He offered 60K to matty and he had 3k fall back.

My guess is when a 1p/250k active finish comes ill bet he offers 26K so in all honesty if that was you would you take it?

Personally i'd tell him to shove it and go for the 250k.

I would no deal £26,000

I'm not sure what I'd do...maybe I'd deal £35k.

I'd no deal £26,000, but I'd find it very hard to turn down if it was £30,000 or more. In some ways, I think I'd prefer it if the banker just offered a swap with that final two, as at least then you'd have no regrets about making the wrong decision with the deal or no deal! :shock:

If the offer was £26,000 then I would probably no deal it.

£26k is a lot of money, but I would want to no deal it and hope the Banker pays big time for hoping his Old Faithful would get me out the chair.

Ah yes!

The old 1p/£250,000 what-if story that has kept both me and Steve pondering on many an occasion online!

He thinks it'd be £26,000 - and I can DEFINITELY see it happening.

I actually think if the Banker had the stones to risk another jackpot winner, he would offer no money...a SWAP!

The latter would DEFINITELY be derisory but you'd be guaranteed to go in the Hall of Fame then! XD

£26,000 would actually be a decision so yeah that'd probably be the offer.

If there was a cash offer.

Does the Banker risk a £250k win and/or the prospect of the game being seen as unfair (thus causing fewer viewers in the future, and hence lower advertising revenue - that's where 'his' money comes from after all, that and merchandise!) by offering a swap on that final two? He might you know.

I sort-of disagree. On both occasions, the offer was £60,000 or thereabouts (I think that was Debbie's hypo offer anyway). Though that was in proveout so the offers were of course inflated.

£26,000 does seem quite low, even if it is 1p/£250k. But then, this is Glenn so you never know how low he can go. Maybe some day he'll offer £900 with the £250k in the final two.

And would I take the £26k? Not a chance. In that position, if I won 1p I'd be going into the hall of fame, and if I won the £250k I'd be going into the hall of fame. But if I won £26,000, I'd go into no hall of fame apart from the £26k club. And though £26,000 is a hell of a lot of money, £250,000 is a hell of a lot more.

I personally would only accept dead on the mean, and we know that's not possible nowadays. So basically no I would not take £26,000, and I would be a man and go for it.

26K pph sod it - 26K is a large amount and it would take me a long time to earn it but I have decent current circumstances and would rather gamble than being insulted. 50/55K+ now thats a tricky decision.

26K is just making it easy for me.

No Deal, I think. And swap. Not for any KP-style conspiracy theory reasons, just that it doesn't actually change the odds at all and if I'm not going to win £250k then I'd quite like to go down in history as the idiot who swapped it for 1p...

I wouldn't approve that offer not purely because of the 'unfairness' but because it would either be an induced 1p/250K win and either outcome would be crap.

I'd have to agree, even if in fairness it is Dealable (near enough anything is a Deal for some and a No Deal for others on this finish, though).

I really wouldn't want to Deal, but I might... although in the studio I suspect I'd be effectively coerced into No Dealing.

Well, I would expect an offer around £50,000-£57,500

If it was lower than £50K, I would No Deal and no swap to win £250K :D

Unless you have 1p in your box.

Anyway, what Jonny said, followed by what Daniel said.
