OK, OK, Tommy. I'll tell you what kind of laptop I use:

It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac.... It's a Mac....

one more thing i should add... i used to work on macs when i was in 7th grade for the school after the computer teacher got a new job. when i got to highschool, all htey had were crappy PC's. so i had to re-learn everything in the PC style, and, from experience, macs are better. besides, what is a PC laptop but a macintosh style system that doesn't perform as well.

i now use a PC, just because i have more PC knowledge now, and, though i support macs, i dont want to relearn everything again.

Alright, the Apple, Macintosh computer systems have ALWAYS been superior in stability and performance over PC based computer systems. I say this not because they have always out performed them, but rather because they were put together as a single piece of equipment, and in sync with itself. PC's "advantage" was that you could "upgrade" it as time went by, however, the upgrades in OS and hardware are only BARELY keeping up with the macintosh OS from back when i was in 7th grade... like in... 1993. so it's been over a decade before the PC OS windows, (which happens to have been BASED on macintosh OS)can finally catch up and stand as a, somewhat, respectable operating system. Certainly there is more PC software out there, so many people were duped into using the substandard PC that the market was for pc crap that works almost as good as the macintosh, and we can.... UPGRADE!!!

But anyways, love the show, soon as i can get a VHS recorder i am going to apply to get on there.

I think the show is great. I ignore the banker just as much as he ignores us. Hes not the main part of the show. Its the $$$$ in the cases and the models !!!

geeze.what are you guys? four years old? it's his job people! give me a break...

Quit clucking chicken, you sound mentally deficient, when you repeat yourself.

Banker, it's a mac...it's a mac...it's a mac THAT'S SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!!

You are lying your but off you get paid $30,000 just to sit there with your headset on retard.

Dude, you are an idiot and I hate you. >:( screw you and your little dog, too!

You are an idiot. Why don't you just offer them $100000?

Macs & Windows both suck. Linux ftw!!!

Ew, Mac. D:
And I thought you were semi-cool.
Macs suck.

FACED BY A PIE. > w

I think you should turn the screws all the time with these idiots that play YOUR game. Do they really think they can win one million dollars?? I LOVE watching them loose!!

I bet your as dumb as your mean because macs(apples) suck,windows rule

hahahaha

WOW.

what are you talking about?
macs now have the option to run windows bc maybe thier work needs them too or something..

the banker is smart, because macs are tthe best kind of computer ever made

-no viruses or trojans
-Mac OSX is SUPERIOR to windows in about every single way
-they look better than windoze towers.
-iLife is the easiest way to store pictures, songs and make movies, songs..

i could go on forever.

Banker,
Hmmmmm, If Mac's (apples) are so good, why is it they now run windows?? could it be that no one writes decent software for them anymore?, and they must use PC based programs, because PC's have all the best of the best software.

Banker I would have thought you were smarter than the rest of all the dweebs that use them!

With that said, you have a great show, and the best looking females on TV today.

Big Mac

Dear Banker, based on your side profile from this site - I have to say you resemble Alan Kalter from the Late Show with David Letterman.

I think that perhaps the reason we never see the banker's face is that he is inbred. I mean, just look at his profile outline. He looks like a love child from the two guys on the riverbank in Deliverance!

Yeah, baby. Macs kick ass!

why cant we ever see your face?

Good Choice. Macs are the best.

POOPY. THATS WHAT MACS ARE!

UR GAY U DUMbASS BANKER... USE a Compaq cause they are like you and slow in the Processor you fag. Suck meh Bawls.

Really is it a mac?!? Are you sure?! Check it again... Then give anita a really high deal.... 500,000! K!?! GO NOW AND RAISE THE DEAL !

i love the banker!

Power to the Macs!!!! I love mine!

What the?i don't get it.

When you make the calls to Howie, he hangs up and repeats the comment you supposedly made to him on the phone. Are the comment correct or is this just Howies comedic side coming out? What do you say on the phone?
Thanks!

You are using a MAC!!! KUDOS to you! Mac all the way!!! :) Those who say else wise don't know a good computer when they see one!!!

I think the show is wonderful. I would like to ask why having i received my invitation to the show yet i sent my package from Bamberg, South Carolina a few months ago.

Myself & the girls are waiting for our trip.

May God continue to bless you all and look to hear from you all soon!!!

Hey Banker, this might be disappointing but i have seen that people from other countries playing Deal or No Deal have won... your banker "friends" have failed you.

just to clear things up, I'm not that other Brandon, that guy happens to have my name and is ruining it.

Anyway, it's kinda sad that you have a Mac. Those things really blow.

That's a smart banker if he got a Mac, that's why he's there and the Alienwareware boy is not.

hey so sup wanna talk add me to ur msn list

hey banker...ur mean i love you im love you hihjihji si love you

Hey waz up banker on deal or no deal why cant we see your face are you to embrased to show it just kidding

Have you taken Intermediate Accounting? What grade did you get?

Have you taken Intermediate Accounting? If so, what grade did you get?

hey banker. supp dogg? yea didnt think so.so wats the deal with not being able to see your face huh??? well wat ever thats weird.

bye

Hi, Banker. On "Deal Or No Deal" will we ever see your face? I hope so! And if not, can you describe yourself? And why are all these people on this website so mean?

ok the show is over,click on my name or go check this out.
http://topsurfer.com/mypage.cgi?referer=victorott

I hate that! next time

go lakers!

Just wondering where you went to college and what you majored in.

Greed is KEY to bankers survival!

Hey banker
I was just wondering-do you get payed? Other thing, for the first offer, you REALLY need to go up if they have had a PERFECT game. just wanted to ask. Thank you for your time

have you ever been on another NBC show in the past?

Do you get a cut of the money you save?

Macs rule!

Don't worry about being hated, it's not like you were working at Abu Garib or anything.

Skip the non-profit, let some single mothers play

Do you know how much money is in the cases when the cases are presented to the contestent?

You sweet Tell me, is there anyone in your life?xoxo

So what is the Specs and Model of the Bankers New Notebook Mac?? Macbook, Macbook Pro. 1 or 2 gigs of ram. 100gig HD. Is he running Boot Camp or Virtual Machine from Parallels his WinXP Apps??

Mr. Banker, are you and Howie friends? I love Macs!

Why Do you always want to get there case and do you get paid that price. I am a big fan.

Hey Banker! I'm a banker, too. I love my job, but the pay is less than $25k a year! How do I make enough money to be able to afford car payments & rent? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

The banker is SCARED!!!!!!

You're just there to act like the banker, right? It's a computer doing all that stuff! Your "job" is to sit in there acting like you're doing something!? I need that type of job!! :)

Let’s get a new topic banker, what are then odds of winning the lucky case game?

i know that the numbers are computer generated and that the "banker" is there to make to show seem realistic..but its all done with computers.

WHY ??? Why is the Lucky Home Case game NOT available in the Mountain Time Zone on so many nights?? Does ANYONE know why??

He thinks he is big in his "little" office but out on the street he would not make it! Meet me in the dark alley sometime we will see who walks out!

I think the banker and the show sucks by not letting the folks in Mountain time play the case game.

Mr. Banker got :pwned TONIGHT! Two Great deals at the right time! Lick your wounds, and we'll see ya Tomorrow night!

I like how you deal with people on the show is that how you deal with people in real life?

Hi! uummmm....just wondering... why do you use a phone and not like a loud speaker or something that makes you sound more powerful?...lol

how do you become a contestant on your show?

How to find out if I'm on the cutting room's floor or not?? 2nd audition was very exciting!! I can't wait to go nose to nose with you!! Patiently waiting for our meeting!

So, if you win is it like the lottery? Meaning you can chose one lump sum or span it out over anumber of years?

>> It's a Mac.... It's a Mac....
Look at Mr. Banker. He’s talkin’ some s’Mac! ;-)

>>Janet: Who decides what the amount is to offer.. you.. or nbc???

Janet, it’s all done by computer. Depending on how many cases have been opened and what’s left on the board, the amount offered is based on a calculation of the odds of the contestant having the highest amount left on the board. One way to tell is like this. You know when a contestant has taken a deal and they go thru “What would have been your next choice?” Notice how quickly Howie is able to say “And the offer would have been…”? That’s how you can tell that about the only thing the banker probably does is click the amounts on a screen each time a case is opened and the computer recalculates the offer based on what’s left.

Thank you for shopping “Geeks ‘R Us”. ;-p

And would someone fix the apostrophe? It keeps coming up like a question mark.

Good night everybody, that was fun

she has no luck

go Howie
no deal

I would have lost ass on that one. Who has click my name here.

75,000 could be in your case dumb ass

that one hurt.lets get the banker go for it!

Click my name thanks
sweet no deal good deal

No DEAL!

Who decides what the amount is to offer.. you.. or nbc???Great show when it started I din;t it would be a great show..Just some one opening casing thought it was kinda boring at first..But Howie makes the show.. And now you...

no deal no deal!

To suck OR not to suck!!

That is the question......

and YES! You suck banker,plus you lied about dating a shows model.

I think that you should get my Dad on the Show!!!!

Sorry, this is not directly related to Banker...I was wondering if you have ever considered doing a show with someone who works for a non-profit. The employee representing the non-profit could split anything they received from the show 50/50 with the organiztion. It wouid be great for these organization to get recognized on national television and educate more people about what the are doing. It would also be a great monetary benefit for some of the smaller struggling non-profit organizations. If you consider doing this in the future I would love more information on how to become involved...I work for a wonderful Organization that is doing great things for NYC youth. THanks!

your okay mac man.

how do you handle these people?

I was at an open call in Las Vegas this year.. is my application still on file or do i need to submitt a new one to you guys ?

Thank you Tane

Ok Banker, a couple questions of curiosity. They call you 'The Banker', but a) Do you hold a degree in finance or statistics? and b) It's obvious you're wearing an in studio headset up in your little office. Does that link directly to that little space-age phone that rings, or are you tied into an in-house PA system that's also in Howie's ear?

Yes,Smurfette,The Bankercould definately use a hug from a Smurf.Been a long time.Sue-you are too cool.It's like passing greeting card secretly again!
Life IS good.
P.

love the show, never miss it. is there a formula to your offers, or do you just make the offers from the gut ???

Yes,Smurfette,The Bankercould definately use a hug from a Smurf.Been a long time.Sue-you are too cool.It's like passing greeting card secretly again!
Life IS good.
P.

Have you had a smurfette hug lately??

Are you ever going to come out and hug one of the contestants? It would be great if you did. Maybe when someone wins the millions dollars you would come out and take a bow

Hello hello, u need to update this BIG TIME!!!!!!!!! U gonna lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys are ripping me off. I voted 6 times and you messaged me back and said I could only vote 10 times and my messages would not be counted. What is up with that?? 9/29/06

What exactly is the problem you can not ever keep this darn blog updated?Pull your head out of your overzelous tale,li'l man bankie

Are there more than two of you?

Hi, I think you should show the "Make A Wish" Deal or No Deal episode on TV - It's not always about the money.

Thanks

This is what gets me the most....
1. NBC cancels "Windfall" an INCREDIBALE, CAN'T MISS AN EPISODE SHOW!!!
2. NBC airs "Deal or No Deal"
NOT ONCE
NOT TWICE
BUT THREE TIMES DURING PRIMETIME
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!

Are you actually a banker or are you just one of the producers acting as the banker?

I tried text messaging my guesses for the lucky case game last night. 18 minutes after the show ended, I got text messages back for every guess telling me that my response was invalid and to reply with help for additional assistance. I replied with help and got the same message about my response being invalid. What am I not doing right?

I bet you're really hot

Can I be on your show? Please..........................................................................................................................................thanks.

Can I be on your show? Please..........................................................................................................................................thanks.

I have read this and everyone keeps on begging to be put on the show, does that bother you? it would bother me.

OK one more for you. Do us guys and gals WITHOUT cell phone have a chance in the internet case game? (I live in a NO SIGNAL area... 4 providers no signal /service.)

OK, so the extra things you do like bring a relative in from overseas, do you plan a specific "time" in the game to bring them out? Something like when the player is down, to get them to buy out, or what? If they had the top three amounts on the board would you still bring them out? Let us know how you pull it all off.

so, do you really make all those corny comments Howie says you make?..or do you just give him the amount and he ad libs?

Once you give up this 1 million .. your gettin fired

cmon banker, dont be lazy and update ur blog!

Macs rule and why won't you'll tell us who you are?????

Hello Banker. Profanity is a sure sign of ignorance. What do you smoke while up in your bung hole?? lmao

its odds, not network.

enjoy the game... the show is a real "no brainer" way to go NBC just wondering if the banker uses the odds or percentages when determining which amount to offer for the deal or no deal... or does the network mandate what can or cannot be offered? have watched several shows and sometimes it seems the offers are really low and sometimes really high? being from a gambling state i was just curious and if you cannot answer that, i will understand..just keep up the good work, enjoy all of you!

The banker is THE SHOWS PRODUCERS, it says so in the disclaimer at the END OF THE SHOW!

So in the immortal words of Howie, KIDDIES OPEN THE CATH!

john, the odds are simply based on the average on the board, and of course the players' luck and how mentally fit they are...I know much

I LOVE the show!!!!!
My tried to enter without the video tape... Better Luck next time!!!!

yEAH, jESSE. Great idea. Have Celebs come on and donate their money to their favorite charity. I would donate mine to Foster care or King's Ranch. There are so many foster children who need a home. GOD bless.

I want to know who gets the . 99 for the text messages. i have no idea how many people call in but i bet it's in the million's so with that said you have taken in a whole lot more that you have given away am i right

You...don't feel bad when contestants lose, do you?

I think that's great. Just keep doing what you're doing. ^^

well i would like to know why dont you ever let anyone see you or talk to you i think that is kinda not fair that howie doesnt even get to see you because he is on the show so who exacally gets to see you on the show and another question? after you leave the show with your money as a contestant what strings are attacted because i dont think that you can leave and not have to pay anything well write back soon please thank you

how are the odds all calculated???

Dear Banker
I also have a "Mac". People have tried to talk me out of using it, and I've stuck to my MAC! Thanks for using the MAC.
Your Rock!!!

I think the show is great entertainment. My seven yr. old son is crazy about it and has never missed a show.

The derogatory comments about the banker using a Mac laptop... get real.

Macs don't crash and they don't have virus issues - pc's do - that's why the banker uses a Mac!
Also all editing for tv, movies, video editing are done using a Mac- NOT a PC! So before you knock it- do a little research and be educated about what you proclaim to be superior.

How much weight have you lost? I can tell you have lost weight, your shadow is smaller

Hahaha, nicely put Mr. Banker. But why is it you dont let the Deal or No Deal crew show your face on the show? You're just like... a shadow in a giant box thing!

O.o I'm gonna guess you're not afraid of the dark?

That explains why your deals are so low...a Mac...lol

megan, if you dont know who the banker is...start looking...many people know, including myself.

sherry was her name? anyways, its over for her....

I think we need to see what a female banker can do. AND we need to split the models and make half of them male (after a few shows of male only). Let's have equality here. Female models have tons of jobs, let's get the men out there dressed sharp. Every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man!! Thanks.

What is your real name? I know it's not the banker. Tell me soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can I enter to be chosen to participate on the show?

its time for the next victim, the million is gone...

I have played the lucky case game every night since the show came on. We have chosen correctly more often than not, but we are never chosen as the winner. Do you guys have something against Ohio? There hasn't ever been a winner from Ohio.

whats up banker i think you are pretty cool giving that money away besides ppl are the ones who screw up there selves not u i think the show is awesome

Poor Lary

Glad to see that sap lose

Has anyone at home who submitted on line ever won the $10,000?

LOL @ LARY

You don't go on with no safety net and only 4 amounts left on the board. It's a rule. He deserved to lose the $200,000 case.

hey banker if i were on the show one time,Iwould't give up your identity after i had crown&cokes with you and the cast!!!but you would only see me for just that casting day and thats it ON A VACATION I GO!!!!!

you are a MEAN banker!! Why be mean to these people all they want is a little money!! I mean you know what they need you need it too.... I think

i READ YOUR BLOG BEFORE i ASKED A QUESTION AND WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM! WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN TO PEOPLE WHO ASK A GENERAL QUESTION? i ALSO HAVE A QUESTION, wHY DON'T YOU TALK DIRECTLY TO THE PLAYERS WHEN THE PHONE RINGS, LIKE MAYBE OUT LOAD? IS THAT THE WHOLE PLOT OF THE SHOW OR WHAT

haha shut now

we know who the banker is...its Peter Abbay.

OK have a suggestion..How bout a little change for the gay men that love the show as well as the ladies that watch..How bout a night with hot model guys holding the cases!!!

I know who you really are. >:)

Is there ever going to be a celebrity Deal or No Deal where the money goes to charities?

Alright... Everytime I want the show My heart gets pounding and I jump up and down as if I was winning the Money LOL, I was just wondering when are they having auditions where or near where I live. I know most people dont even know there is a state called New Hampshire, But it is here.... and I would like the chance to have a heart attack on the stage like those people. lol. And to everyone that says you should make better deals... ITS PART OF THE EXCITEMENT!! Everytime im like NO DEAL, Screaming at the TV, and when they say No deal I jump up and down. My neighbors come over, and my boyfriend is always late to work on the days the show airs... I just wanted to say You Guys Rock!! AND WHEN CAN IT BE MY TURN!! LOL....

Have a Blessed Day!!

Jess

what are the producers looking for at the auditions?

First,
I would like to give a shout out! To all the Deal or No Deal Crew. Thanks for all your hard work. To provide such a entertaining show.
Next, My girlfriend is a huge fan of the show. And, she wants to be on the show. What is required to be a contestant?Thank You and keep up the great work.

Hey, what ever happened to the mean comments you used to make and do you accpet appretices...I want to follow in your foot steps Mr. Banker muahaha

>>My girlfriend and I have a bet; Are there ussually 5 or 6 cases in the play at home game. And, has Howey been the number 6 case all week. Thanks for the info.

JAMES - there are always 6 cases, and Howie has been behind case 6 all week, but case 6 was never the winner.

Hope you win your bet :)

Banker, how did it feel to almost lose alot of money on the sept 22 show i can't believe that one contestant kept the mill in play for so long! what are your thoughts? Can Canadians apply? Hollar @ Your Boy (jokes) Drop me a line if you want!

thanks again shannon...we are fine, it's just a tstorm now. i'm almost surprised that she didn't take the 880K...she kept saying she wasn't greedy...taking the $880K would have been the way to go...thanks again. good night

your welcome... she got down to the 2 cases and banker offered i think 880k, she said no deal. she kept her case, which had the 750k. stay safe

yeah...thanks shannon, it was killing us to know. guess we didn't win the Lucky Case Game! no phone call

thanks shannon...you are a sweetie...can you give details?? did she keep her case?

Can someone tell me if she got the $750K or the $1M...we have tornado warnings and they are only showing the weather...need to know

750,000

Please...please....did she win the $750K or the $1M?? we have a tornado warning 50 miles away and the pre-empted...please somebody

To tell you the truth Mr. Banker... I have played the text message game 3 nights in a row... betting 5 times every game I cant even pick the right case.. In which even if i do pick that case I will probally not be chosen either... Im going to play one more night man... Then you lose a customer :(

The banker is probably one of those guys that just "likes to watch"

I cant find any banker posts since the 18th, am i blind? I thought he posted to the blog every show?

How much did she win. We have a tornado warning about 45 miles away and they interupted. Please help me.

Come out, Come out where ever you are!!

where are the current blogs

It's a mac...I guess that explains why it's broken and the keyboard keeps repeating "It's a mac...".

My girlfriend and I have a bet; Are there ussually 5 or 6 cases in the play at home game. And, has Howey been the number 6 case all week. Thanks for the info. P.S. Mac's are great for graphics, but PC at the real number crunchers.

Thanks for the thrill..This is a great show and your gave people a chance to start life over and comfortable. TY

With 750K & 1 MILLON on the board and an offer probably right down the middle I think I would just go for the million because you can't really lose!

Why does this blog ask for your email if the banker never sends you an email in reply to your questions? I have sent two questions in but no answers yet. At least the banker could answer the intellegent questions. That shouldn't take long if you read the questions, 99% are stupid or non deserving of an answer.

I've heard that the old Deal or no Deal didn't have a real banker is that true.

Macs are GHEY!

But we still love you.

Are you on the new "The Biggest Loser" show? If not, you should try for the next one, fatty! BTW, put down that twinkie!

Dear Banker,
I think your wit and humor are perfect, even though some think you are mean. If we knew who you were, it would be boring, especially for the few intelligent, educated people who watch the show. I love Howie too, since he was Chuckie Margolis! That dates me! Thanks for the interesting study on human behavior.

Yeah- me too- but who won tonight!?!?!?!??!?! And yes, if I DID NOT have a dog that shed, I would have ate the chicken fingers after they hit the berber rug!

I picked 2nites winnig case number, and they sent me back a text saying that they were unable to process my vote. then i seen that two other people won. whats up with that? any other night when i dont pick the winning case they process my vote just fine!i think its a bunch of bull@#$%!!!!!!

I dropped my chicken fingers on the floor- who won the 100k???

Hi Ummm Sir, I was wondering if you also "display" the odds/percentages on the Home audanceance TV montors? b/c when a camra zooms in where you "work" and I've noticed some moniters and other stuff realting two the things I've been talking about.

I've noticed that nobody from Wisonsin has won the lucky "play at home" version of Deal or No Deal. Speaking of that I can't seem to text you my number it never sends, I don't care if my phone company charges me... BLAH...
So HOW DO YOU PICK THE PERSON WHO GETS THE RIGHT CASE??

I am also a Finance major!! :)

I also guessed the case for the highest amount, I can read through those cases... YOU SHOULD GET A PYHIC UP THERE TO PLAY!!!

HA! The Coach GOT YA BANKER!

Well done my man!

If there was ever a chance, say like for charity, would you like to play the game?

The banker needs to stop being so annoying that he shouldn't be like Simon Caldwell.

The banker needs to show his face so we can bust him in the face.

:) banker u suck

Your Show is great! Are you single or married?

THIS GIRLS GONNA RULE NEXT TIME!

How did you feel the other night loosing 657,000 dollars.. That was a GOOD game....

how can i get on the show.. me n howy would be a Riot.. from me the Quick witted to Howy.. it'll be a smash!!!

Good job Coach!!!

Do you really say the things to the contestants that Howie say's you do?

how do you calculate the amount of money to offer a contestant?

Will the show ever have media /tv/movie personalities be a "guest banker" with their shadow shown. People could guess at home and the banker could be revealed at the end of the show.

Yeah, Macs are pretty much the gayest thing since gay came to gayville.
My only joy is to see that a football coach, lowest of the low, now has no chance at 5 million dollars. Bring him down.

Will the show ever have "guest bankers" who would be revealed at the end of the show? Can you see the mystery of having some TV or media stars have their shadow shown ; have people guess at home for $$$

hey there i think you should be nice to the football coach oh and by the way i think you are soooooooo sexy

Yes, I KNOW!

But on this Blog, he's "The Banker." Play along people, play along. xD

THE BANKER IS PETER ABBAY OKAY!!!!! GOOGLE HIM

Hi There,
Well I Love This Second Season So Far.But There's One Question I Have How Do You Dome Up with The amount's to add to Take away From The Guest? Well How Do you & Hawey Get The Guest?

oh come on, the banker's job isnt so hard...sit on the chair and watch the game. sipping a cup of coffee and chilling.

How exactly do you come up with your deals? Is it simply a computer program you use to calculate the values left on the board which then gives you the number based on the odds. If so, the show is probably paying you too much.

hey banker i need a million dollars can you please sent it to me.. thanks kimmie kim

ok so my dad owns life, and you all wish you were him because he's the funniest coolest guy on earth, now dont lie you all would have taken the deal for 400,000...
matty day- all day everyday!!

Banker... *gets down on one knee* Will you marry me?

The Banker is just a CBS reject. He has no Balls and the only Reason he has any attention is because of Howie

Early in the show, that is one hell of a real option that you have to calculate. I assume that you have a ready-made spreadsheet that runs the numbers, but, great job man! Do you deviate from the value of the real option to trick or sort of negotiate with the contestants, or does the spreadsheet tell you what to say?

Have you and Howie ever gone out for coffee after the game?

The show is great but the past two nights when entering to participate in 'at-home' game, I'm not getting the replies to the text messages until well after the show is over. Why is that?

How come the Mountain Time Zone hasn't been able to play home this week and how come the game is now only playble via text message... versus both text and web last season?

So I've been noticing a lot of questions on how Mr. Banker comes up with his offer. It is most likely the same way that insurance companies develop their premiums -- a measure of risk factor. Chances are that the bank offer is actually developed by a computer program; taking into account the odds of the contestant's briefcase holding an amount significantly higher than the offer he makes. The offer is also most likely calculated based on the personality of the contestant, with a requirement of drama thrown in. Without drama, nobody would watch this show, of course.

As a contestant, I would never focus on the maximum prize available; that's not the goal the contestant should chase. The goal of the contestant is to play the same game as the banker -- push the bank offer up sufficiently high while minimizing, and measuring the amount of risk involved by choosing to continue to play.

As another poster wrote: anyone who leaves with less than $100K is doing something wrong.

Hey banker....
Here's an intellegent question. the fee's for text messages for the $200,000 benefits who?

Banker, do you and Howie go party?

The odds are the odds. They don't change. 1:26 or 1:2. Does the human factor get any weight by DOND? Personally, do you think it should Mr. Banker?

This game is way too easy. Anyone that goes home with less than 100k is pretty much either greedy or just a plain idiot. I don't think most of the contestants even know what "odds" means.

How annoyed do you get by the contestants and their personalities? Does that have any factor in what gets offered?

How do you live with yourself? You must derive great pleasure in tormenting others. I like that in a man. It shows strong charater.

2 questions: Do you as the banker know how much is in each case? (For instance, last night you started out big with the bribes to cash out, and it turned out the guy did have $3m in his case.

Second, has anyone ever won the at-home suitcase game from the Web? (not text messaging)

It's only a matter of time Banker. The Next two nights could produce Millionaires, offer or case-wise.

Of course, in theory, every night could! ;)

He did good.

Question...is the lucky case number the same for all time zones that the show is shown in?

Kimberly still would have went home more than she came with...she should have gone one more case!

>>I can't believe Kimberly did not continue on at least one more case...she had absolutely nothing to lose!

Nothing to lose? Odds were in her favor, but there was a 1:6 chance of hitting the 4 million case, and that would have dropped her next offer below 200k. 700k is just too much to risk, even with a 5:6 chance of going higher. She made the right choice.

Banker.. your doing a great job of holding onto those Million $ prizes... can you keep the top prize money safe at home ??.. or will you end up giving away that $6,000,000 can't wait to see the next show. !! oh .. I think I saw more of you than a shadow !! u soooo pretty .. lol thanks for the great entertainment

DEAL!!!! I WIN!!

NO DEAL!!!! like victor said I WIN!!

I can't believe Kimberly did not continue on at least one more case...she had absolutely nothing to lose!

$701 is nice cash though.

How do you apply or get a chance to play the game ? My wife says she has what it takes to beat you But I think when the $$'s went up she would fold.
Thanks

excuse me Mr.Banker but all of us are going nuts to know what your name is so hurry up and tell us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

excuse me Mr.Banker but all of us are going nuts to know what your name is so hurry up and tell us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Me Banker.........I think you are so hot!!! All I see is your shadow, but I bet you are sooooo handsome........I know you have a big heart and all those sassy remarks are just for the show.See I am from the old school and I know these things hahahaha Keep up the good job cause I wouldn't miss the show for anything but my death.......Sincerely me

NO DEAL!!!

http://gditeambuilder.ws/victor

why don't you ever show your self????????????????????????

Is there a new rule that all male contenstants have to be morbidly obese to get on the show?

How long does it take before you find out if you are chosen to be on the show?

As a banker you have the edge. Are you using a computer program to see what the odds are and what amount of money to offer.

Wow

I love your show and watch it faithfully. I would love to ask why your contests "Lucky Case" Game is not open to Canadians and can Canadians play on the televised game?

Thanks

banker do you suck

your d) in that room cause it looks life it

I think she made a good deal we'll see in a min.

www.coolkom.com

Can you tell me how the preacher did yesterday? I missed the end of his game.

are you sure its a mac?

What is your favourite book?

Why?

When the contestant is wavering but decides to continue, does it affect your next offer? Or is it a pure mathematical decision?

So how much do you take home for every dollar you "save" the show?

DEAL!

http://freedom.ws/victorott/show_dvd

DEAL DEAL DEAL DEAL DEAL DEAL DEAL DEAL DEAL DEAL DEAL DEAL DEAL DEAL DEAL !YEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

so how do you come up with the offer????

How come it seems like all the winners of the play at home game are from the same states? UT, TX, CA

I have a mac and windowes 3.11 and windowes rocks!

Banker... you are the man! haha

Hey Banker, How do you come up with the offers? A friend of mine thought he knew what it was, but I think he is wrong. I don't remember what he said it was, but it didn't sound right to me. What is your method of offering?

do you get the odds from Vegas bookies to decide how much to offer ?????

People are asking questions on who this so called 'banker' is. . . I would guess too... What about.. o.o Bill Gates? ^.^ .. probably not? But... Its a guess neithertheless...

Looks like you may be making a bigger deal than you did on Manny-Day!

oh I got to enter the lucky case game. NO DEAL! NO DEAL!

I am glad to see I am not the only one that is addicted to this show. My 7 year old wants to goto a filming of this show just to show Howie her version of "Open the case".. too cute! Gotta find a way some day.

I love the guests that are selected - a great show to watch!

are you still adting the model from the show, who is it?

Hey what happened to the big crush you had with that model from last year who for some reason thought you were hot and a real stud? Would be interesting to know.....

Do you say "bye bye" after each phone call to Howie?

Are you Lorne Micheals??

http://freedom.ws/victorott/show_dvd
click my name

ok here we go...so far so good ouch that hurt bad

Hey Banker, why aren't you talking to us tonight? You cheapskate.

I love the show and have really become addicted, Have I missed something? I thought this was a type of game show and not a real bank or banker. If these guys want to see a real ahole let them go to a bank and try to get a loan with the attitude and class they show. Keep up the fun and good work Suzi

4,000,000 this show rocks.....no deal duh.

Heyy Banker....

This may seem strange, but everything has a purpose....I'm trying to see what zodiac sign is more prevalent in todays world, so, what horoscope sign are you? (I'm Aquarian, by the way....) :)

I bet you have to give away LOTS of money tonight Banker
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Is it true Howie won't shake hands with anyone?

how do u post a damn question

i relly like the show and want to know how you figure out to offer and are u races????????

YOU ROCK AND WHY DON'T YOU SHOE YOURE SELF.
YOUR PAL CODY

do you REALLY do anything up there?????? and do you have a REAL life?????

I'll give you a hint, the banker's middle name is Yamo.

HEY MR POTATOE !! ITS MATTY DAY TODAY TOO! THANKS FOR THE $675K TOO BAD I DIDNT GET THE 3MIL. LIKE I SHOULD HAVE!! MATTY DAY FOREVER, TRY TO HAVE YOURSELF A NICE MATTY DAY!!

I tried to txt message last night but it did not work. I received a message back that there was an error. Can you please tell me how to txt message?
Thanks, Penny Montgomery

Do you know an estimate of how many "home viewers" send in text messages to guess the "play from home" lucky case game?

Hi, I watch DOND faithfully. One day I decided to go on-line to see if there was a website, and there was. I noticed the "casting" section, so I decided to enter. I think I did really well on the application but I rushed the tape due to the fact that it said the deadline was June 2nd and this was late May. Anyways, my question is this, how long before I know if I will be picked to be on the show or not? Also, do I need to reapply after a season?

Finally, a "real" game show that everyone in the whole family that has nothing in common can sit down & watch together. You know, like the old sitcoms, but this show is interactive, state-of-the-art likely will be on the air for years to come. You go Banker!!!

banker your the one who makes this show

Great show tonight. I love Howie. I think he is so sexy!

Banker, do you do Sudoku Puzzles, Jumbles, Word Finds, or Crossword Puzzles when in your booth/office?

I know that you use some statistical equation to come up with a general amount for each deal and that you modify that amount a little based upon how much you like the contestant. What is that base equation, and how much leeway do you have with that amount?

I wonder what kind of profiling NBC does to pick the contestants? No one seems to be able to make an intelligent decision, or maybe that is the point - NBC picks the contestants so you already have one up on them from the start. You know their psychology upfront and can use that against them. The house always has the advantage.

You do a good job as a banker. How exactly do you get on the show and will you guys have any college student edition shows because i'm a poor college student who needs to pay for tuition and such :(

Mr. Banker,

Can you persuade the producers and Howie into doing a special "2-piece swimsuit" DOND? This would send the ratings through the roof!

I would love to be on the show. AND You would love to have me!!

So is the blog closed?? I don't see my post!!

I love the show...thanks for making it great...you could loosen up your bank book a little

that guy is stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey banker one or two questions.One what race are u are u a craker or what.And second one u problobly wont anwser is what does ur name start with?

What formula do you use to calculate the next offer?

do you really call Howie on the phone?

ok,

My dad was on the show...
Does he know the truth?
Shall I ask?
How old shall you be. No more than 50 & no less than 20.

It's ok if I think you are a great guy right!?
Even though you have never been shown, and don't say anything.
or is that creepy?????

so what are you when your not a banker for the show

All the cool people use Macs!!

Thanks for letting me know what happened to Matty tonight. WOW! DID he get it all in cold cash in a briefcase? The 3 million won would have put the banker out of business!

im only posting cuz im hoping to bring more traffic to my forum. sorry if this is spammy but im despreate

Why can't the Mountain time zone viewers play the at home game?

I think your great!!! Who exactly are you though? Will you ever reveal yourself or have you already?

i love you and the show.i hope to see you someday.

He got to 675k, then gave up and turns ut he has the 3 mil in his case. hope i helped

I missed whether Maty beat the bank. I got a phone call when he was offered 650,000 to leave. What happened????Was it Matty's Day after all?

----BANKER IS GONE----

"Well... It's that time

If no one has anything interesting to ask, I won't waste either of our times. Just make sure to tune in tomorrow night at 8/7c when your friend the Banker strikes again. Thanks for all your comments and questions."

sheesh

Wow.. people sure get worked up over a game.

I don't really have a question.. just enjoy reading these. But... how old are you? Uhm.. what's your favorite color?

Hey Banker,

Does it annoy you when a contestant picks a case - and then someone in the family is like "Are you sure about that case? Better think about it. Are you sure about case 18?"

Then the contestant is like:

"Let me think about it..."

At this point, what is running through their head? Any idea? What are they basing their decision on to think one random case is better than another?

you know that soap opera A.W.?

Why no Lucky Case game?

Hey Banker,How did you end up getting a job on deal or no deal? Did an agent approach you?

Is the banker the same banker on every show or do bankers alternate? Also, do the bankers get to date the models?
