Hello guys and welcome to my first ever million pound 9-shift DoND! If you want to see how this game works, see this thread!

Playing today is American Coupon Boy, and he could win millions of pounds!

We'll begin by you selecting your own case, 1-26! Then, give me two numbers between 1 and 26 (they can both be the same, if you like) that determines your first shift! The first number will tell us which value gets shifted, the second will tell us which type of shift will apply! Best of luck Ben!

I'll choose Case/Box 19.

Also, I'll choose 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13 as my first six boxes and 9 and 19 for the first two shifts.

Okidokie, Case 19 is yours!

Your first shift is happening to... £40,000...

... and becomes £6,300. Ack... Could've been worse though! That makes this your starting board:



Here we go then. Round 1 comes up in the next post!

1 - £75,000! Not horrific...

3 - £50! Better!

5 - £5! More of them! Means you have less of a chance of a huge downshift!

7 - £20,000

11 - £1,000,000!! Gahhh!! What a letdown!

13 - £50,000! Another big red! Makes this shift slightly dodgy...

I need two more numbers off you for shift #2, between 1 and 20 please.

9 and 19, please.

Those trusty two numbers of yours!

£15,000 is gone...


... in comes £32,000! There's a slight improvement!



BT...

The Banker's counting on that slight bias to the downshifts to help him out tonight, and he said leave now...

BANKER'S OFFER

£26,000

Deal or No Deal? After that, your next five, and your choices for shift #3 (numbers between 1-15).

To quote a (in)famous forum member: "the governor never works on me." NO DEAL.

15, 17, 21, 23, and 25 next, please. Also, 9 and 9 for my next shift.

Ploughing straight on with Round 2! Here's where we're at...

15 - £32,000 [£15,000]! Gone as soon as it arrived!!

17 - £6,300 [£40,000]! Both your shifted amounts gone in two cases!

21 - £150,000!! This is consistent!! Just two blues in nine cases! We need to hit some of those blues or this could become ugly...


23 - £100,000!! Unbelievable!! There will be no standard upshifts left in this game, just small ones or huge ones, if any!! This HAS to be blue...

25 - £7,500! It's the biggest one, but we'll take it!!

Time for that shift, and I'm not surprised you're looking slightly worried here...

Shift time. Oh f***, out goes £750,000...






... IN COMES £4,000,000!!! By god did we need that!!!



BT...

The Banker thinks this is an excellent offer, considering all those blues that could seriously impede some of those mega values of money...

BANKER'S OFFER

£49,750

Astonishingly, just 3 higher!! And you have 4 to open in the next round... Deal or No Deal?

(Shift #4 is from numbers 1-11, it'll be the last time you can go double 9 )

Definitely a tricky decision for the board, but I came here to play the game, so NO DEAL.

26, 24, 22, and 20, please. Also, 9 and 9 for the shift.

Onwards we go! Round 3 takes us past the half way point, let's attack some blues already!!


26 - £5,000! It'll do!

24 - £2!! There goes another possible huge downshift!


22 - £250!! Oh we need this!! Can we complete the all blue?


20 - £10!!! EXCELLENT round!! Only one possibility out of 11 now of a huge downshift, and a 3/11 chance of a huge upshift!

Out goes £10,000 which is fine!


... and it becomes £11,000! Hahaha, it's more money so we can't complain!

That should add about £50 to the offer.

All of a sudden, this game just got all the more interesting...

BANKER'S OFFER

£101,050

Your first 6-figure offer!! With the extra £50 that shift added £250k and £500k back up that immense jackpot of £4m, though it's a big drop back down to the other 8 amounts! You have 3 to open in the next round, and a shift (numbers 1-8). What's it to be Ben, Deal or No Deal?

If the stakes were divided by 10, that would be an easy decision.

However, the thought of dropping from six figures to four figures in one go isn't a pleasant thought. Still, you only live once, so NO DEAL.

18, 16, and 14, please. Also, 8 and 8 for the shift.

He's got the courage! Hopefully these 3 boxes validate that decision, here we go...


18 - £20!! Your sixth blue in a row!! Can you keep it going?


16 - £250,000!! It's the second green you've found, and we don't want to be seeing another one for quite a long time!



14 - £1!!! No more huge downshifts to be afraid of!! It makes this shift slightly less daunting, and here it comes...

That was an EXCELLENT round.

50/50 chance of the shifting value to go up or down now!

It's £1,000...


... it's upshifted to a 65" LED 4K TV! It's currently priced at £2,299 in Currys!
