I have listed a number of boards possiblities that people would quite like to have in their game although not listed anything past 8-box because the answers would either be similar to one to another and/or similar to the other possiblities that I have listed.
If anyone gets confused by the mixed bag of numbers bit, I mean having low blues, high bles, low reds, high reds on the same board at 11-box.
You may only choose one but are allowed to say in your post which you were close to choosing but remember the rules you can't choose two.

I think I'd rather have an all-red 11-box. At least then you should get some meaty offers, and even if you no deal you're guaranteed at least £2,000 (assuming a £2k offer on a £1k vs £3k final 2, which has happened before I think).

Having max of £50,000 at 8-box but minimum win being £500 is the other option which would be good too, out of that list. The board would be quite stable meaning the banker may offer some generous offers.

I've never subscribed to the "taking out the low reds in the opening round" thing. Alex from New Year's Day did just that, and it left him with very few backups later on in the game. Also I don't think the "banker's power 5" has a huge influence. The 1p can have a psychological influence, but a blue is a blue at the end of the day.

I would agree with h. The taking out the low reds doesn't work for me. If in the next round you take another red it ain't looking good. Of course the all red 11 box would be the best. Also taking out the bankrs power 5 is good cause the lowest you can win is £10 with £25 offer on £10 vs £50.

I'd have to agree with the all red 11 box. It'd be unique as well and get you in the hall of fame.

I also wouldn't mind the top 4/bottom 4 option either.

I don't think there's one definititive answer, but it's probably the all-red 11-box. The rest depend on the attitude of the player and the mood the banker's in. :)

Well, the all-red 11-box is clearly the most ideal game play for simple reasons.

The Max of £50,000/low of £500 would be alright as well for me, as £500 is still a nice sum and fifty grand is still amazing.

If you had put in Other (please state), I would've gone for Power-five at 8-box with 3 other blues, this would be where my cautious side will clash with my gambling instincts

It was an interesting survey, just thought I would quite like to carry just so you guys could have your thoughts on what you would like if you were playing the game.

Personally if I was playing I would want a mix bag at 11-box. Second answer would be having the four highest and four lowest at 8-box. For me if there are too many reds I would start fearing that I could take out the big ones at any moment and there are not a lot of blues to aim at.
