I do have some training in psychology, but at the end of the day, this is a game. I'm not trying to make them feel bad, I'm trying to get them out of the game for as little money as possible.

Hello there,
Reading a few of your comments, one particular answer caught my eyes. You replied to a person "cool down, man; it's just a game", or something along that line. Corroborated with the fact that you call yourself a "borderline psychic" it prompts me to ask you a couple of questions.
Well, it is just a game, indeed. However, scanning through the winners' list, one could not but notice that most or frequent winners come from three states: California, Colorado, and Washington. Of course, there are names from other states to ensure the "random" factor, yet the proportion is very small (talking...numbers, eh?). Is there any explanation for this FACT? How much of the "psychic" factor is involved in picking the winners of the "lucky case" at... "Random"? This show reminds me of the same deal noticed on the Overhaulin' show: people from all 50 states + Canada can apply for a car overhauling, yet only people from California are chosen. You guys indeed got the "random" factor down to...perfection. : Wink:
Nevermind talking further about the "surprise" on the contestants' faces when they are pulled from the audience... Coming with "it is still warm" pies made especially for Howie gives a hint for how "surprised" and "clueless" contestants are when picked from the crowd...
By the way, do you need to adhere to "acting weird and over joyous on the stage" in order to have a chance to get on the show?
One more thing: how "random" of a chance you folks give people to get on the show if they don't possess (hey, everyone wants to become contestant b/c of a financial rationale, isn't that right?) a camcorder or don't have the possibility to rent/borrow one, since sending a tape in is the benchmark for becoming a contestant? Some folks (detractors) might ask "hey, dude, what corner of the world you live in since you cannot afford/find a camcorder?"... But I guess I am not the only one mentioning not having a camcorder…

Pretty crazy show but I like it. Watched it for the first time tonight. Though I think I know who you are banker. I would not give that info up. I heard from another person. and looking at the shadow I can see you're very simular to who they said. None the less great show.

You have to look out for the interests of the show. That makes you very unpopular.

Do you use body language as well to help you judge their actions/reactions?

Does the screaming "family" annoy you as much as it does me? :/

You are extremely intelligent, and know the odds, but whats with the nose Bud?

You Never win banker, you give out money for nothing. your always losing even to that chick who won 2 bucks, you get nothing out of that muahahaha

lol 1st post

so now you think you have training in psychology because you make taco and burger jokes to fat people that play the game? thats almost as pathetic as you thinking you have finance skills because you rang up other fatties at burger king

but you have to put the screws in them a little at least just to make them squirm.

Are you Steve Guttenberg?
