You were a way out in the first instance... I hope you're a bit closer this time so you have more points to play with...


BANKER'S OFFER

£29,000


... and you DO!! A massive 186 points in play now for one of these upgrades:

    200% -> 293%
    +£20,000 -> +£38,600
    50% -> 87.2%
    10% -> 28.6%

Which of those will you go for this time?

I briefly wondered if that was worth taking with a view to buying a 23 with a 293% option!

Instead, I'm going to stick it on the +£20,000 in the hope that even a crash having a P5 shot will be a weapon later in live play, and then NO DEAL so I can get that live play ;)

Well that's quite the additive option now for if things go wrong! One more prediction to make at some stage, and just one more box in which to find a prize for your prize 'haul' :P


15 - £75!! Wonderful start but no prize, so it's just the Monzo card for you tonight!

19 - £375!! Oh this is getting to be quite the game...

21 -
£87,500! It's the worst box we've seen so far but we can take the hit!

** RING **

He's getting very irritated now, can't quite believe you refused his £29,000...

... you've got one last prediction to use, will you use that here at 9-box?

Average is £70k, I think he's gone a bit more up than he might have done normally because he thought £29k would get me out and this is exactly the situation where that 23 fallback is in the Banker's head.

PLAYER'S PREDICTION

£36,500



I think he'd go £34,749.99 to "prevent the P5 win" if it wasn't for that. And I'm still covering that.

Third prediction in... Was he to be as predictable to keep your total win below £35,000?


BANKER'S OFFER

£41,000


Not on this occasion, but he said that he was going to give you a conditional offer as well based on what you did with your prediction here! That comes after you spend your 90 points here in one of these three ways...

    200% -> 245%
    50% -> 68%
    10% -> 19%

Which is it to be?

Actually may have underestimated the Banker uncertainty there!
I'm going to put that on the +200% because I think the no-downside 23 might be the Banker's late-game weapon of choice today.

In it goes, that gives you this nice and beefy Box 23 roster:

    245%
    +£38,600
    108.7% + CASHBACK

    50%
    10%

And he will reward you by utilising your beefed up red options with, you guessed it...

BANKER'S OFFER

£29,250 & NO DOWNSIDE BOX 23

40% chance of something in the £70k range + 20% chance of a win in the low 30s that's gloriously ridiculous = tempting.

But that fallback really is a weapon and that board really is full of epic potential. NO DEAL!

11, 13, 9.

An incredible decision to play on! He wants to avoid you leaving with a Power 5-sized win here, but he might not be able to avoid that if you pull off another great round here!


11 - £175,000!! Now that's unsettling...

13 -
£17,500! Now you HAVE to find a blue...


9 -
£30! You made it, phew!! :shock: :D

The Banker says you're fixating on that +£38,600 as a fall-back, and not to fall into what's bound to be a devastating trap...

BANKER'S OFFER

£34,749.99


It looks like you may have given him an idea earlier! Either that or...

BANKER'S OFFER

£24,749.99 & NO DOWNSIDE BOX 23

Coinflip chance of hitting on an ENORMOUS opportunity here, otherwise I need to hit a 20% chance just to get back to where I'm at now...

...last round was arguable both ways, I'm going to take the second offer I'm not sure of and it'll be the conditional, that's now even WEIRDER. ;) DEAL £24,749.99 + 23!

7, 5, 3.

It's a DEAL for at least £24,749.99 and hopefully a lot more than that! But we're here, and now we have to prove you did the right thing by not playing on...


7 - £375,000!! Oh PERFECT :D

5 - £62,500!! You avoided an absolute blood bath!! :D :D

3 - 5p

That would've left 30p vs £175 vs £875...

BANKER'S OFFER
WOULD'VE BEEN

£249


Or

BANKER'S OFFER
WOULD'VE BEEN

£5,250 & NO BOX 23


Which means that all along, Box 4 had £875, Box 17 had 30p and Box 1 had £175!

Big moment coming up...

You could've had £34,749.99 in a #moneymenu here, but instead you have exactly ten grand less on a much nicer one...


    245% (£60,637.48)
    +£38,600 (£63,349.99)
    108.7% + CASHBACK (£27,153.24)

    MONEY BACK (£24,749.99)
    MONEY BACK (£24,749.99)

Lots of weird amounts there, but we're hoping for one of those two massive £60k+ amounts to rid him of yet ANOTHER Power 5-sized win...

Take the plunge KP, give me an opetion 1-5 please!

We started with a 2 and we're ending with a 2...

... for over £63,000...


+£38,600 (£63,349.99)
108.7% + CASHBACK (£27,153.24)
MONEY BACK (£24,749.99)
245% (£60,637.48)
MONEY BACK (£24,749.99)

Slightly disappoiting but at least you decided to upgrade that option! He managed to finally avoid a Power 5 win, but not by much! You leave us with £27,153.24 and a £250 Monzo Card! Thanks for playing :smt023
