Hi people

If you were in play and retained the 250k and 100k as your final 2 boxes the bankers offer would obviously be around £170 - 175 thousand.
Who would actually deal?
I for one certainly would not and would definatly play on to me its a no brainer. But I seen one or two people in posts who said they WOULD deal.
I am just curious what most people would do.
But I honestly cannot belive people would turn down a oppotunity like that and walk.

It would depend on my financial circumstances and plans at the time. I'd be extremely lucky to be in that situation in the first place! I would probably have dealt way before the two box stage!

Because it’s the dream finish, I would be more likely to no deal because it’s a win/win situation, and I’d look a bit silly dealing and then finding out I’d had the biggie in my box.

However, an offer of £175k is very tempting when you could potentially drop back to £100k. I think an offer of around £170k-£190k would be enough for me to deal. Because that’s nearly double what you are guaranteed to go home with, and gambling that to gain an extra 80k/70k/60k isn’t worth it, in my opinion. Anything below £150k and I’d no deal immediately.

So I don’t have a definite answer to that question, it would have to be a there and then decision.

But it's all very well sitting here and saying that, when you're on the show, the pressure gets to you!

I'm with "The Banker", I too would have dealt way before the two-box stage, which makes the question kinda irrelevant.

If I did get that far, I'd probably take the gamble on and be happy with my guaranteed £100K, but since I'd have chickened out at five or eight box for about a quarter of that at £25K I'm sure I would never have that chance in real life.

Oh its just hypothetically just saying you were lucky enough to get to that scenario.
I just wouldn't belive anyone would take a bankers offer with this situation and not take the oppotunity.

Less than £160k and I'd No Deal...£165k or more and I'd Deal. Between £160k and £165k I wouldn't be sure.

No deal, unless the banker threw in a huge AMO, we're talking £200,000 or over.

I would carry on because I couldn't give a *beep* if I left with £100,000 after turning down £175,000. I would be more gutted dealing £175,000 and thowing away the ultimate £250,000, knowing the fact I had £100,000 as a backup to get it.

No deal for sure.

Same for me it isn't a win win situation as if you reject the offer of say 165,000 and find 100,000 in your box you've made a big loss.

But would you seriously be unhappy with £100,000? I wouldn't give a *beep* if I won £100,000 after declining £175,000. My only dissapointment would be not winning the £250,000.

Yes, I would. OK, £100k is an absolutely amazing amount of money, but once you're in that situation, you've got it. It's yours. The decision is just whether you want to risk (for example) £70k for the chance of another £80k. Which I wouldn't. Although like "The Banker" and Mickey have said, the kind of person who would deal with that final two is likely to have dealt much earlier anyway, so it's a moot point really.

I probably would deal on that final two, although I would be tempted to go on. Unless I had an amazing board, I would probably have dealt earlier, though.

If it actually happened in active play, I suspect the offer would be low enough to not even allow you to consider dealing - a bit like they did with Kirsty's game really. I think the fact that the worst case scenario would be still a life-changing amount, for entertainment purposes, they'd ensure the player said no deal whatever!

I half-expected them to do something similar with Lance, offer him £80k to force him into not even considering dealing, as nothing bad could happen!

I would not deal with that final 2 even though 75k is a 'big drop' because 100k is more than enough anyway. It's therefore worth going for the confetti in that situation - you'd look a bit silly dealing if you had the biggie.

Psychologically it would be harder to no deal 75k and 250k with an offer of 150-160k but even Kelsie said she would no deal that so we shouldn't really be discussing this too much.

But 75k is a huge some of money so if people don't want to risk that ona coin flip for an extra 75k then fair enough.

It could Depend on what you plan to do with the money and your financial situation before hand.

I'd probably deal most offers over £175,000, losing £75,000 is too big of a risk but I suppose its a half full half empty situation.

I've just remembered something. I wonder what Leanne from January would have done? She was left with those two in proveout. She had the 100k and the 250k was on the wings in psychic Sarah's predicted box. She would have been offered 172k. Would she have dealt (in the very unlikely event as she was cautious), had she got that far? And if she had no dealt would she have swapped?

Two others - Sara and Donna - have been in the same situation. Donna was given an offer of £170k and Sara £175k.

I would never deal at this final two. For the sake of the audience, who have been deprived of this final two in active play for so long, I would have to no deal, and remembering £100k is an enormous amount of money.

Hello Everyone!

Just been reading through your posts....and it brought back the memories!!

I don't know what I would have done really. I'm sure though that if I had gone on and got to the last 2 boxes, I wouldn't have been offered as much as £172K.

It is so different sitting in that chair though, I was soooo nervous. If only I had been a little braver!! No regrets though (well almost).

Leanne x
