We're back! Staying in is the new going out, and we're ready to see PAUL try and lock down a huge win! But the Banker wants to keep his piles quarantined too...

It starts, as always, with The Configurator. 1-4 for each of your four choices, covering a player power, Banker power, offer pattern, and money menu.

Let’s go with the classic formation

1-4-4-2

(Day 14 with no football, I may miss it slightly too much already)

This is your game lineup:

"What do you make of that Alan?"

"Well, funnily enough he might almost want that Banker power to be relevant, it means any round of three or more boxes that's all-blue will see a random red replaced by the highest of the blues taken out... can't change the jackpot that way though, so that's something! And he'll want to make use of those Booster Bids, gives him two predictions before 5-box, one of them increases all the non-jackpot reds if he predicts well enough and the other could give a straight increase to any winnings after Box 25!"

"Speaking of Box 25, Draft Mode, that's a really interesting one that might need a bit of explanation."

"Yeah, it's quite simple really - you get two choices between pairs of Box 25 options, and you pick one, and then you get two sets of three and you pick one of those to complete the menu. Could make for a really interesting finish!"

"And the game mode, Extended UK, so 5-3-3-3-3-3-2 is the offer pattern. Dangerous?"

"Well it could be Martin, certainly with that Banker power being available for six rounds, but he does at least get to make those Booster Bids any time up to 7-box, the offer after that is 4-box."

"The board, for now, is unchanged from the classic setup..."

"...and our independent adjudicator has put Box 7 on the table, for Game 7! Paul Watkins is ready to take on the Banker and win a life-changing sum of money... AND IT'S LIVE!"

We begin with the Draft Mode opening, of course.

Your Box 25 will feature ONE of these pairs...

ADD HALF/-£2,000
+£1,000/75%

Choose one!

The first one please!

Sets up nicely with any kind of stake... and here's the two options to complete that menu!

QUADRUPLE/20%/NOTHING
+£7,500/+£2,500/NOTHING

Well there's a decision. We know you'll risk it all if you do buy 25, but what kind of setup do you prefer?

Second one, at least the positive options outnumber the negatives.

Which means this is your money menu:

ADD HALF
+£7,500
+£2,500
-£2,000
NOTHING

Box 7 on the table, five in round one... GAME ON!

‘Over to Merse at Molineux’

‘Yeah, it’s 1-0 Wolves and what a team goal it was’

The move started with 24, down the line to 20, a beautifully crafted pass by 1, headed down by 3 and finally fired in the top corner by that man 5

Box 24 - £150,000! Early strike for the Banker here...

Box 20 - £250 is more like it!

Box 1 - £25 is another blue...

Box 3 - £50! Will it just be the one hit in round one?

Box 5 - £5! It certainly will, and that instant player agony has given way to some Banker bleeding...

The colour balance certainly looks better, and of course the red side looks normal now!

You have two predictions to use, in either order - your Board Boost which increases everything on the board by 20% minus your error, and the Win Boost which increases your total winnings by 10% minus your error. They can be used in either order once each, but is this the time for either of them?

Let’s give this a go!
