The feast-or-famine streak continues, it was a feast again for Archie, but he couldn't top the record win... and now the man responsible for that, BEN, gets another go!

The Configurator is waiting, hopefully well-oiled having been a bit sticky of late... 1-4 for your player power, Banker power, offer pattern, and money menu!

All the 1s to start, please.

Followed by Boxes 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.

And the 1s give you...



...a FASCINATING draw!

First things first: six to open in the first round. Then the Banker has control of the offer timing, subject to constraints. Classic DOUBLE/+£10,000/MONEY BACK/HALF/NOTHING 25.

The board gets the 1 bump, then £11,111 and £75,111 get switched from pounds to pence, so THIS is your starting board:

Box 9 is yours, so you'll need to add another one to the 1-3-5-7-11 combo. 13?

13, 15, 17, 21, 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 2 and 4 is the rest of my system.

And we'll go six to start!

Box 1 - £151,111! Ouch. No augmented dream finish this time!

Box 3 - £5,111...

Box 5 - £111! Can't leave the £111/£111.11 finish now.

Box 7 - £3,111...

Box 11 - £1! Now one more blue?

Box 13 - £21,111 sadly isn't

So at 18-box you're here...

...and the Banker has options for what happens next. The six remaining offer points must have a combined boxes-remaining count of 40 or less, and he can't instantly copy his last Banker's Choice pattern, which involved offers at 11-box, 8-box, 7-box, 6-box, 5-box, and 3-box..

Starting you off with...

BANKER'S OFFER

£6,000

He's not saying how many there are to open, but he adds it's not seven. Deal or No Deal?

Not enough even if I had 17 boxes to open.

NO DEAL

(Also add 23 and 24 between 21 and 22 on my system )

I thought as much!

It's not seven to open... it's six. Takes us through that turnaround zone as it happens!

Box 15 - £15,111... dangerous board developing...

Box 17 - £51! More of those and the danger will run both ways!

Box 21 - £25! There we go...

Box 23 - £251,111! OUCH.

Box 24 - £35,111! We're already down to two big numbers!!

Box 22 - 11p yay no nightmare finish?

What a horrifying board. To all intents and purposes, two reds at 12-box.

BANKER'S OFFER

£4,000

Next offer is set to be at 10-box... Deal or No Deal?

The offer is simply too small to take with six figures still up for grabs. NO DEAL.

Down evens we go..

Box 20 - £511. Do it again!

Box 18 - £111.11! That's one of the fake reds!

Still alive.

BANKER'S OFFER

£6,001

The Banker says he had two gameplans in mind and he's just settled on one... Deal... or No Deal?

With this Banker being fairly generous on one box games, I think it's worth the risk. NO DEAL.

...and that's your worst-case for NOW because it's ONE to open. The remaining offers after that have to be at 4-, 3-, and 2-box!!

Box 16 - £751.11 IS THE OTHER FAKE RED!!

Well you go into the five-box round... still firmly in it.

BANKER'S OFFER

£7,000

Archie's early-game number. We know how much that escalated... is he trying to bait you into chasing the same expecting failure? With FIVE to open... Deal... or No Deal?

I might regret this, but odds are I'll keep one of the reds this round, so NO DEAL.

FIVE to open.

Regret risk acknowledged.

Box 14 - 1p! Well you can't win THAT one now!

Box 12 - £1,111, the one safe red...

Box 10 - £11! Only two more to survive...

Box 8 -

Box 6 -

So here we are at 4-box. One to open.

Banker's Choice quota: 35/40 after 4/6 offers

After all those boxes...

BANKER'S OFFER

£7,000

...the same offer. ONE to open. Deal... or No Deal?

As much as I don't want to take this, it's too good to turn down on a total one box game. DEAL.

However, I'd like to make a proposal to the Banker.

If the next box is a blue, I'll take a Banker's Gamble on the condition that Box 23 becomes mandatory and +£10,000 becomes Money Back.
