It could have easily gone the other way, its aggrivating when some users say "The player was greedy" when they decline a big sum of money and win a blue, and are called "cowards" when their deal prooves to be a bad one. There's no winning with some players. Tolleck played the game the way eh wanted. Yeah he had a back up of £35,000 and £3,000 but the offer (if the 1/4 mil went) would have been no way near £9,000 unless he kept the £35,000 till the last round.
It could have easily gone the other way? Yes. It could have. But both happen just as frequently, and 241,000 is FAR, FAR BIGGER than 8,999.99. If you can't figure that out, you're the biggest idiot I know. And I've seen plenty of utter morons on both yours and our versions of DonD.
The offer was also nowhere near 9,000 if the 250K *didn't* go away, which is 67% more likely, and by a much further margin away from 9,000 than it would if the 250K was out. 9,000, or a choice of: ([40,000 * 5/3] | 4,500)? Plug that into your calculator, please.
Hey, no need to call me a Moron. Also, I do admit it was a bad deal, even before the made the decision but I don't think any of us give the contestants any credit; I mean the emotional element must play a huge role when they are sat there. I mean its so easy to say "No deal" at home, but when it's actually YOU playing, I doubt its just as simple.
Yeah he lost out on £241,000 but atleast he went away with a sum that is nice for him, he dealt at it for a reason, he must be happy with it.
@quadrupleplay That's not how you determine a sensible deal. Imagine getting £120,000 as the first offer after five boxes went, with the £250,000 still in play. Would you say No Deal just because £250,000 - £120,000 > £120,000 - 1p?
That 9,000, times eight boxes, didn't even add up to one-third of 250,000. Plus there's 35,000 and 3,000 to deal with. That comes out to not even 25% of the mean offer.
We do get a lot of "bad" deals over here in the UK, the contestants are very scared of taking home a small value of money, where they can take a few grand and run, which in some cases, may be the thing to do. This guy probably really needed it.
The offer, though, is only going to drop by about half (the real mean is 5,629) if he runs into the 250K. If he removes three other amounts, the average remaining box total is 272,514 with 5 boxes. That becomes over 52,500, or likely about 40,000 in real time.
So we have the offer quadrupling 73% of the time, and the offer falling in half 27% of the time. That is a ratio of 286 to 13.5, or 572 to 27.
That is more than 20-1 against. Horrifically stupid decision...
@quadrupleplay It's not just about the "mean" of the boxes. It wouldn't have mattered; there were only two values higher than £9,000, which he couldn't risk losing.
Not the worst deal iv seen

I didn't. I'm saying that if you can't figure out that 250,000 - 9,000 > (by a lot!) 9,000 - 1p, you would be a moron.
