I think this option in Box 23 is rather pointless. I would change to have something like maybe +£1,000 or x1.5.
What does anyone else think?

Yes, but you hate Deal or No Deal. And everything else that's ever existed. Even daffodils. :roll: :smt047

Seriously, I do kind of agree. I don't know what the purpose of 'money back' really is, I don't know if it has one... :ponder:

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.

I think it should be eliminated, because it creates awkward situations.

Example: Player wins a low blue, buys Box 23, Money Back is inside, they're now stuck with something utterly useless.

The thing is, I don't know what it could be replaced with. Maybe it could be replaced with a holiday, or some other marginally-valued prize (consumer electronics would be an example).

Winning a blue sucks, plain and simple. But perhaps a holiday or a new iPad, flat-screen TV or camera would make losers feel a bit better.

Thing is, if they dispensed with it and kept the other 4 options, your "reward premium" would be slightly better for lower wins clearly. But it would also mean no more members of the 1p club, which is probably why they didn't consider it.
