I saw this when I put myself on 'gardening leave' last week. The show is tremendous and needs to be given a prime time slot. I was instantly hooked. I don't normally like NE either, but I think that he is quite a good host on this. GAMBLE GAMBLE - YOU GOTTA GAMBLE  |

Okay I'm hooked.
Lady ended up with £100k and £250k in her last 2 boxes.
Shame she'd already done a deal for 31k. hehe.

the pot odds are usually favourable. today for example the final coin flip was £8500 up to £20000. evens is obviously £17000 but if the alternative is taking home 1p I'm afraid I have to decline the spin. the only time I could see myself refusing the final deal is if I have two bankroll changing sums of money. say £75000 / £100000 you're likely to get offered £85000. if £75000 is worst case I think I'd take the coin flip. at the end of the day its £75k in your pocket and the other £10k at 5/2 on an even money shot. let 'em roll

How do you arrive at £17000? 50% chance of £1. 50% chance of £20000. Offer £8500. Real odds were £10000.50p on a coin flip? Or have I missed something? |

there are two boxes, one has 1p (effectively nothing) in and the other £20k. you have £8500. if you were getting even money on your 50/50 shot you'd be getting £17000 wouldn't you? as it goes, the pay off is better than that.
you have to treat the bankers offer as your stake because you can take that without proceeding with the gamble.
