Probably £24,700 too - having to deal at the likely £2-3k or so for taking out the big 2 I think would have spooked me, even if there were potential big gains if both stayed to 3-box or one of them to 2-box.

I actually think I chase (and then take, obviously) the 2-box AMO here - the £10k middle box was huge not only at 5-box but at 3-box too, where it meant the 2-box offer for finding the jackpot would still be £6k-ish against this incompetent Banker, and that would have almost certainly been enough of a safety net for me to take the 2/3 chance of more than doubling my money! (I say almost because I can't guarantee in the chair I wouldn't have taken the 3-box offer out of sheer relief at escaping after the £75k 18th box...)

£24,700 at 5-box, no hesitation! A lot of eye rolling at the £64K :roll: :roll: :roll:

Literally this. The 5-box was kind of easy to walk away from in these circumstances, and a slightly disappointing 3-box offer (and I can't believe I'm saying that :shock: ) would have pushed me on, especially with a guaranteed £5k+ at that last offer.

As tempting as it would have been to go on, I'd have definitely taken 24.7k at 5 box. Too much money to risk.

Either 5 box or 3 box offer. Not sure which though.

Jamie: £37,700 at 3 box and no regrets :D

Even with this generous Banker that's simply too much to risk.

£37,700 would've been fairly tempting, but 20 games into this Banker's insane 2-box generosity I'd have played on with the blue/£25k floor and taken £74,950 thank you very much!
