Kim's game today.

Noel is going to do an impression, and he puts his feet up on the pound table! He says last week 4 players put him on edge and made brave decisions that went their way, but all that changed on Friday.

Kim has box 4 today.

Kim is a customer service advisor and tells a little about her job and how she is now in the new connections dept. for a gas/electricity company. We get to see a picture of Kim with her brother who is in the audience for support today, we also see a picture of her mum and dad.

Kim says she doesn't have a target, but that worries her a little.

Here we go....

Round 1

12 - £3,000 Mark

2 - £250 Roopa

5 - £10,000 Barbara

18 - £1,000 Brian

Noel thinks the Banker will be twitching a little now.

7 - £5,000 Neide


Banker time

That is fantastic and is 80% of the Banker's perfect opening round says Noel. The Banker says his feet are off the table now and it is likely that Kim will get an offer of £15,000 in her game now.

Banker's offer:

£10,000

Round One Stats

Mean: £32,142.15
Median: £500
Absolute Balance: -7
Significant Balance: 11/17, 0
Fair Deal: £11,702.33
Volatility: 0.84

A very interesting opening round...

OMG says Kim, and she says that she is not good at judging offers to the power of the board.

Kim says

NO DEAL

Round 2

1 - £75,000 Dan

9 - £500 Steve

Noel asks if Kim has prepared her break link, and Kim says she has and is also a great believer in destiny...

We're back
Last box before the Banker

Noel tells us that Kim likes to do something in the back of a van! She likes to play poker in the back of a van with her boyfriend, and explains that the van hardly works and so they use it to play poker in

15 - £250,000 Brad


Banker time

Round Two Stats

Mean: £15,779.76
Median: £75 (Lowest it can be at this stage!)
Absolute Balance: -25
Significant Balance: 3/7, -5
Fair Deal: £5,548.04
Volatility: 0.83

And this is why taking out too many low reds can be a bad thing...

That was a horrible round says Noel. The Banker says Kim was very unlucky there, and says that like Kim he believes in Karma, and was taught about it at a garage when he took his car in for repair by a KARMechanic

Banker's offer:

£1,000

Kim says

NO DEAL

Round 3

13 - 10p Michael

14 - £20,000 Jenny

Please not another of these games says Noel

6 - £1 Stacie


Banker time

The Banker says that Kim is wonderful and wishes he was 60 years younger and had a van

Banker's offer:

£6,000

Round Three Stats

Mean: £18,265.05
Median: £100
Absolute Balance: -13
Significant Balance: 5/11, -3
Fair Deal: £6,695.03
Volatility: 0.99

A 7/4 split is never good, but at least it's slightly better than at 14-box...

Kim says that is a lot of money, but there are still massive sums of money on the board, and her brother also pointed out that they live at number 4 and she has box 4.

Kim says

NO DEAL

A properly bizarre start. The Banker calling the Alex opening 'the perfect opening round' is actually fitting inasmuch as it creates big decisions right away, with the big money intact and danger immediately present. We're seeing that here.

Round 4

10 - £100,000 Andrew

That really is unlucky says Noel

16 - £750 Jessica

Noel calls a break while he has a little chat with Kim...

We're back
Last box before the Banker

11 - £5 Huddy

Banker time

This is still an awkward board says Noel.

Banker's offer:

£4,750

Kim goes to her brother for advice. Kim says that the money would help her a lot and help her get to uni.

Kim says

NO DEAL
