Thank you very much guys, it's nice to hear support from my friends in the pool world. I was very lucky to win 31K, god was definately on my side.
I have decided not to spend a penny until I graduate, So I am going to have to wait a year before I ask Malaguista to put my name down for a spanish tourney.
And also to play Scotlands SAPPA tournaments, with the likes of the Cardman, and Scotlands other finest.
Expert Fluke the shows after the summer break are going to be exiting especially with the girls v boys competition.
Danny your grand is on it's way in Italian Liras, and also a grand more in Guilders, dont say I dont look after you
Lastly thank you for the mention ttcotwbrm and I hope to see you all in a future pool tournament.

Danny your too kind mate, there is a phone number for prospective audiences on the channel 4 website, you should ask for the first show as it is easier to get on it. If I had the power then I would have asked for a few tickets for all you guys to watch the show live as it is completely different from what you see on TV. Dave I've got the last ten minutes of my show with some stats and read some of the comments left by surfers:- http://www.ilovedealornodeal.co.uk/shows.php?show=278

Well done sir! I am so glad your dad will get his trip! A question though, when do you get paid is it after the show is aired so that you don't go and show that you have won the money?

Thank you phil9ball
The cheques are sent a month after filming (2 months before the show is aired), and as I also won £500 on the 500th show I got two cheques. Now I might look to apply for other game shows shamelessly such as Golden Balls, Win My Wage (if it survives) or the Weakest Link, any show which relys more on luck than skill, as my general knowledge is weak.

Asim, I just watched the programme on the link you provided - brilliant job mate... I would have been greedy and lost the lot! Well played!

The Bucket Scenario
Which ever contestant peels the sticker and reveals £250000 on the bucket wins a trip for 2 in the Costa del sol.
Which ever contestant peels the sticker and reveals 1p on the bucket wins a trip for 2 in Weston super mare.
The contestant/s that match the amount on the bucket with the amount in their box wins £500 each.
Unfortunately my luck never stretched to getting the bonus holiday or extra cash prize, as I had revealed £50000 on my bucket and I had 1p in my box.

Just saw the link - great entertainment. It was a very good call Asim. You see so many going all the way and ending up with a penny! Well done.

All I could say is God was on my side, I wish I had the same luck with me 9 ball when I was playing it more seriously.
