Something I've thought of posting for a while and here it is!

The select few seem to think the rest of this forum are "greedy" dealers and so just to see how much of a wakeyist is really inside all of us, how far would you have gone in the £250,000 games?

14- Sarah- I wouldn't have swapped at the start, however I would have kept 21, and so I would have had £250k in my final 5 at the very least. In Sarah's actual game, I'd have taken £36,400.

Me- £250,000


Also-Morris and Kirsty, would you have swapped?
Morris- I'd have probably stopped at £29,000, if not, definetly £101,000
Kirsty- Again, No Swap, however I'd have been stuck at £51,000.


5 £250,000 wins for me. Not bad

I would have won all of them. Whilst the £250k is on the board wild horses won't get me out of the chair. Its a once in a lifetime chance.

However I suspect I would be the winner of the biggest number of 1p as well

Should have expected that post

Now that's a cracking idea.

1. Natalie-£3,100 £1,700 £10,500 £22,000 £47,000 £110,000
Natalie dealt £22,000

Debbie-£15,000

14- Sarah- I can't assume I'd have chosen the same box, but based on her offers, I'd have taken £36,400.

Daniel- £24,500

Mikey- £25,000
Me- I've forgotten this game... oh. £50,000 or maybe £25,000... or maybe a swappy £3k...

Chris- £22,000

JoJo- £20,000
Me- £130,000

(Morris- I'd have stopped at £101,000
Kirsty- swap for £250,000)

Wouldn't have won the £250k in any of these games, but then I do always swap so of course I wouldn't

I would have won it by swapping in Kathleen's, and also taken a bunch more Germaine-esque Deals at two-box when the players have gone at or before five-box. In some cases this is out of just not caring much about the gap between £250k and a low six-figure amount, or even actively not wanting the publicity of winning £250k.

3. Daz - £45,000
4. Anna - £43,000
5. Germaine - possibly £28,000, otherwise £75,000
6. Bob - £27,000
7. Patricia - £32,000
8. Debbie - tempting at £15,000 but probably £60,000
9. Ingerlise - £30,000
10. Donna - £59,000
11. Claudine - probably £22,777; possibly £44,031
12. Alfie - possibly £20,000, probably £99,000
13. Laura - £250,000
14. Sarah - I'd have not swapped, but I'd have dealt £36,400 on her board.
15. Daniel - almost definitely £24,500, slight chance of £75,000
16. Patrick- very slight chance of £30,001, almost definitely £50,000
17. Kelsie - possibly £160,000, more likely £250,000
18. Jon - £20,000 (fourth offer)

Morris - I'd have dealt at £29,000.
Kirsty - I'd have dealt at £51,000.

Probably 3 or 4 £250k wins for me...

I'd have won it whenever it was in box 5.

Natalie - 47k
Mally - 54k (basicasic, even YOU may have taken it - it was with 20k and 3 blues, i.e. was the mean)
Daz - 45k
Anna - 43k
Germaine - 75k
Bob - 27k
Patricia - 32k
Debbie - 15k
Ingerlise - 30k
Donna - 59k
Claudine - I remember thinking she should take £22,777
Alfie - probably 99k
Laura - £19,999
Sarah - £36,400
Daniel - £22,500 (yes I thought the 3rd offer was an instant deal)
Patrick - 50k
Kelsie - 250k (I'd have got it at least once then!)
Jon - 20k (the same deal he took)
Mikey - 25k
Chris S - not sure on any of the last 3 offers actually but most likely 22k
Sylia - 33k
Kate - 21k
Justin - 62k
Nicola - 88k
Matt - 60k
JoJo - 250k again!!

I'd never risk swapping it away in a month of sundays so can ignore all the ones whre it was in play at 2-box but not at the table. That'll save me a lot of the ones KP will have to look at.

But some extras:

Morris: 101k
Kirsty: 75k
Nev: 41k (as it was hypo swapped for)
Bunney: 42k (at 8-box, ditto)

I would have won it in all of those except Natalies - id have gone at 110k. Mallys i'd have got 54k or his final offer 145k.
Sarahs - because id not swap my box for 21
And possibly Katies since her 96k offer was insane for the current era lol proveout lie.

All the others though I would have got the confetti!

Natalie - £47,000
Mally - £54,000
Daz - £45,000
Anna - Probably £43,000...Possibly £91,000
Germaine - £75,000
Bob - £85,000
Patricia - £92,000
Debbie - Most likely £250,000
Ingerlise - £65,000
Donna - A pretty easy £250,000; only offer that I'd have thought about at all was the £59,000, but I'm sure I'd have no dealed it
Claudine - £107,031
Alfie - £250,000
Laura - £250,000
Sarah - Had I swapped like her, £250,000
Daniel - £250,000
I'm on a roll now!
Patrick - £250,000 easily
Kelsie - £250,000 even more easily
Jon - A reluctant £25,500; I hate dealing non power-5 amounts with the QM in play; I hate dealing with it in play at all, but especially then; however, I'd have really had no choice in that situation
Mikey - Easy £250,000
Chris - Hm...PROBABLY £250,000, if not the £75k
Sylvia - Probably the easiest £250,000 of all of these
Kate - £37,500
Justin - £250,000 unless I was feeling unlucky
Nicola - £88,000 without a doubt
Matt - Again, £250,000 unless I was feeling unlucky
JoJo - £250,000
So I'd have won it just over 50% of the time that it's been on the table. Not bad, not bad.

To be honest, I don't think i'd have won it at all...

Anything under £100K with the QM at 2-box would be worth a gamble and
anything over £100K, I would've dealt

So I would win the QM 21 times

Looking at the ones where a swappy Wakeyist would have had the confetti... at least from the first two seasons...

Maurice: £35,000
Jennifer: £52,000!!! I don't think £33,000 would have been enough but it might have been...
Sara: £55,000
Lee: £17,800 (oops!!)
Max: £17,000 (oops again!)
Nancy: £55,000
Kirsty: £250,000
Gary: £90,000
Morris: £101,000
Tom: £33,000
Drew: £250,000 (I'd totally forgotten about this one!!!)
Paul: £19,000 (yes, third-offer Deal, it was more generous than the one he took!!)
Nev (why hasn't this one been mentioned already?): £41,000!!
David W: £30,000
David: £27,000 or £250,000 (yes, that's either a second-offer Deal or a play-to-the-end)
Tony: £20,000, not sure which one
Lucy: £27,500!!!
Catherine: £21,000
Leanne: £22,500 (would have done what Richard nearly did, but on a far more dangerous board - on BB I suggested doing that 'would have triggered riots in the student quarter of Bristol' from Noel's reaction!)
Georgina: £30,000 or £45,000 (but not the £56,000 she did take!!)
Gaz: £70,000.01
Graeme: £21,000
Rodney: £35,000 or possibly even £30,000!!
Kathleen: £250,000
Maria: £22,015 or £35,000

I'd swap regardless with the £250,000 in the final two so you can instantly rule out the 26 times it's come to the table.

But I've still got jetlag so I'll write up what I'd have done every time it was in the final two.

Debbie (1) - £15,000 deal.
David W - £30,000 or £25,000.
Tracy - Either one of her last 3 offers or £250,000
