As I would be expecting an offer close to the mean on any finish other than £35k/QM anyway, still deal.

Well, that makes it a demonstrably positive-expectation gamble, but not by much, not quite by enough. Deal. Just.

As I said no deal the first time, my decision this time isn't affected whatsoever, instead I would more willingly turn it down.

Given my calculations the last time about the 2-box offers were pretty close to the mean anyway, no change. Still DEAL.

Still No Deal, because the Banker giving the mean doesn't happen very often and it means that he's given a lot of respect.

To be honest, I said No Deal originally - I guess if you're guaranteed fairly big money then I reckon I'd go crazy (as opposed to big-money 5-box boards with one or two blues in play where I feel really cautious).

That's exactly my point.. its such a stable board good for tossing the offer aside on and playing on regardless.

Whilst I hate it when people deal 2 box offers with such a small loss involved (eg. £75,000/£100,000) it would be much more less of a sin in my books doing that rather than dealing on the dream 5 box board. We can get another £75,000/£100,000 finish every once in 230 odd shows, but the dream 5 box board would statistically come up once in every 25,000 shows...

If anyone dealt under £90,000 on this board on the real programme I would blurt out posts similar to that of late 06.. and i really wouldn't want that to happen

Deal.

I'd be expecting near mean offers on the final pairing anyway. Obviously maybe £5k/£10k or whatever down but that's not enough to change my mind.

Still quite happy to walk with £100k tyvm.

No Deal here. Might even be tempted to deal an awkward £142,500 or £162,500 at 2-box

No Deal, no question.

With £35,000 guaranteed, my wakey side would begin to kick in...I expect £95,000 with that 5-box board, but still £98,000 is hell of a lot!
