When the contestant finally deals, then goes through the boxes, ever notice that the amount the Banker WOULD have offered seems extremely generous? Its almost as though they want to highlight 'what you could have won if you played on' when realistically they would never have been offered that amount.
On the UK show, a woman had 2 boxes - one containing something like £3000, one containing the £250,000 and she was offered £42,000.
Then on another show one person dealt, then played through and was left with 2 boxes. One had £1000, the other £250,000 and they said the banker would have offered £85,000. How does that work? How can you account for such a vast descripency???
The whole thing is fixed. And I also while Im ranting, why does Noel Edmunds (UK) go 'You have to come back to see whether the deal was the correct one or tragically wrong!' when he throws to a break.
Who cares!!!! The deal is made, the rest of the show is a moot point.

Noel doesn't know whats in the boxes. He may have just had a hunch one way or another, or he might have just been saying any random line to make the show sound more interesting. I dont think its a fix, purely because of noel's shirts. . . no-one with a dress sense that unusual would have the intelligence to fix a hugely popular tv show. However the man is still a legend, long live noel.

Do you really think there is someone upstairs calculating out the bankers offers? Nah, I believe they have a computer program that they put the amounts into that have been chosen, and it spits out an offer based on the probabilities of what is remaining. No human intervention required. Then they take that number on occasion and add a little bit to it, so that they can say "this is our highest round 1 offer ever!".

I really don't think the game is fixed, but i never understood how at the end they go "and this is what you would have been offered." Maybe the banker calculates it someway before the show starts, without knowing what the contestant is going to open, or maybe once the cases start getting lower, he calculates with whats left.

I finally figured out how this show is rigged. A contestant will NEVER win the highest possible amount, because of the offers the banker (so called) makes. These offers are irristable. If you show me a person who is going to turn down $500,000 for a non guarenteed chance at 5m, I will show you a moron.

I thought the same thing, but this is how it's done. He adds up the total value remaining on the scoreboard and roughly divides it by the number of unopened cases. For example, if there is a total of $120,000 on the board and 11 cases to open, then roughly divide $120,000 by 11, giving you as a guide, an offer amount of about 11,000.
