...I think I'd have gone into this offer with the 50k and 20k as my only reds than the 250k and 5k, but that does constitute surviving...

Well you can't complain about a lack of clarity now.

£5
£25
£50
£100
£500
£750

£5,000
£250,000


The Banker would like to note that he is given an upper and lower bound for his offers based on the board at that time, and that in this particular case the upper bound is almost double the lower bound. That is how much latitude he has on that configuration.

He's giving you a choice of two offers.

BANKER'S OFFER

£9,600


BANKER'S OFFER

£6,900 ON NO-DOWNSIDE 25



The latter would replace the three negative options on Box 25 with MONEY BACK, giving you a free 40% chance to double or triple up.

OR you can open two more boxes, with all the obvious risk and reward that has...

...Deal or No Deal?

The board has a 75% of me surviving, and if I do the offer has to increase a lot.

I know I'm not going for the first offer.

I make the second offer's EV just over 11k.

I'm going to go No Deal on this, 9 and 12.

Box 12 -
£5,000! THE OTHER RED! YOU AREN'T DEAD!!

Is this the time to go? One box ends the game, two blues threatens the Banker's ability to keep a cool head... Deal or No Deal?

With a 1 in 3 chance of instant total disaster, that offer would see an ACB-shaped Hole in the Wall, with FrenchAPOALfan and Gizensha right behind me I imagine. :-D :-D

Indeed. The wheel actually encourages more conservative play in this situation, as well, since for the percentage increases to mean anything I need to have something reasonably large to begin with.

Deal

It's a DEAL for £15,000!

The Banker rings up to say he knew he could have offered a lot less but he knew that overpaying was the correct mistake in that situation. :P

15 and 18 post-Deal?

Box 24 - £500!

On a £50 / £250,000 finish...

BANKER'S OFFER
WOULD'VE BEEN

£64,000



We know that either the box on the table or the box you saved to the end carried you when nothing else was there to... did you actually have disastrous boxes all over the multiples of 3, and get saved by drawing the jackpot box as the one you bought to the table?

Box 19... had £50! It was Box 3 that had the £250,000, how relieved must the Banker be that you didn't back that up with much else at the business end!

Box 25, with five possible outcomes...

TRIPLE (£45,000)
DOUBLE (£30,000)

HALF (£7,500)
QUARTER (£3,750)
NOTHING


Obviously this interacts with the wheel that comes after this... to buy Box 25 with £15,000, Deal or No Deal?
