Following on from Rico7's thread, and a suggestion that was made in it:

How low would the offer be to no deal on a blue vs. £250k?

It only goes up to £120k, as I doubt the banker would offer more than £120k these days on a board like that!

I put £30k - £40k. Over £30k I deem as a big win, less between £20k and £30k I class as an above-average win.

I'd be more tempted to deal when the blue's one of the pocket change amounts (unless it's 50p ;) ), rather than "weekend away" money like £500 or £750!

To me I would No Deal for anything under £40,000 with a blue/250k board!

I voted £20,001-£30,000...£20k would be a really, really *beep* offer on that board, but I'm still not sure that I could risk it with a 50% chance of something *beep*. :? I don't know, I might go for it...it would depend on how I was feeling, and if anyone was there to give me advice. Above £60k would definitely be a Deal any day, though, I think, and below £20k would definitely be a No Deal...in between, it gets a bit dodgy.

But unlike other people, I'd want to go for it even more if the blue were a really *beep* one. Turning down £50k and winning £750 would just be crap...at least if you won 1p you'd have a cool story!

Where is the 'No offer would get me to deal on that scenario'? I voted the £100,001 - £120,000 anyway.

But throwing away £220,000 - £230,000 is far more bigger!

No I think he just voted for that as there was no "no deal anything" option...

But think about it Wakey, £100,000 would see you through university without having to build up any debts, and let you travel for a year then put down a decent deposit on a house, even if prices keep going up at their current rate! But you'd really say "Sod that, I'll take the coin-flip for £250k and risk ending up with nothing"? :roll:

But lets think about this realisticly, there is a cat in hells chance of me being offered £100,000+ in the first place. I'd just rather open the box and win it!

I went with £10,001 - £20,000. Although it would probably have to be toward the higher end of that bracket for me to accept the offer.

I went for £10,001 - £20,000. The reason I didn't put a "no deal" option in, is because I didn't want a load of people just voting no deal - I want to know what offer would make you deal. If no deal everything (which is unlikely), say so here, and why!

I went for £50,001 - £60,000, though it would depend on what blue it was.

If it were less than £100, that is 'nothing' then it'd be the one beneath it. If it were greater than £100, that is 'peanuts' then it'd probably be the one above it.

I think if you get to a £250k final pair, then a blue is a blue, doesn't matter which one - in fact you could probably throw in £1,000, £3,000 and £5,000 as well, chances are all of them are "peanuts" compared to the offer you would be turning down.

£100 would pay for a weekend away somewhere or a nice meal somewhere and I would have a lasting momentum of Deal or No Deal. £1,000 would pay for a week away; £3,000 for our summer holiday.

However, as I said, on a £100,000-blue it would be very different, and I feel that I would probably deal at about £15,000 so it is very much something special about the £250,000. I would basically be looking for excuses to No Deal so I could say "I went after the big one."

I went for the £20,001 to £30,000 offer which I then discovered is the most popular choice in the poll. Knowing that I could have won £30,000 or more as I left Bristol with £1 would not be fun! That said, you never know what you would do until you're in that situation, and with the TV cameras and lights, and people egging you on to go for the jackpot, you just might get carried away by the situation!

Even in the event of me appearing in the chair, with the current relatively 'flat' trend in offers - the offers not becoming consistently more generous relative to the mean as they do in many other versions - I suspect this would be a moot point.

I'd probably be looking for 40k if it happened. But then again, on one hand I would be horrified to lose any big sum in that situation, but on the other I would probably be thinking 'well, I never really got a chance to Deal anyway'. Because I'd imagine it would take five really low offers to push me into a finish like this anyway.
