Okay killersbee/Dr Hindsight.

£7,000 comes along and you swat it away with a 50/50 chance of winning something that you could find underneath the kitchen worktop covered in sh*t and dirt?

Well call me daft but that's something I'm not prepared to do.

Michael: All the way to the 1p for me... again!

Deal at 4p.

Either deal at 4p or all the way to 1p.

Michael: Again normally I'd take £314 but seeing as Deal history was on with consecutive 1p wins the stakes were just low enough for me to play things out, so 1p

£5,770, third offer. Bit early? Perhaps, but...

That board was not impregnable by any means, mere chisel damage would have reduced the offer. All it realistically needed was one of the largest two values being eliminated. I know a deceptive board when I see one. Something hypnotic about the way the 1p/10p were being isolated on the board too while the entire middle was melted away.

Then you force yourself to ignore the ''5'' in the offer and focus on the ''770'' - that's not far off £6,000. And it the offer began with ''6'', I think a great many of us would be more receptive to it. Closer to 10k than 1k! Well that's my reasoning and it would have proved correct. When the fun stops, stop. Even if the ride hasn't long left the station.
