£55,000 is RUBBISH!

PROVEOUT (Closing round)

Box 17 - Holly - £100,000
Box 10 - Ritchie - £20,000
Box 22 - Tom - £250,000

Banker time with 10p and £50,000 left in the game

£55,000 would've been a reluctant Deal for me without the offer button in play.

There's no way he's brave to deal 23.

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£13,000

Hypothetical swap is taken

Box 21 comes to the table

Box 21 - £50,000
Box 6 - Amir -10p

Box 23 time

Anyone with an ounce of sanity would know not to risk £35,000 on Box 23!

I feel DOUBLE. Can't see it being +£10,000 like the previous three games.

Box 23 - NO DEAL

Contents - MONEY BACK

Great game.

4 reds in Box 23 this week.

A fantastic game today with an inspirational guy who did a sensible deal. Unlucky to only find one of the power 5 before 5 box. But 35k is lovely money!. Enjoy the money Ross well done and have a nice life.

Interestingly enough, this is the first Power 5 level Deal at 8 box since August 2012.

Of course, we have the mid-2013/EARLY 2014 Banker to thank for the most part for that.

Excellent result from a pretty decent game.

I doubt he would've changed his mind about dealing or not if The Banker had phoned up and told him the percentage at that point.

Say if there was £10, 1K, 3K, 5K and 250K left. Would you turn down an offer of 90K on the basis there was an 80% chance of having a red?

You've got to stop being dazzled by the colours and concentrate on the amounts.

Players should decide what to do by seeing what amounts are left, not what colours are left!

Totally agree Brian. Who chooses these 'Dull as old dishwater' players who offer no entertainment value whatsoever?

Good grief, don't you guys have any respect for people? He won £35,000, which is more than what 90% of contestants win and is in the life-changing money territory for most people (including me and obviously Ross). The fact that he won it through dealing on a strong 8 box does not suddenly make it a terrible decision. In fact, Tendai declined £35,000 on a very similar 8 box earlier this year and ended up crashing to a HALF PENNY. Would you have rather seen that happen?
