Before he gives the offer, The Banker says that he is "impressed" with Cheryl's courage! Cheryl becomes one of the very few players to get the respect of The Banker!
And he has followed it with a respectable offer!
Banker's offer: $118,000!
DEAL!
Cheryl suffered huge setbacks in her first appearance, taking out the top prize in every round, but has rallied back to take a six-figure payoff!
Wouldn't it be even better if her deal turned out to be the best possible outcome in her game? Lets now do a Proveout and see!
Proveout: Round One:
25: $5!!!!!
OUCH!!! CHERYL HAD AT LEAST $50,000 IN HER CASE!!!
Banker's offer: $172,000!
Dealt at: $118,000!
Okay, so Cheryl didn't make the best deal after all but there is still a possibility that she sold her Case 8 for more than double than it was worth.
Cheryl sold her case for $118,000. A case that held...
8: $300,000
Oh well, Cheryl is still happy with her huge win and she did get the respect of The Banker, whose probably more happy that he managed to beat her!
To prove it:
17: $50,000
Game Summary:
Peak offer: $172,000
Case value: $300,000
Prize won: $118,000
Result: Outright Banker Win
Cheryl goes back home with $118,000 of The Banker's money in her pocket and we've got a new contestant ready to pick the Banker's pocket!
Contestant: Tony Colten!
Fast facts: Tony has a rather unique system he will use to pick the cases, he will only pick numbers that have no significance to him!
Chosen case: 19!
Round One: Six Cases:
1: $10
9: $1,000
21: $500
26: $5!
6: $100
2: $25,000
This system must be working, because The Banker is scared to death! So scared, he is offering the biggest opening offer in Deal or No Deal history!
A figure so huge, it may shock just about everyone on this forum!
Banker's offer: $80,000!
YES, REALLY!!! EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!
Despite this massive early offer, the response is always the same at this stage...
NO DEAL!
Round Two: Five Cases:
7: .01¢!!!
20: $100,000
13: $200
5: $300
12: $400
The system continues to work extremely well for Tony! The Banker is forced to raise the offer to this astronomical sum...
Banker's offer: $153,000!
YES! SIX FIGURES AFTER JUST TWO ROUNDS!!!!
Already, Tony is faced with a huge decision. He's been offered more money than most people get even after six or seven rounds!
After a lot of thought, Tony decides it's a...
NO DEAL!
Round Three: Four Cases:
18: $50
25: $750,000!!
8: $75,000
11: $1!!
Okay, so the system has stumbled a little bit but The Banker still feels the need to increase the offer even higher to...
Banker's offer: $169,000!
NO DEAL!
Round Four: Three Cases:
14: $1,000,000!!!
17: $400,000
10: $75
OUCH! The system has, at last, failed Tony badly. He's still in high spirits but The Banker makes it clear that the game is still on. He's not letting off the pressure one bit.
Of course, the offer has gone way down. For Case 19, The Banker is prepared to buy it for...
Banker's offer: $94,000!
In a game full of shockers, what Tony does next surprises everyone...
DEAL!
Yes, that's right. Despite a lot of high numbers still on the board, Tony decides to take the offer! His supporters, the audience and even Howie is surprised that Tony would deal so early.
Tony explains that he had exhausted his system of numbers that meant nothing to him with all the remaining ones still in play did indeed host personal significance. Plus, he was afraid his incredible run of luck was starting to turn against him and decided to get out what the getting was good.
Hey, $94,000 is a lot of money and definitely not to be sneered at! Despite how everyone else feels, Tony is still pleased with his winnings.
With all this extra time left over, Howie is permitting a Proveout! Lets see if Tony was right to take the deal at such an early stage with a decent board!
Proveout: Round One: (Two Cases)
16: $10,000
15: $500,000!
So far, so good! Another huge amount would have been removed!
The Final Six:
- $25
- $750
- $5,000
- $50,000
- $200,000
- $300,000
Banker's offer: $78,000!
Dealt at: $94,000!
Proveout: Round Two:
24: $750
Banker's offer: $105,000!
Dealt at: $94,000!
Proveout: Round Three:
23: $50,000
Banker's offer: $126,000!
Dealt at: $94,000!
Proveout: Round Four:
22: $300,000
Banker's offer: $62,000!
Dealt at: $94,000!
Proveout: Round Five:
4: $25
Tony would have been left with an $5,000 or $200,000 final two.
Banker's offer: $102,000!
Dealt at: $94,000!
In this very strange Proveout, Tony did take out huge numbers, but not at the best times. He understood he did not make the best deal when he chose to quit and during the Proveout.
If there was only $5,000 in Case 19, then Tony made a wise deal. If it has $200,000 The Banker has won in a game full of shockers.
Case 19 is opened and is shown to contain...
19: $200,000
Yes, despite The Banker practically surrendering to Tony and being fully prepared to lose, he has somehow beat him!
Tony is still very happy with the money he won. No regrets!
To prove it:
3: $5,000
Game Summary:
Peak offer: $169,000
Case value: $200,000
Prize won: $94,000
Result: Outright Banker Win
And there you have it!
