I always found the best way to play a DOND was to walk straight past it.

Not all DONDs have a COB button. Those that do have it can have varied outcomes, some more generous than others. LP DOND can take you to the phones.

And what a delightful DOND it is too. But I'd still rather go on the show. A question for you all. You're on, 5 box stage; £1, £5, £5000, £50000 and £250000. The offer is £23000. Deal or no deal?

I'd be no dealing there, all day!

Good question MoG :-) The mean value of those 5 boxes is £61k. Half of the mean is £30.5k, so £23k would be quite a poor offer. He used to like using £26k offers at the 5-box stage - he called it the "chair lever". I think at £23k, I would have carried on. At £26k-30k, I would have dealt.

No deal all day long, they have some right bottlers on there at times.

I'm quite sure that the offer wouldn't be as generous as £23k. With the 3 lower amounts still in play, he'd probably offer about £5k less than that.

As JG says, their are tons of donds out there now. If you are playing the ones with the 12 boxes (monopoly has this too) just stay on 25p stake because you should really be thinking about getting the dond game, and sometimes, if it is red boxing, you may get a go all the way easier by playing it this way. The donds without this, just get a board and when you hit a question mark, if their is nothing worth collecting, just cob it and hold onto your balls mate.

Is there a relationship between red-boxing and a GATW? I thought that it just meant that a line or column in red simply starts the game with phones active, filling the rest of the matrix in white. I don't know about other people, but for me, an all-red (GATW) scenario tends to manifest itself while during the normal white-boxing stage. E.g. you get enough for a single white column, then all 12 will spawn red i.e. the cue to GATW.

If it's red boxing it's generally in a better mood than if it wasn't. Hence it's more like to give you a GATW.
