Amanda: Reluctant £3,526 at 2 box

Would easily be willing to risk it up to that point with mediocre offers on a moderately low stakes board with a safety net, but 70% of the average on an all or peanuts finish is enough for me to cut my losses.

Probably £7,455 at 3-box. Only £10k vs £25k would get you a great deal more.

All the way to £10,000 in the box.

There was nothing worth considering until the 5-box shuffle and then that itself was quite an easy decision - but still a decision. 10% total disaster scenario is not insignificant. But we look at the half full glass and drink away.

My favourite board to play is the 3-box shootout. This one wasn't quite as scary as many before, but we still have to carefully consider £7,455. As has been pointed out, only a 30% chance of drastic increase and a guaranteed £10,000. And if we want to avoid the BLUE peril, it would mean accepting whatever is handed out at the final two-box conundrum - one is a lesser offer and the other would barely be an increase for the gamble we're taking.

I can afford such a gamble, though, so would open the final box.

Not ideal, £50 and £10k remaining. The offer is much less than the previous declination. I did perhaps tentatively suggest that accepting this is better than another possible outcome, but I shall put forward some addition consideration:-

It would be a significant loss of face to accept such a get-out, wouldn't it? You should have just grasped any old sh*t that was offered in, like, round two. Save yourself the drama. That's not the sort of ship I run. I don't ignore the risks of what is literally a 50/50 lottery - after all, blue wins are not a permittable outcome. But to avoid that result would force me into accepting another mortifying finish - accepting a defeatist deal that's lower than the summit of the game.

Pride is on the line here, but sure enough we persevere and the £10,000 is welcomed and deserved.

Either £3,526 or all the way to £10,000. More likely the latter, but it was a very tough offer!

Kushy: £1,411 at 2 box

The 3rd offer was very generous considering how exposed the 100k was but below the amount I'm comfortable dealing with it in play, and the 8 box offer while still very decent felt like an insufficient uplift having dodged the jackpot a full round.

£4,190 at the eight-box stage.

Truth be told, we were already at the sudden death mode before we even reached this stage. You rarely see such a volatile board so early on, it wasn't even deceptive. Anyone could see just how much far, wide and cascading the dam breach would be with the removal of the £100k in the following round, should such an event occur.

I am not one to cling on to the tightrope for longer than necessary, as modest as £4,190 can appear it certainly was a sizeable portion in the context of the way this game board was materialising. I don't consider myself greedy or unnecessarily reckless so the offer would be accepected with grace.

And I am certain our player would be agreeing with me. Her *dreadful* prize was inglorious and certainly avoidable.

What do you gain from (clearly hindsight troll) claiming an OPW every day? Sadistic pleasure that you're taking up the mantle of forum troll?? :?

Deal at £1,411. Even at low stakes I'm not turning down a final offer that generous!

Sandra: £5,000 in the box

The 5 box offer was WAY more tempting than the next 2 offers, which were both gimme no deals given the strength of the board. :smt011

£16,250 at the three-way.

All risks up to this point were low level and calculated. Many would find themselves puttied by the guarantee of £5,000 and while it certainly is advantageous to have eliminated the risk of a blue prize earlier than many achieve, we risk dismissing real actual money being offered to us. £16,250 - we cannot be sideswept by it, it is over £10k higher than the minimum prize, the fact that the basement is coloured red should not cloud our judgement.

You win £10k on this show, you've achieved a solid result. So should we so readily dismiss the not inconsiderable chance of losing it? I don't see the board worth playing with no chance at a significantly higher final offer, then a high stakes shootout if we play on from there.

I don't spin that kind of yarn, you see. That extra £10k can fit nicely into my hand so £16,250 would be dealt with no looking back.

All the way to £5,000. The only offer I'd have even considered was the 5-box one, and even then not for long before declining it!
