Cruel, so cruel that its unreal. I was really looking forward to Chris's game because he was a nice enough guy on the wings. The game was an utter trainwreck from start to finish, even the twist being lost as well as being offered the swap. Everything that could have gone wrong for Chris - went wrong! Lets hope for a better outcome tomorrow.

Whoever plays tomorrow MUST do better than today

Give the guy another go! I really liked him and he took his misfortune so well. Just when you though he couldn't get any more unlucky, he did (i.e taking the two highest blues after 8-box, then having £250 in his box having taken £50!)

I really don't know what to say about that, the difference between Chris' game and Nikki Tucker/Derek Brown is he actually had a dealabale offer for a significant sum and they didn't. I get the impression he was quite cautious so might have dealt £7,500 had it been the original offer (rather than having it raised) and also if the stats guys hadn't been there. I'm not being harsh on Daniel and Ed becuase I think they did well to get him the offer raised, and the later offers could have been excellent due to their presence had some of the reds stayed, but you can't legislate for luck like that. That said, I do think he had to avoid all three reds for a much-improved offer next time.

At least he didn't win nothing like Lee did, and took his misfortune really well. I guess after Derek/Nikki they now have to think up ways of livening up games that have crashed, and the bonus £997 one I thought was really good, just the way his luck went he didn't even get that.

Was it just me or were the ex-contstants there bunched up in groups based on time? They were almost all from love week ar thereabouts, or last summer, including the leader of the cautious advice, Les.......I'd glad that lot weren't wingers for this game as they'd remind every newbie following about it!

If there was a way, he would

That was simply dreadful!

The worst-ever 8-box, the first-ever all-blue 8-box...and then for the two largest blues to follow! Total bad luck!

Tomorrow's game will simply be better for the reason you can't really get much worse than this!

KB, you SERIOUSLY need to chill - your expectations have hit sky-high ever since Wilson started talking to you last year, earlier this year you said you'd get a grip...now ever since we started seeing "poor" games, your needs have rocketed sky-high yet again!

Just chill!

A totally unlucky game that was all over at 8-box. At least the inclusion of the twist at 5-box provided an interesting conclusion to what would have otherwise been a straight to the end blue win. But even that didn't manage to work out for Chris.

And we haven't!

KB, if you want a constant highlight reel of explosive mega wins, go watch old games. At least you'll never be disappointed.

Alright, I'm Sorry guys

I'm chilled enough to say that it's nothing to do with my expectations, I'll explain it elsewhere cause it's personal...

Just remember, it's only a game - more importantly, it wasn't yours

You're right, it isn't mine, it's his

we all decided to go as a group, mainly to meet up again as we missed each other so much when we all parted, think it was only a month later in deal world (longer in TV world)
They put us all together which was nice....we were the best group of dealers ever so had to be the centrepiece!

After going to see a film this afternoon about a sequence of numbers predicting impending doom, I come home to watch a gameshow where... the contestant picks a sequence of numbers that lead to his impending doom (sort of). Talk about a weird afternoon!

No words to describe that game, just a monumental trainwreck, admirably dealt with by Chris. And top marks to the producers for the end game twist which will have stopped some viewers from reaching for the remote, but it just seemed strangely inevitable that he wouldn't beat the banker. Can't have any worse luck tomorrow, surely!

The only enjoyable part of the game for me was seeing the past contestants particularly Mel, Alfonso and Daniel

Very bad luck but why on earth didn't Chris deal at £7,500, which was a good offer for the board. Ed and Daniel have been made to look rather foolish.

Ahhh thank you Collydolly xx

Talking of Daniel, I noticed he hasn't spent any of his winnings on buying a better shaver.

Help,I missed this one anyone know if it's being aired again,pls don't ask why I'm blaming technological equipment! I don't want to gloat about Chris's game but every game is fascinasting in it's own way. Thanks .Stephen.

Should be on More4 around midnight, if not soon after midnight...

THE CHANT NEVER INFLUENCED ANYTHING

Ha ha ha. Nice one David. I was just going to write the same thing. I remember that I was thoroughly hungover that day aswell. I looked very rough, ha ha ha.

Shame what happened to Chris, but what I do like to see is players taking it on the chin. I hate to see people cry over money. He took a really bad run of look and managed to come across as the nice guy that he was. We spoke to him and his girlfriend later than night and they really did take it well. I asked him if it was still worth it for the experience he had and although it hit him financially (self-employed, hence no holiday pay), he agreed it was worth doing and was a bit down, but he took it as well as you could expect.

Unlucky Chris mate. Deserved better really.


I didn't feel foolish or guilty for giving the advice I gave. What I said was true, a good round was (ALMOST) inevitable. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be.

As for the offer at 11 box, I said it was a deal-able offer because I think if you ever creep above 50% mean at 11 box stage, it is fairly generous, particularly because of the distribution being so bad aswell. I did feel that a good round was very likely. I worked it out to be about 1in3 for all blue round and 1in166 for all red. I felt that there was a lot of benefit to be had from carrying on if the probability spat out a more orthodox looking round. As it happens, you can work out the odds as much as you want, but the odds are just an indication, not a guarantee.
