I'd have taken the 140!

It's weird...I've always said that I'd go on if the £250K was still on the board, but when, for what must be the first time ever, the banker offers more than the average, I struggle to find a reason for going on, as you have more to lose than you have to gain, so in theory the answer must be obvious? Having said that, the temptation of the jackpot would always be there for me, but with that much to lose, and less to gain, I think I would've taken it...

I would have taken the 140k

Chances of losing 130k. or gaining 110k.

I don't really understand the you have more to loose than you have to gain argument. Surely thinking about it logically that makes sod all difference?

Actually, knowing my luck I would probably have took it if I was offered less anyways. Say 100k...still would deal. Unless I was a lucky twat like that woman not long ago who was left with 50k+250k. Then it would definitely be worth the risk.

I think she was more focused on being a 'winner', like Suzanne was. Like she said, she was there to play the game and she did.

I admired that she went the whole way, I really wanted her to get the £250,000.

No doubt about it, I would have dealt on the 140k!

She probably should've dealt...whether she went with £250k or £140k she still would've been up there in the top winners.

Even so she was brave to gamble, it's a shame she didn't win the £250. But y'know, £10k isn't to be sniffed at :tongue:

Well, Olly Murs won £1 and look what happened to him. So it's all good.

Thing is you can win in different ways - dealing at the highest offer, or going all the way and hoping your box contains the highest sum than all your offers. Dont get hook on the £250k, its very unlikely youll have it (espicially if the game previous brought it to the table!)

Tbh Id probably have dealt at £45k (2 offers before the £140k offer), yepp Id have 'lost' but Id have won £35k more than she ended up doing :amazed:

She must have been well-off for it not to be such a big downfall for her, I have a bit more respect for the value of money and is probably why Id chicken-out :laugh:

Should be the same chance all the time, if the games not fixed :)

Looking at the games individually yeah, but looking at how many times its brought to the table in the row decreases the probability. Its 1/22 x 1/22 (= 0.00207), whereas its more likely to not have it twice in a row: 1/22 x 21/22 (= 0.04339)
