Ok, you're at the 5-box stage with this board:

1p
------
£50,000
£75,000
£100,000
£250,000


Bankers Offer..............£80,000!

Would you Deal or No Deal?

It's Daniel's board but with 1p instead of the £750.

I'd deal for sure.

The only way I could possibly be disappointed after dealing that was 250k in the box and one of the other big reds backing it up. I wouldn't be upset keeping it to 2-box as I would never swap away the 250k, and I also wouldn't be upset having it in the box with 1p in the last pair either as I'd deal less than 80k on that last pair.

If 100k was in the box it would the insufficent difference to really be disappointed about! :)

I'd deal as I wouldn't want to risk crashing from an £80k offer to a probable £10k offer if you had a 1p / £50k final 2. But there is a case for going on, as just knocking out the 1p would guarantee you at least £50,000...

A rock solid no-deal.

The worst that could happen is 1p v £50k which is still going to get a decent fallback offer. There is a decent chance the 1p would go the next round and leave a worst case scenario of £50k v £75k.

And with a serious chance of £250k or £100k I would go on. Its a once in a lifetime chance not to be blown by faint hearts or cowardice!

I think I would no deal. It'd be tough but I would take the gamble. I would bank on hopefully finding the 1p in the next 3 boxes.

Don't know what i'd do if it was 1p vs £250,000 and i'm not sure what the Banker would offer. Would the Banker stick or go down from £80,000? Surely after taking a massive risk and having a near perfect round, which is quite amazing to consider that £50,000 & £75,000 are the components of a perfect round, it wouldn't be fair to drop the offer.

I'm not sure what I'd do. Part of me thinks it'd be worth the gamble, but the sensible part of me thinks that it's far too much money to turn down. It would depend on whether I had my sensible head on that day.

I said £90,000 was a no-brainer with the £750; ten grand less is no less clear-cut, and with a 40% chance of a much lower offer (even 1p/£250k would be much less than £80k) there really isn't a decision to be made here. DEAL.

30% chance of something less, I'd go for it.

Depending on the box I had in front of me, it'd be a deal, but if I had either of my lucky numbers on the table (2 or 11), then I'd probably go for it.

In the next round the odds are you are going to hit the 1p!! Then the odds in taking the top 2 is also slim!!! It has to be NO DEAL!!

Absolutely no deal... good grief, that board is just begging to be played- all you need to do is knock out the penny and you are guaranteed £50,000.

Basically, in rejecting £80,000 on that board, I'm going to the end anyway so if it was a 1p/£50,000 finish then no offer would get me out after declining £80,000... so if worst did come to worst, then at least I'd have the accolade of "biggest crash ever in the history of the show" (and, for once, it would be true...)

No Deal!

The offer would have to be over £90,000 for me to even consider THINKING about taking it!

No deal but Daniel's 90K was a Deal.

and if the 1p remained with 50/75K/100K and the offers were less than 15K/18K/25k I'd definitely take the box but I'm curious to know what 1p vs 250k would produce.

I'll work out the odds later.

I think it would only be right to go for it if you were chasing 6-figures, which I wouldn't be, so I'd deal.

I'd be gutted if I left £250,000 in the other box though...

No deal. I'd hope the 1p would be found and I wouldn't regret playing on if I won £50,000 compared to £80,000.
