Well, after last week's great results, things seemed a little bit more average this week.
Monday 14th: Mike
Winnings: £5,000
Dealt at: 5-box
Highest offer: £17,000 (14-box)
Box value: £15,000
An unfortunate game, and a very rare Player spanking, where the players deals their lowest offer, and undersells their box. Not a bad call by Mike, but just unlucky really that his game fell apart after the second offer.
Tuesday 15th: Jean
Winnings: £12,000
Dealt at: 8-box
Highest offer: £15,000 (5-box)
Box value: 10p
A good enough result from a reasonable decision, and I very much doubt Jean would be bothered about only missing out on £3,000.
Wednesday 16th: Leo
Winnings: £8,250
Dealt at: 8-box
Highest offer: £18,000 (5-box)
Box value: £20,000
Leo was an entertaining enough player, and his deal was sensible enough. Unlucky that the proveout didn't go his way, but he didn't seem that bothered.
Thursday 17th: Lynda
Winnings: £5,000
Dealt at: 8-box
Highest offer: £71,000 (2-box)
Box value: £1
Terribly unlucky really. Lynda lost most of the big money, but kept the £250,000, leaving it exposed. Her decision to back out at £5,000 was cautious, but understandable. Unlucky to keep the Jackpot all the way to 2-box, but at least it wasn't in her box. If it had been, it would have been the Banker's biggest victory of all time!
Friday 18th: Myyles
Winnings: £9,000
Dealt at: 5-box
Highest offer: £34,000 (2-box)
Box value: £50,000
Another unlucky proveout. Myyles was initially offered £9,500 at 5-box, but was docked £500 after he remarked that the offer was the same as the 8-box one. £9,000 was still a sensible deal, and it was horrendously unlucky, having dealt, to have the 5% best possible proveout (10% best possible round, and 50% of having the higher sum).
Sunday 20th: Trev
Winnings: £9,000
Dealt at: 5-box
Highest offer: £9,000
Box value: £250
Nice to finish the week with a Banker spanking. Trev's game was pretty unlucky, and looked like a trainwreck, but he managed to pull off the perfect fifth round, which saw the offer shoot up to £9,000, which he took.
Overall, a middle-of-the-road week for the show; nothing memorable, but nothing horrific either. Has the good luck from the past few weeks run out now? We'll have to wait and see.
A remarkably quiet week for the show in gameplay terms, really (aside from Lynda's proveout) - a smallest win of £5k and a largest win of £12k is not something I can recall the likes of before. Five four-figure wins in a week must be a record!
