Dave: £5,130 at 3 box

The (live play :roll: ) 2 box offer would've been in the 7-8k range if the 25k stayed so it wasn't worth the risk there.

I probably do the same although I don't think the Banker would necessarily have been as low as £7-8k. I would have anticipated somewhere between that and the proveout number we got, probably starting with a 9; either way, I'm not risking almost £5k to find out...

For once I wouldn't have gone all the way, and instead would have dealt at £5,130. With how unpredictable the banker is on blue/25k finishes I'm not risking a 1 in 3 chance of losing nearly all that money.

£5,130 at 3-box given the best-scenario 2-box offer wasn't likely to have been much more.

Jade: Didn't expect to say this but exactly the same as her, £4,985 at 5 box. :shock: :)

On recent form the Banker was unlikely to offer loads more unless she hit the 10% chance of keeping both the 10k & 25k to 2 box, so wasn't worth the risk there.

Surprisingly fair offers today - I'd have dealt £4,985.

Possibly just about carry on at 5-box, then possibly go on at 3-box as well given even £10 vs £10k would've probably got an offer of around £4k based on today's generosity.

Definitely deal £10,630 at 2-box... if I'd got that far.

I'd have felt quite confident in declining £4,985, I think, because it's not as if the drop would've been significant if only one of the reds stayed up - and on the basis that it would take extreme bad luck to remove both of them, why not go on? :D

Like Tom Hanks and his football on that island in 'Cast Away', it looks like it's just me and the bots here now. But that's alright, we're having a grand old time. Aren't we, Wilson? WILSOOOON?!

A few of us who were once part of the furniture, once stalwarts of the grand and extravagant, exuberant and thriving forum, have receded back into the walls, still faintly visible, still here as poignant, reminding relics of an era gone by; but most of us have vanished, forever immersed in the mists of time.

Kez: £46,770 at 2 box :D

Board was plenty strong to turn down those lousy pre-2 box offers, though a 10k fallback isn't enough to risk 36k just to try for roughly 1.5 times more.

I'm behind again:

Rachel: £2,000 from the box
Kem: £7,500 from the box
Dave: £5,130 at 3-box
Jade: £10,630 at 2-box

Kez: £46,770 at 2-box. I don't blame her for taking the offer she took. £21k is very good money but I would be willing to take the risk for at least one more round.

£46,770 at 2 box. Everything before that was an instant no deal, but on a 10k/100k finish, I'm not risking over 36k on a coinflip, even with a 10k cushion.

£46,770 for me too - I'm pretty sure my tipping point on that finish is lower in the 40s than that.

I can't work out how or why anybody would see £21,500-odd as a good deal in that situation. I'd have won £46,770.

Jovan: £50,000 in the box :D :-D

I'm in a spot in my life where I don't need £13,300, and given how life-changing 50k is it's worth the risk to me there.
