Also Bindya's would have been an easy 75K win (for me and quite a few people) but the banker got her out the chair.

Gentleman James - I think pretty much everyone would have got to his £32k and most would probably have gone past it. Same goes for the original Patricia.

Bindya - hard to see anyone winning less than £26k, a majority probably £75k.

Gentleman James - bang on. Ditto Patricia but I think more would have taken her £32k (myself included).

Sandra
- anyone with vague statistical knowledge would have got an easy 100K there.
this thread depends on it including where the banker played a blinder or not.

I think everyone forgets Stella, becuase it was almost but not-quite Brenda's game! :)

Early 06 was odd, the banker did some really silly offers back then, some really high others really low. Actually looking at Fin's game, I can't see that very many would have dealt before the 44k offer ( It would have taken a Beryl to deal the 11k), and very few should have still been playing after it! :-D

Very good point with Fin's game! He got his £44k and then some on 1 vs 100 though, and I quite honestly was gutted!

Another one that springs to mind is Matt (1). £22,500 was the best and even that was rubbish for the board it appeared on :D

I'm not sure whether this counts on this thread, but going along the lines of Anne's game, I assume 95% of us would have got to £75k v £250k in Kelsie's game.

I think Kelsie's game is the only ever game in which I'd definitely have got the quarter-million - the only other possible is Alfie off the top of my head but I think I'd have dealt the 99k. Even with an 160k offer, with 75k back-up, you'd get5 crucified on here for not going for it! :)

And I also think very few would have dealt before 5-box in £70k + 1p Gaz's game too - the offer suddenly went from being quite stingy for the period, to massive!

Justin. Even greeny would've got £250,000 out of this one.

Very good examples there with Gaz (I'd have done what he did) and Kirsty (I'd have probably done what she did).

Justin, yes - most people would have got to £62k and many would have won the £250k. I'd have got £62k. Old-school greeny would have got £62k (the new greeny would indeed have won the biggie).

Kelsie, I'd have won £160k. Glory on my own terms - biggest Deal ever, and I'm remembered by the purists, never get hassled much by the media and I have a sum of money that may as well be £250k to me!

Yup, that's been mentioned before and was definitely an easy mega win with that board. Almost nobody would have won less than the £45k she did, and a big majority would have left with a six-figure sum.

I don't think that an absolutely overwhelming majority would have won at least 62k in Justin's game. All it would have taken in Justin's game for me to have probably dealt the 26k is replace the 20k with a blue. Then it would have been like Jonny's last 5 which a lot of people said they would have dealt!

I was going to say Ellen but the temptation to swap must have been massive!!

I think Keran's was fairly easy - I think the only way not to have got 75k was to swap for 5k, or take a timid deal for 5k at 5-box, which I couldn;t see many people doing.

Oh and anyone failing to get at least 40k out of Louise's game needs their head testing (I won;t say Lance becuase the 25k was dealable at 5-box). Ph and about 90% of us would have got an easy 50k in Colleen's game. (Heck, all those games roll into one for me!)

Oh and Richard - the only way anyone should have got less than 30k was to Wakey it and swap for Box 4...well someone actually would have done that. :)

It was believe me especially as they edited out that I said from the beginning box 12 was my box (which Mary Had) and also that he offered me the swap twice :shock: my head was spinning :-D love Ell xx

I think pretty much has been said but I can think of some more:

Who can forget £101k Graeme's game? :D

Most of the players these days would've dealt at £41,000, while a rare few at £21,000

£35k Lucy is another one, most of them would've gone at £27,500, while some brave people would deal at £35,000, if £105,000 was true, then everyone would've got out of the chair in an instant :suspect:

Crybaby Donna's game has to be the easiest mega win of all time, nuff said and same goes for £70k Gaz, although probably a lot of players would've thrown away the dream scenario :?

I'd have dealt at £21,000.

Pauline's game was quite an easy mega win, had low offers throughout the game (and a £30k offer at 5-box) leading towards £100,000 in the box.

Constance's was also easy for people who would swap, and Martin's was very easy - a low 4th offer on a strong board, followed by two very high offers and an all-power 5 finish. And if his final offer would have been £3,000, then David's from November would have been simple for those who always keep the box...

Gaz, yes, that was an easy mega win. £70k and a penny for me, £100k for quite a few others who just couldn't leave that board.

Graeme's was stupidly not-easy, I'd have gone at £21,000 (as I think I would in Donna's game). Very much agreed on Martin's game too, £50,102 or £102,000 for me.
