Let's replay!

** REPLAY **

Please let it be better...


13 - £250,000! And now it's gone for good

15 - £32,101.23!! Disgusting then the replay works against you, but we're far from out here! Call or box(es)?

Tilt time. 11, 7, 9.

Keep the reds, keep the reds, keep the reds...


11 - 1p! RIGHT!

7 - £100! Pull another one here, come on...

9 -

THAT is the momentum I played to salvage.

Get that man back on the line.

Alright, hello Banker!

£1
£500
£12,343.21
£13,370
£39,385.56

Box 23:

TRIPLE
DOUBLE
+£20,000
HALF
QUARTER
NOTHING

Powerups:

• 23 SPLIT

Third offer at 5-box, what do you want to leave the game now and give Box 22 back to the Banker?

Now you KNOW I'm thinking about weird numbers here...

...here we go.

BID 3: C$13,370 + 13,370 Swedish krona on 23

Which, as it stands when I checked, is £7,673.08 + £1,170.09 on 23.

The Banker thought you might craft something there that had an EV that snuck into 5 figures, maybe not quite so high though. He's trying to make a conscious decision whether there's enough risk premium there for an offer that he values over £11,200... and he decided there isn't. It's a NO DEAL!

On we go...

Marginal overbids at 5-box that are declared as such feel like a sign that you're doing something at least approximately right.

Box 5 and then another go.

Well Box 5 will tell us whether that overbid was indeed the right thing to pitch at that stage...

Box 23:

Powerups:

• 23 SPLIT

What's the next bid?

Well, it's safety I guess.

BID 4: As Bid 3, but replace +£20,000 with THRUST on 23

The Banker obviously likes that a lot better because the difference between THRUST and +£20,000 is around £12k. He's feeling pumped just to see this out a little further, feeling much the same as he did at the last offer with the lost of your largest backup - NO DEAL.

The next box...

...is 3.

... and hopefully is blue, and then you could really push that bid up...

How much was the loss of the pound for you? And what sort of agreement do you think you could make with the Banker here?

Well we lost the pound from the offers a while ago now.

So weird to play this because he has to play defensive against the prospect of the top box having a 23 Split on it, that's worth several grand in expected value to me there... it feels like £13,370 is the obvious benchmark he's eyeing up but I'm definitely wanting a complex offer because that's a horrible Box 23 decision with that menu.

OK, here we go.

BID 5: C$13,370 + C$13,370 on 23 with +£20,000 replaced by HUGE DOWNSHIFT

The Banker would quite happily let you play on here, but he's had enough fun with you now and he likes that enough to stop you playing on for over £39k to split a small portion of it onto 23 - it's a DEAL!

DEAL: C$13,370 + C$13,370 on 23 with +£20,000 replaced by HUGE DOWNSHIFT

We'll see how you fare on that later, but for now let's mop up, last box!

It's 1, but you knew that!

I pretty much did tbh!

1 - £39,385.56!! He tortured himself into paying out way more than he needed to, excellent work!

He would've accepted no more than £5,500 flat on that £500/£12,343.21 finish...

Box 22? That's actually £12,343.21 so you'd likely have swapped for the £500 in Box 17 instead if the Banker had let you get that far!

Box 23 time...
