Stingy as usual

BANKER'S OFFER

£5,147

Stipulation - If James goes on and has the perfect round he will get the guv'nor

James says NO DEAL

Judging by the time of that answer...looks like the £50,000 will be there at two box.

Governor is pants for a £15,000/£50,000 finish!

Or he takes Box 23?

CLOSING ROUND

Box 9 - Lynne - £1
Box 14 - Dana - £100
Box 15 - Laura (newbie) - £15,000

Banker time with £250 and £50,000 left in the game

That's just about enough for me to deal.

Is he going to be very brave and go for it...?

Banker says he lied and it would have been £28,000 if it had been a perfect round

BANKER'S OFFER

£14,147

James says DEAL

Another power five winner denied you could see he was very tempted.

Box 21 - £50,000
Box 22 - Michael - £250

Box 23 time

Unlucky final result from reasonable decision making.

Now, what will Box 23 have to offer?

Box 23 - NO DEAL

Contents - DOUBLE

Ah, should've gone for it. Still a reasonable enough result.

Another bad choice for box 23 YET again....

Looks like DOND is back to it's old 4PM slot from Monday.

The second game in a row that the player managed to rescue a five figure from a game that seemed unlikely to take off at one point, only to be undermined by the big money being in their box and Box 23 containing a red.

Still, I'd much prefer two games like this to 2 more blue wins which would've set a record for the longest run of blue wins.

I actually liked the twist thing with the offers today!

All credit for getting to the final of the Under-21 World Championship, that's actually quite something. I've thought of such things myself, but with a highest break of 27, I'm, er...practicing a bit more at the moment...

All credit for this game today, too. Not a bad result at all, although even I'm a bit frustrated with these offers...

Awww... My highest break is 32 Dan, perhaps I could give you a game one of these days, being in neighbouring counties and all that!

Perhaps indeed, Monsieur Smith!

Towards the end James said he thought the £50k was in the remaining box; if he had said No Deal would the Banker have offered the swap and would James have taken it?
Different outcome altogether!
