Part of the fun of hosting this particular game has been how you've walked us through your entire thought process. I've very much enjoyed that.

And yeah, sometimes you have to throw caution to the wind and just go for it. Stats and analysis will only get you so far in a game like this, which you're no doubt well aware of.

Looking through past games played on this forum, a $300,000 win would place you third on the all-time money winners' list. In previous games, daniel123 won the jackpot, while Skyline took home $400,000. Still, $325,500 is a nice chunk of change, no matter how your slice it.

So, without further ado, let's open case 19...

*RING*

Bonjour. Vraiment? D'accord. Merci, monsieur.

Looks like the French guy is not going down without a fight, Ben. Look what he's offered you now.

BANKER'S OFFER

SWAP

Swap or no swap?

NO SWAP, please.

No Swap, says the man who comes from a country whose dollar is worth much more than the Canadian equivalent at the moment.

No Swap, says the man whose mathematical and analytical knowledge I wish I possessed.

No Swap, says the man who has given us quite a game.

From the very outset, you believed in case 19, thinking that it would bring you riches. And now, we are about to find out if, in fact, that is true.

Let's see just how strong that belief was.

Inside case 19, there is...


































$300,000!!!

You did it! Perseverance paid off, and it landed you a fantastic payday. Congratulations, Ben !

And just to complete the game, the $25,000 was in case 9.

Put that together with the $25,500 in prizes you already won, and you leave us tonight with a grand total of $325,500 in cash and stuff. Phenomenal stuff there, old chap .

Ben's belief in his case has made him the third-highest winner in the history of this program. Will our next contestant be able to replicate that feat? Find out next time on Le Banquier: The Forum Plays. Until then, this is Mark David saying good night, and good deals.

YES, YES, YES!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for hosting a great game, Mark, and thank you Banker for giving me a good scrap. I was tempted by all of the last 5 offers, but I know each time there was room to chase the game and thankfully the boxes fell just good enough for me to go all the way and claim the $300,000 in my case.
