Mariette's Game Report

Noel talks about Frank and his system that pulled off a very nice win yesterday, as it seemed to start so badly but pulled around at the end of the game.

Noel tells the banker he got a spanking yesterday!! The banker thinks Mariette is the biggest dealer on the show!! And Mariette replies by saying that if the offer is over £35,000 she will go... The banker decides not to make a money offer and instead gives Mariette the chance to SWAP her box with any remaining box, Noel asks if there are any numbers that Mariette favours? She says she is happy with her box and NO SWAP
