Monday 10th: Jason
Winnings: £12,250
Dealt at: 5-box
Highest offer: £16,000 (14-box)
Box value: £100
Nothing terribly memorable, but a
decent enough result from a sensible deal. And, by the standards of recent
games, that’s good enough to satisfy most.Tuesday 11th: Ben
Winnings: £6,000
Dealt at: 2-box
Highest offer: £9,000 (14-box)
Box value: 50p
Ben had a bit of a struggle, with
four blues and £15,000 at 5-box. After Ben turned down the obligatory low offer
in the hundreds, the Banker made a guarantee for on offer of £6,000 if the £15,000
stayed to 2-box. It did, and Ben got his well-deserved bailout. A good result
from a pretty unlucky game.Wednesday 12th: Lucia
Winnings: £17,000
Dealt at: 5-box
Highest offer: £34,000 (2-box)
Box value: £100,000
Didn’t see much of this game, as I
got home late. But when Lucia was faced with a 5-box of £100,000 and not much
else, the Banker offered a very generous £17,000, which Lucia sensibly took.
Chalk up another ‘game where a sensible deal is made to look bad by a big sum
being on the table’.
Winnings: £9,000
Dealt at: 8-box
Highest offer: £42,000 (2-box)
Box value: £35,000
Winnings: £1
Opened the box
Highest offer: £6,500 (11-box)
Box value: £1
Sunday 16th: Hannah
Winnings: £1,313
Dealt at: 5-box
Highest offer: £13,000 (14-box and
11-box)
Box value: £750
It’s a shame that, after the brave but not stupid gamble at 11-box that the game should fall apart so quickly and dramatically. But £1,313 was a very respectable offer given that only £3,000 and £5,000 were higher. After leaving £750 and £3,000, the Banker have her the chance to give back the money and gamble, which she didn’t do, even though, statistically, it was probably a risk worth taking.
So, again, a week of pretty average
run-of-the-mill games. Hopefully, next week we will get some good shows to send
us into the Christmas specials, which begin on Christmas Eve, on a high.
