Flip-o-blimey what a board! Worth playing out for now certainly - I'm sure a £35k+ offer will be coming later, although it might not be the next one.

I was expecting a lot more, not worth dealing IMO.

Noel asks why is the banker putting so much on the £20,000 going? As the offer could have shot up there really... Robin gives Stephen some advice, and says it's an excellent offer... Stephen asks if they can wheel out the £25,000 so he can feel it a bit The banker calls back and says if he gave Stephen £1 every second now, then they would be there until midnight until he got it all....


Stephen says

NO DEAL

What did he have in his box yesterday and day before please as I can't remember?

you can see him thinking...f--k didnt expect this board.

hope it works out for him!

Next round

15 - £5,000

18 - £15,000

Stephen asks if it time for a break, and Noel replies that he doesn't have to if he wants to carry on. Stephen picks Irene next so that she has to stand on her little platform until after the break!!!

Noel then calls the break...

Was 1 in 165 of an all red final eight. Now, it's a 1 in 56 for an all red squashdown.

He had £20,000 yesterday that's for sure. I think £1,000 the day before.

£20,000 yesterday and £1,000 on Monday

Here is his complete record http://www.ilovedealornodeal.co.uk/users.php?user=314

This has to be one of the strongest boards for a while at this point (I cant remeber exactly what Daniel had) ... but still here it is for anyone who hasnt got to a telly (or is looking back at this game after it becomes a classic)

If he takes out a blue next the mean will rise to £64kish, FD to £38kish and Noel's head is going to explode...

Sorry, the odds on an all-red squashdown aren't 1 in 56 (that's the odds of an all-red final five if this next one is red).

The odds on an all-red squashdown are in fact (3/9)*(2/8 )*(1/7) = (1/3)*(1/4)*(1/7) = 1 in 84.

The perfect final five is (4/9)*(3/8 )*(2/7)*(1/6) = 24/3024 = 1 in 126.

We're back
Last box before the banker...

19 - £100,000 YUCK says Noel

Banker time

This is where we really find out what the banker thinks of you says Noel... The banker wants Stephen to think about this offer very carefully indeed...

Banker offers

£20,000

And by the time I edited that it became impossible. Bah.

A reality check, sure, but I'd almost look at that as being useful in that it'll no doubt trigger a forcing offer...

Not so good...

Oops, forgot we were at 9-box rather than 8-box. I mistook a 9 as a 6.

...but twenty grand on this board is an offer that only Beryl, or someone who believes the Banker knows where the money is, could even contemplate.

He's probably gone.

And hes gone.

There are a few groans for that offer, and Noel says he knew there would be that reaction, but Stephen needs to think carefully about this offer... Robin offers more advice, and again says that Stephen should think about this... Stephen goes for a sweep of the wings... There is a mix of replies...

Robin says that he should deal, and Stephen asks why. Robin replies that HE should deal as it would set him up nicely in life...

Stephen says
