Getting close to the million now - will he go all the way?
Um, no. Annoyingly he did know it too (sadly I did as well, or at least sitting at home I was 99% sure I was right!!) but I can't blame him for not taking that 50/50 punt with that kind of cash at stake.Also it depends on different personal circumstances, e.g. the second guy who bailed at 16k rather than go with a guess for the 32k safety line. Mrs reckoned he should go for it as "it's only 15k he will lose." My view was that it's easy for us to say that, but loss of 15k could be significant opportunity in life loss to others. How often can one see contestants in quiz shows looking to win a few thousand to fund something that us fortunate ones could just decide to do it from savings or whatever.

That's what I said last night as it happens. I would have guessed and the missus said "yes, well you would, but it's not the same for everyone". True.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
