Deal or No Deal - 3rd-9th December

Again, nothing terribly memorable this week, so just a quick summary.

Monday 3rd: Mike
Winnings: £24,000
Dealt at: 8-box
Highest offer: £42,000 (5-box)
Box value: £1

A good game, where Mike did go one round too soon, but would have crashed if he’d gone any further than that, so a good enough result.

Tuesday 4th: Sue
Winnings: £20,000
Dealt at: 5-box
Highest offer: £32,000 (2-box)
Box value: £75,000

Another one for the list of ‘games where a sensible deal is made to look bad by big money being in the box’.

Wednesday 5th: Adamu
Winnings: £13,000
Dealt at: 2-box
Highest offer: £13,000 (2-box)
Box value: £35,000

Very nearly a long overdue Power 5 win. It’s just a shame Adamu, a very passionate and lively player, didn’t go for the other box at 3-box, and leave £10,000 to the end instead of £1,000, as then he may have gone for it. Shame, but still a very tense exciting game.

Thursday 6th: Carla
Winnings: £4,000
Dealt at: 8-box
Highest offer: £12,000 (5-box)
Box value: £10,000

Carla was nice enough, but she was all over the place in her game. After very nearly taking the second offer of £7,000, she crashed slightly, but recovered to £4,000 at 8-box. She no dealt by mistake, then immediately corrected herself. When Noel asked her the question again, this time she dealt. Overall, a rather unfortunate affair, though not the fault of anyone involved.

Friday 7th: Hardik
Winnings: £20,000
Dealt at: 8-box
Highest offer: £26,000 (5-box)
Box value: £1,000

Now this was more like it. I very much doubt Hardik would be bothered about missing out on £6,000. The difference is small enough to not make much difference. Good game.

Sunday 9th: Marion
Winnings: £19,200
Dealt at: 5-box
Highest offer: £19,200 (5-box)
Box value: £250

Now that’s how you play the game. It was brave of Marion to turn down £9,000 on such a precarious board, but it paid off nicely, which saw a rise to a £19,200, which she quickly and sensibly took. And, for the first time this week, the proveout undeniably went her way. A good game to finish off the week.
