Trivally easy No Deal there with 2k guaranteed. Not surprised, the Greek Banker who uses a similar offer formula makes borderline joke offers in low stakes stable 3 box situations like this too.

Round 7

Mike asks her wife if she wants to pick the box but she refuses!

9 - John - £2,000

Banker time with £3,000 and £7,500 remaining...

And that's ACB-shaped hole in the wall time for me and any other player that can do maths!

Mike says he thought it may be £5.1k or £5.2k. He says the jump from the offer back down to £3k would be fairly big, but Stephen says £7.5k is still £1.6k more than the offer.

Mike says

DEAL

Stephen opens Mike's box 18 and reveals £7,500

Box 2 with James contains the £3,000

Mike shakes the hands of all the players on the wings.

Good game - proof that you don't need the strongest board to have a good outcome. He regularly took out large amounts in the middle of the game, but came good at the end.

Best game of the week so far imo. Mike was a really nice guy, he will be missed on the wings. I am so glad, things turned around for him. Well done Mike, thanks for your service

I'm really happy for Mike that he turned it around and got a good sum of money out of the game. But...

What on earth is the banker thinking making all these above-mean final offers? Who on earth is going to risk nearly 3k on a coinflip when the upshot is only around half that? Are they just testing to make sure contestants can do basic maths?
