$50
$5
$.01
$.40
$300
were the amounts eliminated. It still doesn't look too good for you. The offer went up, but just barely.

$13 is the offer. Take it or leave it, deal or no deal? Let me summarize the situation for you. You still have 3 of the Big 7 (Amounts over $100) in play. However, 60% of your board is on the left side. This means there is a 60% chance right now that your case holds less than $10...
But wait, I see you may be having second thoughts. I know I am...just for looking at this spoiler, your offer goes up to $15.

Congratulations! What an exceptional round. You're going to start out with the largest first offer in ToO DoND history! Your offer is...$15. You now have a choice: Deal or No Deal?

If you say No Deal, I would ask that you proceed to pick five cases.

Sorry, when I made the rules, I did it with the understanding that everyone would have some base knowledge of the game going in. Let me elaborate a little. You want to try to eliminate the lower boxes on the board. This is because when those lower amounts are revealed, they, logically, can not be in your case. So, when I make you the offer at the end of the round to buy your case, your offer will go up. Conversely, if you eliminate higher amounts, (see AS's game as a reference), your offer will go down. You ultimately want to take as much money from me as you can. The risk in saying "No Deal" is that you may eliminate those higher amounts, making both your next offer to buy your case drop and your odds of leaving with higher amounts of money go down. If you have any questions I can clarify, let me know.

With that said, let's open the cases.

3-$50.00
5-$75.00
11-$.10
14-$1.00
23-$.20

So, that was really good as well. After opening 11 cases, you left 6 of the top 7 amounts on the board.

NOTE FOR BOOKWORM AND OTHERS ANALYZING MY FORMULA: I am no longer using a strict statistical average due to the change in the money ladder.

With that said, I am prepared to offer you $75 to leave the game right now. Deal or No Deal?

If you say No Deal, pick your next four cases.

Well, Shakespeare, you took the deal of $75. Let's take a look at what your case held.

The case you picked held...

$500.

You made a poor deal, but still came out ahead!

Now, let's move to our next contestant.

American Eagle, pick your case, and 6 cases to eliminate.

Interesting first round. Your offer is equally interesting: a $13 gift card to The Auction House.

When I first read it, I thought it said "a $13 gift card to Amazon.com". I would've taken the deal. :(

Although I'd love to own the first ToO gift card, I'm going to say no deal.

Your choice...and it is also your choice of the next five cases to eliminate.
