After two games with a combined total of £54.36, it's safe to say APOALFAN will expect to do better on returning to this for the first time since memorably leaving the boosted dream finish at the end after dealing for "only" £35,000! We'd take that kind of disappointment after the last two games though

As always, we start picking 1-4 for each of player power, Banker power, offer pattern, and money menu from The Configurator!

I choose 1/1/1/1

All 1s for hopefully a wonderful game

The offer pattern is 6-5-4-3-2-1-1, if one of the first four rounds is all-blue then one random red (not the £250k) is replaced by the highest blue you removed. Box 25 is at least more interesting than APOAL with TRIPLE/DOUBLE/HALF/QUARTER/NOTHING as the five options, and whatever you have left after that could go up or be paired by a prize from the wheel!

Let's start the countdown !

24/23/22/21/20/19

From the top...

Box 24 - £5! Great start, plus it confirms they were shuffled

Box 23 - £3,000. Fine!

Box 22 - 10p! Better than fine

Box 21 - £15,000...

Box 20 - £500! One more for the super start...

Box 19 - £35,000! Oh well. Still five above that!

That is still a good round.

BANKER'S OFFER

£9,500

Five to open in the next round. Deal or No Deal?

£9,500, the banker is not "the iron bar"

I still have to say NO DEAL

Box 18/17/16/15/14

He's not playing, he doesn't know how the game will end in advance

Box 18 - £25! At this rate he might wish he did so he could be warned of how much you'd be taking from him...

Box 17 - £1,000 is good news too! Especially as you've not hit two in a row of one colour so this should be blue?

Box 16 - £10,000! Well, if you're going to break the pattern, that's not a bad way to do it

Box 15 - 1p! Especially when followed by THAT!

Box 14 - 50p! This is now looking amazing...

The Banker can't believe you're having this kind of luck again! But he says he's glad it's you, because you know how to play the game and so might actually deal

This is the first time he's offered anywhere near this at the SECOND OFFER... he says you can and will genuinely consider taking it.

BANKER'S OFFER

£23,000

ALREADY! And remember you have the wheel after this and would have four to open... Deal or No Deal?

Very good offer, if that was a classical uk game i would have probably deal this, but this board is very good, with 5 amounts above it so i'm gonna say NO DEAL

Box 13/12/11/10

The £150,000 definitely makes this an even better game than it already is! Plus, you have more late-game offers which is probably useful...

Box 13 - £150,000! Well, there THAT goes.

Box 12 - £1! But the next box is perfect! This would be an incredible "classical" UK 11-box, but we have different offer timing around here...

Box 11 - £50! And the first of them is ANOTHER blue! This is worth a spoiler box already...

Box 10 -

That may not have been a great round, but it's not ruined it. The game was THAT good.

The Banker says this was a very easy offer to make...

BANKER'S OFFER

£23,000

...because the number was right there in his spreadsheet already You can take everything above the offer in this three-box round, so there's more danger now than before, but you know the risk the other way from your first game against this Banker! Deal or No Deal?

I said NO DEAL when it was the same average, so i'm gonna say NO DEAL again !

Box 9/7/6/5 next

Oops, it's only 3, i thought it was 4

Box 9/7/6 next only

We know that at the next offer the average won't be right in the same area because of what boxes you have left... but will it be higher or lower?

Box 9 - £75,000! We need to keep the top two for it to be higher...

Box 7 - £20,000 means the whole game is about those two...

Box 6 -

This is the Banker's best run ever. Two incredible disasters, and now one horrendous crash.

£10
£100
£250
£750
£5,000
£100,000

Two to open and then one at a time from 4-box...

BANKER'S OFFER

£6,500

1/3 chance of losing the last big box... Deal or No Deal?

Well, i have no choice, i took the gamble i lost, it's time to cut the loss

So i'm gonna say DEAL

Hypo Box 5/4 next

And there's the escape! £6,500 is yours and we'll see about 25 in a bit...

Box 5 - £750...

Box 4 - £250! Oh, if only you had one of those on the table, then at least you'd have had £250k at that last offer...

Everything is going his way.
