I disagree, the endgame is fine. In Series 1 the first bag was 10%, which I thought was a bit too generous: a £10,000 + win for one right answer. The current 5% > 20% > 50% > 100% is fine as it means more than doubling your money in each of the first 3 correct bags. I don’t think there should be any safe havens either.Marc Meakin wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 7:56 am It's a good game until the final round.
5% for the first go is too low and any further goes is all or nothing, far too risky.
It should be 10% for the first go 50% for the second go and if you lose you keed your 10% 100% for the third go and a double your money for the last go but the 10% for the first go should be your guaranteed win
I still think if there was a safe haven contestants would be braver.Philip A wrote: ↑Sun Aug 28, 2022 4:39 pmI disagree, the endgame is fine.

Still a no from me.Marc Meakin wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 6:28 pm Moneybags is such a great show until the final.
There is too much risk for the contestants with the all or nothing risk.
They should either guarantee the 5% and a free go at each subsequent bag or have 2 bags with a lifeline or no lifeline so there is a chance.
