Fairly dull game today but that's probably just compared to yesterday.

Second anniversary of Laura's game tomorrow. Let's hope it isn't as disappointing as the first anniversary, in which Deano dealt at a miserable £1,400.

That 15,000 offer was rubbish it shouldve been in the 20s i know he took out of two of the powerfive but still he had the 2 big uns still there i remember donnas game she got a offer of 21,000 with a identical board everyone knows that the offers are slipping the question is why my money is on because they got fined for the phone lines been fixed but overall an ok game i wouldve gone on at 15k but i understand why he dealt.

I'd have declined £15,000 and if my game panned out like he's would have dealt at £7,500. £15k was a rubbish offer it should have been £19,000 atleast.

Donna's game was similar i agree and i have seen some games like that in the past where the offer has been more than £15k. The reason Williams offer was low is bcuz the banker knew by his emotions and ambitions that he really needed the money and was not prepared to gamble all the way. Plus i'm happy for him remember it's not our money and it's easy to say no deal and gamble at home, in the eastwing/westwing and where the audience sit. £15,000 will make a big differences in his life it may not be life changing but it will certainly make his life easier. Although i wished he had gone one more round, we can't expect everyone to be brave like Mary yesterday.

i would always carry on if i had the two big ones in play.

what if the offer(8 box)was say £30,000 though would you carry on then.

Joe what wud my board look like what wud i have left in play tel me n ill give u a straight answer.

if u mean todays game i wud probally go on 1 more round and see how it goes and if my offer did go down i wud clearly go all the way after that.

the only offer id take with that board at 8 box is £35,000 nothing lower im not a greedy person but i would aways want to spank the banker with a big sale ul find how brave i am soon wen i get on the show ive applied 4 the show

did every 1 see the bankers latest gimmick 2day. kate was left with the £5 and the £100k and the banker only offered her £17,500. she understandably thought about getting more from him so she spoke 2 him and quoted £25k. and he went and said that he would increase the offer only if she dealt. so she did and it turned out he only increased it by £2,500. and 2 make matters worse she had the £100k in her box. i'll bet it was another attempt 2 haul in the viewing figures

I personally think it added a new twist to her game although, I hope the banker doesn't make a habit of it as it may breach the rules.

Thursday 8th January is the 118th game in the season. The average payout in the 118th episode of each of the first three seasons is £187, which is the lowest average for any episode number. Incidentally, the episode number with the highest average payout in the first three seasons is #117, which has an average of £105,000.

Trest i did mean that board by the way

ok i assume u did Joe nah £30,000 id go on £35,000+ id deal nefink under that id go on im not a greedy person like i sed i wud just want to beat him by a fantastic margin if u get what i mean im just lookin forward to gettin on the show because i appied for nearly a week ago but it cud take me a while to get on too wish me luck all lol.

applied spellin error i just thought id tell u all my real name by the way trest is just a nickname and thats my details so ull know hu ill be wen my show is on this was bit random but i fought u lot mite be interested to know.

Listen then Trest let me give you some advice if u get to the show. Don't show any emotions, don't ask people for advice or your partner/friend to come down and advise you and certainly don't let the banker know anything too much about you i.e what you do, what hobbies and interests and wether your a dealer/no dealer and prepared to go all the way. If you remember Germaine from season 1 around March, Khanny from Season 2 September and even Daniel from Season 3 August then play it in the same style as there's. That way the banker won't be able to read you and may take you seriously and might get good offers depending on the board.

thanks for that Joe yes i do remember germaines £75,000 with a £1 and £250,000 he dealt and had the £250,000 in box i missed khannys game but i manage to catch it in the end and Daniels definelty thanks for all that advice joe.

I have just noticed something else about this game. He did an all blue opening round right and got an offer of £12,500 which i know seems a lot. But if you see Khanny and Matt's game they did an all blue opening round and got offers of £16,000 and £20,000.

Joe like I have sad many times before the offers have become lower due to the closing of the phone in scams, you'll notice the offers dropped ever since they were fined £500,000 for the scam and also contestants lowered their expectations and if he offered anything like he did in season 1-2, we'd see no-one go past the 2nd round! Ultimatley the banker's new job (from late season 3) has been to push people to gamble. I mean a 1/4 million and a low red climax eg Graham's scenario was given an offer of £101,000 ...and when another guy did it (forgot who) got offered in the £60,000 region. Another example: Jennifer Miller: £750-1/4 million climax and she was offered £120,000 and Rodney who played later replicated her scenario but was "only" offered £85,000

said* Sorry for that spelling error.

It's ok DOND i heard you before, it just annoys me sometimes and i like to get it off my chest. But surely there must be a way into persuading the banker into offering high offers, maybe if a player has the desire to go all the way like Alan did and got £24k as did this other bloke recently and got £24k.

Yeah if you think theres the 1/4 million in your box or something, good point. Erm, if I tried to get higher offers I'd pretend I'm psychic or even be a white withc lol, like Pam.

Then again the banker might not believe you, he may think you're only saying that just to make me into giving high offers. Some say it requires skill and getting the banker's attention into giving high offers, but just be careful not to give too much information away.
