Billy's game today.

Noel says we're still talking about Esher's game yesterday. He talks about how she had huge self-belief, but it ended up costing her a lot of money. He says Esher is now the holder of the 'How Wrong Can You Get This Game' trophy.

Billy has Box 16 today.

Billy Crowder is from Essex, and is a school sports coach. He originally wanted to be a professional footballer, but quit that when he severely hurt his arm during a match. He has a photo of his family, and his girlfriend is in the audience for support.

Here we go...

Round 1

Billy says he is getting rid of all the 2s to start with.

Box 22 with Emma - £15,000

Box 21 with Richie - £250,000

Incredible, says Noel. You know what you gotta find now, he says. Billy changes his system.

Box 17 with Betty - 10p

Nearly the perfect reply, says Noel.

Box 9 with newbie Jo - £3,000

Billy calls Carrie 'Cassie' by mistake!

Box 6 with Carrie - £5,000

Banker time...

The Banker is feeling elated after Esher's game! He thinks Billy could be just as big a challenge.

Banker's offer:

£4,500

Billy says he could do a lot with £4,500.

Billy says:

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

Why does Noel persist in saying taking out the 1p after taking out the quarter of a millioun somehow balances the board. Surely it doesnt.

We're back...

Round 2

Noel says Billy spent the break talking about what he'd do with his winnings.

Box 14 with Dean - 1p

Box 10 with Jean - £100

Box 4 with Sam - £35,000

Banker time...

That was a shame, says Noel.

Banker's offer:

£6,969

Billy says that's a lot of money. He says he has a few debts, but Noel warns him against revealing the precise amount.

Billy says:

NO DEAL

Round 3

Box 5 with Win - £50,000

Oh no, says Noel.

Box 15 with Caerwyn - £5

Noel calls a break...

We're back...

Final box before the Banker...

Box 7 with Mahmoud - £75,000

Banker time...

Taking out big money... looks like it going to be another one of those games...

Now you're down to just one of the life changers, says Noel. The Banker says that was a huge final box.

Banker's offer:

£1,000

All blue round is 21% chance here.

Richie says there are a lot of blues for Billy to target.

Billy says:

NO DEAL

Round 4

Noel says there is still an opportunity for Billy to get good money from the game.

Box 8 with Laura - £1,000

Box 11 with Smithy - £1

Box 19 with Sammy - £10

Banker time...

Billy has been hit hard by losing big money; Noel says he might need to give Billy a bit of coaching. The Banker says Billy is a game of big decisions, and bad luck is hard to take. He says he's going to give Billy a difficult decision now.

Banker's offer:

£8,000

That is a very clever offer, says Billy. Noel tells Billy to play what he sees; Billy says he sees more blues than reds. Noel says the clever player would interpret that as meaning there's a blue in the box. Billy's girlfriend gets emotional, and says it would be really daring for Billy to play on here. Billy says, if he hits the £100,000, he won't see £8,000 again unless he goes all the way. Caerwyn says the tide might have turned. Billy says he's had a blue in every game except Josh's.

The Banker says it might help Billy to know what the next offer will be if he has an all-blue round.

Noel calls a break before we find out...

I reckon the offer would simply be double if he achieved the 18% all blue round. Probably £14,000 to get him as cheap as possible without the offer being insulting.

He shouldn't be basing his decison on what he had in previous games, but at least he was only worried about removing the £100,000 (37.5%), rather than all three reds (1.7%).
