These are some boards which commonly appear-what would you do faced with them? You can say if you'd deal the low, high, or medium offer-or all three?

Board One
Four blues, two low reds, the £100,000 and £250,000 [eight-box] (examples: Donna (3), Alain)
Bankers Offers
low-£15,000
medium-£22,000
high-£28,000

Board Two
Two blues, £35,000, £75,000, and £250,000 [five-box] (examples: Jane (3), Stella, Patrick)
Bankers Offers
low-£40,000
medium-£50,000
high-£60,000

Board Three
Two blues, £35,000, £50,000 and £75,000 [five-box] (examples: Bindya, Miles, Jamie (sometimes with £20,000 instead of £35,000)
Bankers Offers
low-£20,000
medium-£25,000
high-£30,000

I would not deal any on the first board, deal £60,000 and maybe £50,000 on the second board, and £30,000 on the third board.

Board 1:

Deal £22,000 and £28,000

Board 2:

Deal £50,000 and £60,000

Board 3:

Only Deal £30,000

Board One
No Deal to all three

Board Two
£50,000

Board Three
No Deal to all three, although a lot of deliberation over £30,000.

Board one - I'd probably turn down £15k and probably take £22k. I'd definitely take £28k.

Board two - Well they're all the same to me really...£40k might as well be £60k in my book. I'd probably take them all.

Board three - Well it depends if it's the £20k or £35k there. If it's the £20k I'd take £20k, but if it's the £35k I'd probably only take £25k. I'd take £30k with either of them there.

Board One - no deal £15,000, deal £22,000, deal £28,000.

Board Two - deal £40,000, deal £50,000, deal £60,000.

Board Three - with £20k there - probably deal £20,000, definitely deal £25,000, definitely deal £30,000; with £35k there - tempting to deal, but probably no deal £20,000, probably deal £25,000, definitely deal £30,000.

Board 1:
low-£15,000- I would say NO DEAL
medium-£22,000- I would say NO DEAL
high-£28,000- I would say NO DEAL

Borad 2:
low-£40,000- I would say NO DEAL
medium-£50,000- I would say NO DEAL
high-£60,000- I would probably say DEAL

Board 3:
low-£20,000- I would say NO DEAL
medium-£25,000- I would say NO DEAL
high-£30,000- I would say NO DEAL

Board One

Four blues, two low reds, the £100,000 and £250,000 [eight-box] (examples: Donna (3), Alain)

Banker's Offers:

low-£15,000 No deal
medium-£22,000 No deal
high-£28,000 No deal

Both highest sums in play for goodness sake with a decent consolation backup!

Board Two

Two blues, £35,000, £75,000, and £250,000 [five-box] (examples: Jane (3), Stella, Patrick)

Banker's Offers:

low-£40,000 No deal
medium-£50,000 No deal
high-£60,000 Tempting deal, but probably no deal.

Board Three

Two blues, £35,000, £50,000 and £75,000 [five-box] (examples: Bindya, Miles, Jamie (sometimes with £20,000 instead of £35,000)

Banker's Offers:

low-£20,000 No deal
medium-£25,000 No deal
high-£30,000 Probably no deal

On the first board, I would be tempted to take the middle offer. On balance, I would take the chance of only dealing the higher offer, as there's a lot to play for.

(And I'm not influenced by what happened in Donna's game.)

Board two, is easy. The middle offer would secure my exit.

And board three is difficult. The low offer is slightly too low for me (except if it were with £20,000 in play, not £35,000), but I would easily accept the middle one.

The kind of board where I would deal at 8 box would be one with 2 high reds and 6 blues and an offer of around £25,000 because the odds are that you will take at least one of the two reds out before 5 box (64% chance) and see your offer reduced, and then as you try to chase the 8 box offer by no dealing at 5 box you probably see the other red picked out and you go home with a blue. If you have three decent reds and 5 blues at 8 box then you have a 1.8% chance of taking those reds out before 5 box so I would usually no deal unless the offer was really high. The key with making a success of no dealing is usually based on how much insurance you have if things go a bit wrong but as we've seen, if the offers are low because of a bad board and you have a "one box game" then it is worth taking the risk of going deep into the game.

Board 1: not even a decision to make at £28k. £22k would be a definite Deal for me too and I might even take £15k. This board is misread more than almost any other, nobody considers the 65%-ish chance of hitting at least one. edit: except rico, evidently

Board 2: The 10% chance of disaster might be enough for me to take any of those. But I think I'd need £50k to go, maybe even rejecting that.

Board 3: Two blues and the lowest three of the Power 5? A truly crazy one, what with the mean being below the median; I'd take the £30k, turn down the £20k without thought, and quickly turn down £25k also - unless the 1p was still there, in which case after today's excuse for a game I might be tempted to Deal.

Board 1:
No Deal to all three.

Board 2:
Deal £60,000 (perhaps the £50,000 as well but not the £40,000)

Board 3:
No deal to all three
