Man, this week has been against the odds week.

First Jake's opening round and subsequent run of 8 reds, then Graham's lucky break with the Banker's Gamble, and now the 1 in 364 nightmare 3rd round.

Now the mean has crashed to £3,570.08

I've got a feeling that it's case is "is box 23 going to save the day?"

ROUND 5

Box 1 - Gary - £15,000
Box 6 - Callum - £50
Box 20 - Steven - £500

Would you have taken £999?

That's a shame.

At least she got a red out of that VERY unlucky game, though.

she salvaged something out of a very unfortunate game the luck ran out for the dream factory today

Reminder - Only two shows next week due to horseracing

OK result from a pretty unfortunate game.

Ever since the Sunday shows were completely dropped back in October, The DoND weeks are just getting shorter and shorter! How many random breaks have they taken now since the weekend shows were ditched?!

I'm honestly getting a bit tired of them taking all these random breaks at times which they wouldn't in previous years, to cater for some sporting event that probably a few thousand people at the very most care about. It was one thing them reducing it to 5 shows a week back in October, but recently, almost every second week has been shorter than that, and sometimes they've only had 3, 2 or even ONE show in a week

They're probably doing this instead of giving the show a summer break; the total number of shows missed over the year is not far from how many were skipped in July/August previously. It kind of makes sense as sometimes people would forget who was on the wings after 4 weeks away.
