What is the difference for you between,Greed,Bravery and Ambition?

We all have different view on these things so it be interesting to know what you think.

This thread may as well have been called This or That?, Dog or Cat?, Red or Black? or Ralf or Malf?.

That being said, here's my answer to your question.

Greed: When a player turns down a good offer on a precarious board because they are fixated on winning the highest remaining amount on the board. After declining said offer, said high amount is taken out in the next round, leaving nothing but crap left. If they're lucky, Box 23 will bail them out with the extra 10 grand, but in most cases, it makes a bad situation worse.

Ambition: When a player explicitly states "I need to win X pounds or dollars in order to accomplish Y" at the outset, and subsequently tries their best to do so. Their game is fuelled by their desire to win this exact amount, or something close to it. They sometimes succeed at this, and it's these kinds of games that produce the biggest wins. These people are also most likely to deal at the right time for OPWs, use the Offer Button properly, or win Power Five amounts from their boxes. They're not greedy, and they know when to stop.

Bravery: What one person calls a "brave" player, another might call "greedy." These individuals are willing to tough it out to win big. They're not afraid to take a calculated risk or two along the way. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work out, but in some cases, if luck is on a brave player's side, they can produce a mega-money win.

Bravery - a player refusing to give in or 'crumble' when a game goes less than favourably for them; showing humility, integrity and resolve in the face of overwhelming odds 'stacked' against them. Bravery, in a game of Deal or No Deal, does not only come with large wins. :P :smt023

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.

Alternative, player deals an exceptionally poor offer on an exceptionally good board just to grab what they can - consequentially cutting the game short, creating a possibly large anti climax and having a complete disregard of the opportunities ahead?

Could this be considered greed? I would very much consider this to be greed.
