erm hope that misinformation from the banker didn't sway her into dealing... 'likelihood of an all red round'. Odds are only 36%.

Pleased that Stacey got a nice amount of money out of it, I know it's easy to say well you had £100,000 in her box but Stacey wasn't a gambler and I don't think she would ever have gambled to get what was in her box. Lovely, positive, smiley lady, pleased for her.

Quite right

Odds of:
2 blues/1 red 10.7%
1 blue/2 reds 53.6%
3 reds 35.7%

Shame there wasn't a Statsman in the audience to corrent the banker.

I though £22k was a decent offer - however has she taken out the £250k but left one of the blues (especially the 1p), the offer would have been in the low teens at best so there was justification for going on today at 8-box.

Can't blame Stacey for taking that deal, Think it was arguable either way. Of course with hindsight it was the wrong move but hindsight makes Banker Spankers of us all. A nice enough game with a very bubbly contestant

Noticed there was an editing slip-up with the on screen graphics when the the £15,000 was found. It was removed from the on screen graphics as normal, but then briefly reappeared just before Fred opened his box.

Haha! If you're perchance referring to me, I was probably too busy working out averages, or following the unwritten 'rule' of pilgrim etiquette of not speaking unless spoken to. Or I was just a bit of a wimp. I forget, it was over 5 months ago now! I remember being sat next to Stacey's mum at the start of this show 'east-side' - I seem to have a habit of sitting next to contestant's relatives on visits, and it's fun to see their reactions!

Anyway, interesting call - at the time, I thought it was a decent offer without being spectacular, the main question was how £100k going would affect the offer - of course, it should increase, but I couldn't see the banker offering much more than 30k. I think I'd have been tempted by the 6/2 split to go on, but the more I think about it, the more I think it looked deceptively stronger than it actually was. Not often you would leave an all-red 5 box and be slightly disappointed!

Talking coincidences, I remember seeing that 5k/100k finish at the Dream Factory before in Noel's game (Irish chap who was a bit bonkers!), also in the proveout, and also having 100k on the table (although his hypo offer at 2-box was just 25k). Not particularly remarkable in itself granted, but I have also seen a couple of other repeated 2-box combinations on previous visits (this in no way intimates whether they appear again in future unbroadcast games, by the way!)

£250/£15k: Kerry, Jaron
50p/£50: Danielle, Helen

So, my question to fellow statisticians is: What are the odds of THREE duplicate 2-box finishes in the 27 games of mine that have been broadcast so far...?

Good question. Taking out three games with separate finishes, that involves finding each of the three duplicates in the remaining 24... I don't even know how to approach the question beyond that

What I do know is how to approach that eight-box - I saw it as basically Donna's board with added oranges, £21k was marginal in her situation, I'd have declined £22k with slightly more haste than it warranted, with more than one eye on getting - and then taking - a good five-box offer...

...which would have happened, but for £4k less!
