The banker says he won't risk taking the mickey out of Lee!

Banker's offer:

£16,000

A small increase after hitting the £100k is good but there's at least another round or two left in the game

Lee asks Craig again, who says he'd be devastated if Lee went on and hit the £250k, so it's up to Lee really. Michael says he thinks the banker is showing respect for Lee. Lee asks his girlfriend who is unsure. The banker phones back and says if Lee goes on and has an all-blue round, the offer would be about £26,000, and he talks about Mary's game yesterday.

Lee says

NO DEAL

It's about 1 in 2,232,232,135, or 30,517,578,125/68,122,318,582,951,682,301 if you want an exact fraction.

Mind you, the probability of such an event happening once in over 1300 games is a lot larger.

Round 4

Noel wonders if Lee will regret that.

21 - Liam - £35,000

17 - Fran - £5,000

Noel says Lee will tell us about his system after the break...

Need to hit a blue now, hopefully the fiver

Is £14,500 going to be offered to every player who is not married but is in a long-term relationship?

£26,000 as a reward for an all-blue isn't great here, and I would not have thought any less of Lee if he had taken that 11-box offer.

We're back

Last box before the Banker

Lee talks about his system and how he started with box 1, and the numbers of the following boxes depended on whether he revealed a red or a blue. Noel asks if alcohol was involved in the invention of the system!

20 - Natalie - £10

Banker time

Now it's looking quite even

The banker promises to respect Lee's courage now, and Noel tells the banker to imagine he's in the boxing ring with Lee!

Banker's offer:

£17,250

£17,250 is a No Deal from me

Lee asks Cookie, who says he's torn by that offer. He asks his girlfriend, who says there are only 2 above the offer and it's a nice offer.

Lee says

DEAL

Hmm, insufficient increase for my liking. If I was still in play I'd feel I had no choice but to play on here, as taking this would only make me feel I should've gone at 11-box...

Another 8-Box dealer, I thought he would go for it

Round 5 (proveout)

Noel says he wonders whether Lee's gone early or whether he's done a Mary.

16 - Kelly - £3,000

11 - Dave - £250,000

14 - Michael - £15,000

Banker time

There goes the biggie, I got that bit wrong!

Noel says it would've been all or nothing.

Banker's offer would've been:

£8,000

Round 6 (proveout)

Lee says he'd have dealt there. The banker phones back and says that was very honest of Lee, and he's thinking of testing how convinced Lee is that he has a red on the table. He says that if Lee has an all-blue round now, he'll guarantee the Banker's Gamble will be offered.

13 - Clive - £250

Noel says this is fascinating as we don't know what we want to see in these boxes!!

4 - newbie Debs - £50

6 - Josephine - £75,000

Banker time with £5 and £100 remaining

Lee says he's relieved at that!

Banker's offer would've been:

£25

And he got away from the big decision at the last minute!
