Answers: did anyone see?eeeeeeeeeeek

ha ha ha would loved to have seen that

but he had a lovely day out

Haha

What an idiot.

i didn't see but more fool him!

i always say that i would deal when the offer to £20000 or more because i am a chicken and it's enough money to sort things out so that my hubby and i could live comfortably.

i think people get greedy and then they lose out =(

Yes..... just finished hasnt it.....


I was saying you should take the offer , as he was left with just a 50/50 chance

win or bust

suz

No I never,I bet they are crying now tho,that's allot of money but hey a £1.00 is better than nothing,,,yerrrrrrr right!!!! :(

He had some guts to go all the way and sadly he lost out.
Personally I wouldn`t have swapped.

Avarice . . . the third of the deadly sins

Bad Luck but what a brilliant sense of humour at the end.

they all get to greedy,

I didnt see it, but aww :(

Tis all a game of chance. And it's a pure matter of odds, risk-taking and so forth. He didn't gamble 100K as such - he gambled his last offer - 40Kish and the following outcomes were possible:
1) he picks the £1 - which means his next offer will be between 75K and 100K
2) he picks the £100K which means his next offer will be around 20K or so
3) He picks the £75K (which he did) and his next offer was around 25K.

So he had a one in three chance of improving his current offer to approximately double that of his current - 41 odd.

Otherwise, he was looking at a fall back of approximately half his current offer - around 20ish. (And then the agonising TOTAL gamble at evens of making 3 or 4 times the offered amount).

So, in summary, his options at the 40K stage were:
1) Take the 40K
2) Gamble which means his chances were: a) 33% improving
b) 66% getting less - and then subsequently a respective 50% chance of getting approximately 2-1 return (and the same 50% chance of getting approximately 2.5-1) - or the 50% chance of getting £1.

So at the 40K stage he still had a 1 in 3 chance (2/3 x 1/2) of improving on the 40K if he committed himself to the full gamble. But he also had a 1/3 chance of getting £1.

If you put it to him that it was a coin flip as to whether he would a) improve his offer of 40K or b) get a £1 (given that he's gambling), I wonder whether he would have taken it?

I wouldn't have. 40K was plenty.

And there's little to say about swapping boxes either. That makes no difference to any of the probabilities.

I bet Noel has a better Xmas than he does...

Felt really sorry for him especially when he cried. He should have taken what banker offered or kept his own box.

i hate deal or no deal- do these people really think believing they're going to win will make it happen? Noel Edmunds is a prat too.

Yeah - poor guy.

Sheer bloody guts for giving it a go - but a very sad result.

lets just hope he buys a lotto ticket and win big.

(Sadly the cup did not appear on e-bay - I checked)

Yes, I saw it. I would have accepted £41,000.

Unfortunately it reminded me of the saying "A fool and his money are easily parted". If someone charged £41,000 for a lottery ticket where you could either win £1 or £100,000, nobody would gamble £41,000 for a ticket!

I think that in the end he absolutely convinced himself that a friend was watching over him and that this friend's birth date would have the money in it - and his emotions/false hopes took over from his head.
