And I would've gone for it

Noel opens box 6 and reveals £15,000

Dan with box 18 has the £50,000

That is very unusual for the player to have the same amount in their box as they previously dealt at says Noel.

Nope, it's £15,000 in the box, another player got lucky at the last minute

Reasonable deal although safe. And he didn't even miss out on anything as I assumed he would have no dealt the 27.5K although that has been dealt before in that situation.

Cuffy made a decision that was right for him and he could have had £12,500 more but at least he didn't have the £50,000. Well done Cuffy!

Cuffy's big decision financially was at eight-box, not five, so he can't have any regrets as that eight-box decision worked out well even though he took the top amount out in the fifth round.

Selling the box for its value was only a fair result really, this wasn't a game where either side really deserved to win or lose.

Actually that bit was a lie!!lol you might of noticed but i used the previous games power 3 red numbers which did well so i used the other too to!!! a bit retentive i know but then u could see that in my face i guess!! it worked well!!

ummmmmm yes dave!! it is!!

Cheers mate, if i didnt have money worries i would have gone on but it meant too much to me!

Aw, what a nice chap. Enjoy the cash Cuffy! And good on you wanting to support your daughter; I've just finished my first year at uni, and I can tell you, it aint good for the old wallet, that's for sure!

Yep thats a really fair thing to say !!lol!!

ah cheers jonny thats appreciated mate (he says with his daughter looking over his shoulders!!!)

In the end, sometimes it's not about how much you win; it's more about how much you can do with the money you win and how much the money means to you, so I think that was a good decision in the end.

Good game; absolutely nothing wrong with taking £15,000; not only was it the median but it was also not far off the average. Only bad luck stopped him from getting the outright draw he deserved (leave one of the blue boxes to the end not the £50,000)

Nicely played, Cuffy! NOW will you reveal what it went on? (For some bizarre reason I thought you'd already played, hence why I asked...respecting confidentiality deeds etc

So glad cuffy won a good amount as he was so involved with other's games. He always gave good advice and brought a little humour. Well done.

Well done Cuffy. If you can force the banker to give you such a good offer at 5 box that it would take a huge gambler to no-deal it, then you've done a good job. I was half expecting the offer to be around £10k at 5 box which would have been a tough decisoin.

Cuffy, well done on the £15k! As others have said, it was great that you managed to get a respectable offer at 5-box, especially after knocking out the £100k in the round before.

I must admit I was surprised that you played on your 17th show! I thought you'd do more than that, especially as Noel had been having quite a bit of banter with you about what you said when you opened your boxes etc.

How did you feel about playing relatively early? When I was on the wings, I witnessed someone (Kath) play after just 14 shows! So when I started getting into the low-teens, I'd always start worrying that my time was up! My target was to get to 18 to be honest. As it happened, I did 29 in total! (Although I missed 3 due to illness.)

I could often tell who'd be playing when though - I mean they very rarely have 3 men in a row, so if 2 men had just played then it was unlikely a 3rd one would be next. However, that's not a concrete rule; they always kept us on our toes (such as the surprise of Kath playing after just 14!).

Congrats on the £15k, Cuffy! It really is an occasional thing for there to be a 'draw' between the player and Mr Banker, but as long as you are happy you enjoy!

Nice to see some of the really decent chaps and chappettes getting good money!

well i said in my 5th game i think - and into the microphone that "i like box 18!! 18 is my favourite number" i thought as this was a game set by a human that human nature might think i was nice and put a half decent amount in my favourite box!!! Then i was going to choose lis instead of marios and i probably would have if my daughter was with me (she was travelling down that day but they want to shock you sometimes!!!) but i had seen neighbours and good friends deliver big reds too often!!! and as i have said befor if i had no money worries i would have gone on but hey!! it has helped such a lot!! and soooooo many great life long friends!
