The Banker says this is the last chance you're going to get of leaving here with mega money, and that this isn't going to be a six-figure game for you tonight...

BANKER'S OFFER

£89,000

There was a time when I'd class anyone dealing at this stage as a Class A coward on the level Richard from May 2008.

However, like Richard I now work as a cleaner, so I understand how much a chunky sum of money means for someone on limited income.

With the 2 biggies being so exposed and there still being 5 low blues on the board, some people are still going to think I'm crackers but I will gladly DEAL this offer.

16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 2, 4 and 9 would've been next.

1 and 7 & 3 and 5 would've been the shifts.

NO DEAL to Box 23 and Option 5

Option 3 for the Bonus Box.

I'd also have dealt that on the two-box game but I genuinely thought you wouldn't. Although I also knew you'd genuinely think about it!

It was the perfect situation for an 11-box Deal to be honest. A Deal happens when the Banker is scared enough to make an offer that the player is then scared enough to take, so both sides have to have reason to be scared of the board. I think that board gave both sides VERY good reason to be scared!

It's a DEAL for £89,000! You've also a Bonus Box coming up which we'll deal with at the end, let's play this out for you...


16 - £14,000...

14 - 10p would've been perfect

12 - £777,777! A one-box game at 8-box!

Shift #10: 95p drops to 33p. We'd have lived with that!

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£15,000 + £55,000 ON BOX 23

33p
£1
£9
£10
£5,000
£15,000
£100,000
£1,000,000

This is going to go down as one of the most compelling proveouts we've ever seen on this forum.

Round 5...


10 - £9...

8 - 33p! Oh my...

6 -

I don't think I've ever felt such a need for spoiler boxes in a proveout but boy does this deserve one...


2 -

4 -

9 -

Definitely would NOT have taken the shift with £100k guaranteed.

So with THAT finish, your offers would've been...

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£400,000

OR

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£625,000 & NO UPSIDE BOX 23

Final thing I need to ask you, would you have swapped to bring Box 19 to the table if you were still playing?

Yes, I would've swapped.

5 would've gone away, 19 would've come to the table...

You wanted a mega money game, and you are absolutey going to leave here with a life changing sum of money... but could you have been our first millionaire?!


Box 19...

A money menu with £89,000 on it looks like this...

DOUBLE (£178,000)
+£20,000 (£109,000)
MONEY BACK (£89,000)
HALF (£44,500)
FLOOR (£17,800)

... and Option 5...

Now time for the Bonus Box...

DOUBLE (£178,000)
+50% (£133,500)
+25% (£111,250)
+10% (£97,900)
MONEY BACK (£89,000)

Now he wanted to stop you leaving here with six figures... Did he get his wish?


Option 3...

Slightly disappointed about missing out on 100k from a 5 box deal, but I'm still leaving a life changing sum.

Thanks for hosting, Aaron.
