Hi all, it is Andrew here. Pretty mental seeing what people have to say me and my show ... I must admit I thought I came across as a bit of a dick and cocky, but that what just the nerves. Im not that bad really.

Playing the game has been one of the best things I have ever done, got to meet some great people too.

Many people are saying I should have went on, but at the end of the day how do you turn down £15,000 when your board was the way it was? If i had taken out the 35 or 50 and the penny was still there, my offer would probably be less than 15,000 anyway. It was easy turning down the 17,500 because the 250,000 was there and I had awesome back up, they have edited loads from the show, because after that I broke down in tears realising i had just lost 7,500, not a nice feeling.

Yes I was gutted about not getting 42,000, but I was never to know that I would be left with those two boxes.

As for the holiday, gutted he ripped that up. I probably annoyed people with teh holiday, but hey it was a free holiday and I really wanted it, you can't blame me for trying.

Anyway that is a little bit from me. I dont want people to think I am a prick, at the end of the day I am a real person and do have feelings.

Thanks for watching

Andrew


I personally didn't enjoy the show but it was more down to the show getting carried away with itself. At times, you were slightly irritating during the game, I won't lie but you seemed like a decent bloke all the same and I was more annoyed at the over-reliance on the producer's part on the holiday. I personally would have went the whole way because I think those holidays and twists are all part of the Banker trying to make it seem like he isn't worried at how the board is turning out but I understand that the pressure in the crazy chair would be intimidating. Anyway enjoy £15,000.

Cheers,

Kev

Did you feel at all tempted to turn down the £15,000 because you were chasing the £17,500? Horrible post-game luck, but you knew it was a 10% chance that you had no control over whatsoever. It's still a decent result - £15,000 is in the gap between the long-run mean and median win (the former is higher, about £16k I think, because it's skewed by Power 5 wins in general and £250k wins in particular - whereas the median win is £12k or £13k, unless I'm mistaken.)

Interesting that they edited out the sort of footage you'd think the producers would embrace, and with some contestants clearly do...

Oh, and I reckon that if you'd left any £50k/blue finish, you'd have had the Banker's Gamble. Would you have accepted it on that finish?


well in the show I was going to go one, but I couldn't turn down that money at 5 box! I learnt from Andre not to chase money, seen too many people chase! and I was going to decline the offer no matter what at the 3rd offer! I know it went up, it was a bonus, but I had too good of a board to continue.
If I was offered the bankers gamble I would have bottled it, too risky!

You say you were never going to Deal at the third offer - was this just because of the board or because you felt you had to go on to at least 8-box? If the latter, what made you think that?

It was a very promising board, you weren't likely to get much less than £10k if you played on because you had the middle reds piled up at that point, but the £250k/£50k gap would have made me at least stop and think. Hard board to read, even for a mathematical player, and very easy to push too far on it.
