing amounts will certainly help!! :D

Oh and the new guy looks like a legend, he reminds me of 75k Daniel, and now also the east wing (provided another man replaces Billy) will have a perfect alternating male-female pattern!

The newbies certainly have got picked at crucial times lately!!

Why did I stop watching this show? The last few games have been incredible! I'm starting to wonder if I should re-apply as Billy must be one of the luckiest names in the show's history now, well save for Laura...

Amazing show, couldn't believe that £250k was in play to the end and don't blame him for dealing at all, you can't risk it with a tenner as the other box. Also fun to see Noel's birthday finally referenced too, it's been years since it was last! Hope tomorrow's show is just as good, if that's physically possible after the last few!

I know what you mean - £118,555 won between the two Billys is awesome!

I've picked the right time to start watching a few for the first time in ages as well! Didn't see yesterday's and was annoyed to hear I'd missed a £100k win but today's game was just as good. Really thought he was going to Wakey it and win a tenner though... I'd have gone at three-box there I think.

We have a new Wakey Winter, folks! Except this one's needed to be triggered by low offers rather than insanely high ones.

If he'd gambled at £68,555 and not swapped I'd have been in absolute hysterics though - what result could have more irony than a complete Wakeyist game producing the biggest collapse in DoND history on the show airing on Noel's 60th birthday courtesy of a player who was anything but a Wakeyist on the wings but seemed from this text commentary alone to be heavily swayed by the host?!?

Still, it's great to see Endemol losing all this money!!!

Like it or not the show needed some Wakeyist games with good outcomes! I lost interest because it got to the stage where virtually every game was either someone settling for an easy £15k or having a game that never got going and winning a blue. There's no excitement in that, and looking at the stats it has continued throughout most of the year with nearly every week being towards the bottom of the money table.

So it's good to see that the show hasn't been "credit crunched" for good and there are still players willing to take a chance and not settle for easy target offers on decent boards.

By the way is this the best ever total win over 2 days excluding Laura's game?
