Oh you are taking the piss! QTT at 3:41 means a blatantly OBVIOUS deal! >:(
That's more like the old GCT we know,you've been very quiet of late.:)
He was lucky to get away with that. Go the other way at three boxes and he'd have been looking at an offer of about thirty-five thousand. But then if you deal for only a third of the average at eight boxes with the £250K and £75K still there,you do have to get lucky. You've basically got to lose at least one of them in the next round,and then the other one in the round after that,for your deal to work out.
Had he gone to the end he'd have ended up with only four thousand less than his deal,hardly a disaster.

At least it's the first Banker Spanking in the conventional game in over a month.:) Besides, the board Aktar had at 8 box was very precarious, as it was a two box game and 4 of the Banker's Power 5 was still in play.

Well he still had two big reds left,and two support reds. The chance he loses both the big reds in the next round is only about ten percent. If that happens,he's unlucky,but these are the chances you have to be prepared to take in this game if you want to win serious money. As it was,he lost the £250K,but kept the other three reds. It certainly wasn't a disaster round,in fact his average at that point was £18K - still £4K more than he had dealt at with the £250K still in play.
As far as the Banker's "Power 5" is concerned,well I regard that as a load of nonsense,frankly. Anyone going on this show trying to win serious money should be treating all the blues as the same and not attaching any special significance to the 1p or the 50p or whatever. If you are potentially playing for tens of thousands,and you lose,does it really matter if you end up with 1p or £100? No. Even less so now that all the blues get played on Box23.
Anyone on DOND who worries about winning the penny if it's still there after the first couple of rounds will almost certainly not win serious money.
Almost a carbon copy of yesterday. The £250K left,another high red,and two support reds left at eight boxes. And pretty much the same deal for barely more than a third of the average.
I can't believe Noel expects more players to buy Box 23 just because +£10,000 has come up twice.
There are people who will believe that +£10K is "hot",and is coming up more often,so people should take advantage of the trend.
And there are others who believe that one of the ones that hasn't come up for a while is "due".
Both beliefs are fallacious,but there are a lot of people that believe them,despite a total lack of evidence that they are true.
There is as much chance of a scientist or statistician finding any evidence that the maturity of chances is true as there is of a zoologist finding a tartan elephant in the wild.
