A few of you have asked about whether or not the player's personalities affect my offers (i.e. are my offers inversely proportional to how annoying I find the contestant).

While many of the people I have to face make me want to drive a pencil through my flesh, I never let my personal feelings get in the way of what I have to do which is take people out of the game with a small cash prize.

If my offers were solely based on how I felt about the players, I could reduce our prize payouts to $10 a game.

Love,
The Banker

I understand about the feelings part. So, they dont have money and the banker isnt giving any out. hello your even lucky your on the show. If you walk out with 50 bucks that was your choice. The banker is doing his job. Let him do his job. The end. The story

I THINK YOU NEED TO IMPROVE YOUR ATITUDE AND INSTEAD OF HAVING A NEGGITIVE(ANGRY) ATITUDE TO A POITIVE (HAPPY)ATITUDE!!!

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…

Well I can say you make some tempting offers when playing but being I know what its like to lose everything allready so walking out of the show with nothing but meeting Howie would be worth the trip alone but dont own a
video camera so wont have
the opportunity to even apply ...your doing a great job Banker love the show

Hey ummm who is the most annoying person that you personally couldn't stand and i think you do a good job of keeping people at low money amounts you had 2 people so far that had the million in their case but settled for your deal........are you ever going to show your face?? I'm just curious of who you are!1

I just learned that one of the twenty-six girls was formerly a man. He underwent gender reassignment therapy for three years before having the anatomical surgery necessary to complete his changeover to be a "her" in July, 2005. While this is not a big deal (pardon the pun) in today's enlightened world, it is most interesting to hear what she did with the spare parts left over from that surgery. Let's just say that if you borrowed her car, you'd likely drive only in first gear.

Why not make the game even more interesting and entertaining (especially to MY followers) by adding four variants as follows:
1. Have one of the cases contain explosives that detonate when the case is opened.
2. Place explosives under the Banker's seat that detonate if a contestant wins the $1M prize.
3. Place explosives randomly under the seat of an audience member that detonates when a specific case is opened.
4. Have Howie wear an explosive belt that detonates when a contestant says the "secret word". Before the contestants are brought out a duck can come down from above to reveal the secret word to everyone else. Wow . . . what a novel idea.
Now THAT would be a show worthy of an Emmy . . . or possibly even an Allah!

Don't you just LOVE the morons who've been commenting about one of the sister contestants being on a "porn" site? I see two possibilities:
1. The comment is from a female: Typically the female who makes such a comment is an incredible loser who couldn't BUY a bang at the end of an all-night frat party. She's mad because men can't see past her flab and zits.
2. The comment is from a male: This jerkface became aroused at the sight of the girl he knows as "Christy" when she appeared on DOND and began to pleasure himself as soon as he recognized her. Unfortunately, his orgasm was when Howie's face filled the screen. Now he's mad because he realizes his true orientation.

The sister's - The one wearing pink. Is also known as Christy on ftvgirls.com.... when did NBC start paying porn stars??

Greetings Banker from a cold and wet Canada! Just so you know trhey are calling for "flurries' today!

I hope you dress warm when you come up here in - because you are going to get a chilly reception from the Canadian contestants.

All of us that have sent in our applications really want to take those "loonies' home - a $1,000,000 worth I hope!

Now Howie on the other hand will get a a really warm reception....we're so proud of him and his hard work and success...

I am glad to hear that you do not base your decisions based on personality of the contestant - let's do a little test shall we.....

In honour of your visit I have wrote a little PO-EM for you and Howie

Here goes....
Ode To the Handsome Host, The Banker and Red Headed Vixen (ohh that's me!)

There once was redheaded vixen named Mini,
Who thought she knew the Deal Or No Deal skinny.
She applied with a wish, and the seal of a kiss,
Hoping to become a very, very rich Miss.

She arrive on set, all a buzz and a flutter.
As she stood tall and tried not to mutter.
The banker, dark, foreboding, and as silent as ever
Looked down upon her and said via Howie, ?No winning little Miss - Not today - Not ever!?

Miss Mini looked to our hero ?Handsome Howie? for a clue
But the ever-charming and smiling host said not "Boo"
With her hand to her forehead the little vixen gasped, ? What am I to do ? What am I to do?
Mini looked to her supporters who yelled frantically "Twenty-two - Twenty-two!"

The Banker had the redheaded vixen ride a tide of emotions, until she though she?d have a fit
The former carpet salesman tried to sell and temp the lady with smooth talk, his logic and wit.
Ahh, but at the end of the game ? our little lady had won and yelled "Yippee Yahoo Yahoo!"
And to the banker Miss Mini lowered her lashes, nodded and smiled, as she whispered "Adieu - Adieu" and a quiet "Screw you!"

No hard feelings Banker....
Hope to see you in "Ta -ranta"!
Cheers!
Mini

I love people leaving the game w/ $1........ So stop asking me about if I judge people!! Because I do!!!!!

Mr. Banker, I think DEAL OR NO DEAL became a hit in 35 COUNTRIES..... In Spain I think or Mexico.. here in

AMERICA...

GIANT NETWORKS are on war..:
*ABC-7 vs. CBS-2 vs. NBC-5 vs. FOX etc...

why is it to many while other countries only have TWO...

like in the Philippine:
ABS-CBN vs. GMA-7
-ABS-CBN purchased:
Big Brother, DEAL OR NO DEAL?!, DREAM SONG WRITING (Dream Academy).. all from Endemol and got ratings over 40-60% ratings...

Korea:
KBS vs. SBS

blah blah...

Mr. Banker DEAL OR NO DEAL is a VERY VERY VERY BIG HIT!! In the Philippines it ranked ranged from 1-5. with ratings of 50% above... I am Sure NBC will become #1 overtaking other Networks and reaching ABC-7...

how can i get on the show?

Dear banker: first of all i always admire you the way you play the game, trying to send the contestant as much as possible with less money well i think that is the way of the game, but how do you calculated when you give them the offer.

Man, it must be nice getting paid just to be an jerk! That's all part of the drama, huh? My question is, how do you live with yourself? (I don't need to even ask if you're married). Have a nice day!

hello banker i love you lol no i love Howie head ok i what to now why you put always the women ?? why not put some man for the women who watch the show !!!! tk you

Hi Banker,
Is there a deadline for submitting applications by mail? Do contestants/supporters have to pay for travel to CA, if chosen to be on the show? Thanks... love your show! :)

Dear Banker Guy,
I have a question. I want to know what a conversation between you and Howie on the phone during the show usually consists of.

Dear Banker Guy,
I have a question. I want to know what a conversation between you and Howie on the phone during the show usually consists of.

I am a young viewer, and Mr. Banker, you're just like my dad. He wants me to have "as little as possible."

As little computer time as possible, that is.

well from what ive seen black people have really good luck but make the stupidest decesions ever! 250,000+ on the bank offer deal and u got them. even if there are 4 freakin high case amounts. for the next contestent get a black a docter.(a good one)

Mr. Banker?
we'll i'd like to know how to get on the show? what do i have to do? thanks for the reply and, God bless
P.S. if i had to guess id say perhaps Donald Trump

well, banker i am really surprised at all these people who think that you are an important part of the game and that YOU actually make offers!!!! Its just statistics and ANYONE can sit up there, run the program and come up with the offer.....It wouldn't matter if a different person is up there everytime!! Sorry to disappoint you guys!!!

Unfortunatly,my cable went out during a commercial last night (Oct,30) and didn't get to see anything after the banker offered Keven O'Brien the second $24,000. Please reply. Thanks

Are you Charlie from the TV show Charlie's Angels?

I love the show! I don't think the "Banker" does anything up there in his little booth, come on folks, its all done by some kind of computer, doing all the figuring, has to be. I sure wanted the guy last night (Oct. 30th) to do well but knew it was doomed by the 5th case, poor guy. Some folks just have no luck.
Happy Halloween Everyone! Be safe!!
Blessings, Cindy (Houston, Texas)

Bonjour Banker !!
I 'm so happy to here that you are coming to Canada & I hope that you have the pleasure of "dealing" with moi !!! Au plaisir Lolita de Montréal , Do you know how I can apply .

Mr. B, My guess is, you're a consumate poker player, as is evident, by the fact you have the advantage in discerning the contestants "tells", yet obscure your own. I have no doubt, you've banked a few times in your finace background ; ) Like our president, you have a job very few could do, I hope you make more $ than Howie, you're probably worth your weight in gold. You have a distinctive profile and a great sense of humor. LMAO at the "pencil in the flesh comment". Keep up the good work and blog on Mr. B

Hmm. Between wearing Holly's hat and saying something to the effect of 'Please take home something' to Kevin tonight...I think your therapist might be pleased. Maybe she'll think you've made a bit of progress with the 'immersion therapy' she's subjecting you to.

I dunno though...something tells me you'll be right back to plotting the downfall of future contestants - and enjoying it too - soon enough. *g*

hey mr banker.. will we eveer see your face?? and who has been your favorite contestant

Hey, I was wondering if the amounts you offer are based completely on mathematics, or if there is some wiggle room based on the contestants mindset, and the actual briefcase they have? I'm pretty much sure you know what they have as soon as they pick it, so it would seem that it would affect your offers.

Also, on the mathematics, is it a flat rate (basically, a little below the middle amount), or if it is weighted based on actual amounts? From a statistical standpoint it would seem better to base it on the amounts left. For instance, if $10, $100, $1,000, and $10,000 were left, a flat rate would say to make the offer a little below $550 (average of the middle two), say at $500. This would give the show the higher chance of saving money. However, a weighted offer would be a little less than $2,777.50, the average of the 4 amounts. This would present an exact balance of potential earnings vs potential losses (at $7222.50 either way), even though it presents a greater chance to lose then to gain. This would be a better method from teh show's standpoint, since the goal is to get the contestant to take the money. The weighted, though at face value seems more expensive, would result in more deals, and would statistcally result in an overall lower payout.

Do you think it would be smarter for the contestant to play the game with flat or weighted strategy? Flat would be more stable, but less profitable. Weighted would be more of a gamble. But isn't that what the game is about anyways? Thanks for your time.

-Alex

Mr Banker...
i was wondering how you calculate the offers. do you use some sort of averaging or use probability?

Mr. Banker, do you use statistical performance of the show participant to determine the next monetary offer? Just curious is all.

Hello Mr. Banker, you look very mysterious up there. I would like to do your job when you go on vacation. How does it feel to give money away. I have all of the games .The handheld ,the board, the dvd, the electronic and I watch the show. I always I have won the money but i never get it. I still have fun. I guess one day we see you. have fun

1) What happens if you have to go to the bathroom during the show?

2) Does the dim light in your little banker room strain your eyes?

3) Do you personally create the prize packages? (Like that one deal for the Jets fan)

You are such a dork. This man ( Kevin O'Brien) has an 8 month pregnant wife,he's living with his in-laws and you don't care!Jeez,you give the richer people alot but this guy,nothing. Let him play again!

Hello Mr. Banker. Does it bother you when contestents get nasty to you during the show? And my husband would like to know why you move your hands so much while talking to Howie on the show. Thanks for answering these questions in advance!
Laura
P.S. Are you ever gonna make a new blog entry?

how can you sign up to be on the show?

I love this show....I have tried to become a contestant, to no avail. I have sent in a video tape that shows a complete stage that I made for DOND. I dressed up 26 of my daughter's Barbie dolls with dresses that I made, I shaved a Ken doll and made a goatee on him to look like Howie, I made all 26 cases by hand, the whole stage, everything. I still did not get picked. I would do ANYTHING to get on this show. Do you have any "pull" with the producers? Could you help? Thanks, Banker....I LOVE YOU

Hey Banker,are YOU SLIPPING?

HET EVERYONE ,COME GET FREE STUFF for 2007!!

I just wanted to know why no one from Nebraska has won any prizes from the lucky case game at home. It seems that something might be wrong with your retrieval of answers from the internet. If not, how do you verify that all correct answers are given a proper chance to win?

Thank you for your consideration to this question.

Sincerely,

Daryl Wyatt (Nebraska)

I have cancer but I'm 16. I was wondering if your show would let me on if I asked for that as my make-a-wish?

Yo, Yamo... did I or did I not read once that you and one of the models had develped a certain affection for each other? I can't seem to find it in your archives, but I am positive that I read it in one of your blogs. What happened, Model-Man?

Why don't you offer higher amounts for the first offer after the person has opened six cases? When the show first started, I think you were being more generous.

HeyyDude!

Show your face okay unless if you are really ugly than forget what i just said. and what is your name. are you a robot?

omg! i love pickles and apple juice! ya me!

I heard the show is coming to Canada. When? How do I get on?

Mr. Banker I think you love your job and I love watching you do your job

Banker. Banker. BANKER!!!

Are you dead? You haven't posted anythin for over 20 days. Nor have you responded to may ongoing question.

Still waiting on a response about Candaians applying for the show!!!

I would love to go on a cruise with my wife. She has worked an a cruise ship for a few weeks - before we were married - and I think it would be awesome to go on a Caribian cruise. Amongst the many things that I would give the $$ to, there are a few things I would like to do for myself.

Talk to you soon.

Don

are u really telling howiie the amount or is howiie making it up and y dont u show your face are u ugly ar just scary if u are show your face on hollowine

are u really telling howiie the amount or is howiie making it up and y dont u show your face are u ugly ar just scary if u are show your face on hollowine

are u really telling howiie the amount or is howiie making it up and y dont u show your face are u ugly ar just scary if u are show your face on hollowine

are you nice in real life or always mean on the game like when howie say;s when hes about to tell the bankoffer

I'm just curious how do you decide what to increase or decrease the amount you offer each time? is it all about odds, percentage, or what?

LOL WHY DON'T YOU WANT TO SHOW WHAT LOOK LIKE AND WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN TO PEOPLE IN THE SHOW AND WHY DON'T YOU LET THE PEOEPLE ARE PICKING CASES WHY WON'T YOU LET THEM TALK TO YOU$

i have two qeutions the first ne is do you like soccer and the second question is why are so mean to some of the people and are you and howey good friends??????????????????????????????????????????????????

I think this is a great show and can't wait until I'm lucky enough to be picked to match wits with you MR. BANKER, because it is not just emotion its brain power also and I think I may be your match and if not I'm going to give you a run for the money.

The summer is magic!

The summer is magical!

I love the show . How does a Iowa Farmer get on the show ?

I HAVE A BIG PIGGY BANK
(3 1/2 FEET TALL& 85 POUNDS) I WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO THE SHOW . IT'S BRIGHT PINK WITH LONG EYE LASHES AND EAR RINGS .
IT'S HILLARIOUS

First of all, Aaron... that was Laura Karkau from Season One (Deal for $96,000; Case $400)

And second, I want to do the sound effects for the show, including the drum sounds when the offers reach $100,000!

hallo

Hello Mr.Banker.

will you ever show your face????? Just curious hehehehehehehehehe

does anybody ever win from playing lucky case online...????

I think people tend to forget your not forcing anyone to play the game. Its all about taking a risk. They take that risk by being on the show. People say you take away a million dollars from people. If it were their million dollars yea then you would be taking the million dollars from them. But its a CHANCE to win a million dollars. So I have to disagree with the haters. Do they write to the government when they play the lottery which is also a CHANCE to win? Banker keep doing what ya doing! Love the show!

Hey Mr. Banker, Will you ever show your face?

Love the show! Tell me, do you actually talk to Howie, or does he make the whole thing up. In other words,do the producers flash him a number and the rest is showmanship?

Just had a talk with my Sr. Pastor here at the church that I work for. I told him that he works too hard and puts in too many hours!!!

He is planning a sabbatical next year, but since church giving has been down he doesn't think that it will happen. There simply won't be any money in the budget for it!!

If I won even 100,000 I would make sure that he could get the much needed rest.

But only you can make that a possibility by allowing Canadians to apply for the show.

Will you allow that?

Don

Mr. Banker sir, I think you should know that Captainsandwich at the ABC Lost General Board has QUIT your show god, Howie Mandel, in act of frustration.

Evidence of this is posted here.
http://o.forums.go.com/abc/primetime/lost/thread?threadID=1344990

To get back in his good graces, Captainsandwich will take a good deal on a briefcase and a slot on your show.

Deal or no deal?

So Mr. Banker man How much money do you end up giving away in a season?? I like the show but don't think I would ever wanna play becuase it brings the worst out in you getting greedy is wrong and that is generally where most people end up. I wanna work hard for my money, and truely earn it.

Hey. Who was the most annoying contestant you ever had on the show?

Love the show, need help in getting adobe to read the application after I downloaded it, uless you are scared of me getting the millon!!!!!!

Hey Banker, Love the show, however, the Lucky Case game rules say you can only submit 10 entrees. What happens if you submit more than 10? I submit mine from the website, not a cell phone.
Do you guys really keep track?
Are all (cell and web), entrees counted?
Please advise,
Thanks,
Rob

HEY BANKER... DO YOU SAY THOSE THINGS HOWIE SAYS?? WELL JUST CURIOUS... AND WILL WE EVER SEE YOUR FACE... OR ARE YOU HIDING BECAUSE OF ALL THE PEOPLE

I love the show and would love to win money for my car insurance lucky case help me out.

i like the show very much but i think it shows how much greed affects our choices in life. I want a new house becomes I want more money as the offers go up. I could buy a lot of house for 100,00

I like your sarcasism. have you ever been in the public eye before the show? do you put big amounts in the suitcases of the more popular numbers? how old are you? what college did you go to? My mom says hi :-)

What was the LARGEST FIRST offer you ever made? Also, I never used to watch Deal or No Deal. I woudl flip to it during commercials. Somehow I am SOOO addicted to it! I literally stand behind my wall during the last rounds of the game b/c I get SOO nervous. Then, when I hear the sound of the case opening, I cover up my eyes and say "please please please"

Am I crazy or what? LOL =)

Hello Banker!! I have this question to ask you. We know that the models are not aware of how much money is in their case, but do you know what amounts are in which case? Or are the offers based solely on probability?

BTW, I love watching this show, an old friend of mine that I went to high school with holds your case #26, Lindsay! I used to play softball with her.

Why is internet gambling illegal, yet you can send in a $.99 text message for a chance to win a prize?

Hey, greed is what this show is all about. How does one get a chance to be a contestant on this show? Am I over-looking an entry form on the site? Great entertaining show. Thanks

Are you LORNE MICHAELS?
And if you are would you even tell us?

Whose money are you are actually "offering" on the show? NBC's?

I like your attitude! are you married? If not would you ever consider a date. I am a RN in Milwaukee 37 ( old, huh), I am told I am cute, but no guarantees, I am vertically challenged (short), ad I look like gidget! ha ha.
Laura

So, why the big secret with your identity? Inquiring minds want to know.

i love this show. i love how suspensful it is.

I totally love this game! And I totally agree there are a lot of greedy people. Although I'm probably one of them when there is so much money at stake! Which BTW, there's an online game show I just discovered because right now they are giving away 1 million dollars! I've been playing all morning when I'm supposed to be working!

Here's the link:
http://goldrush.aol.com?ncid=AOLGRH0005000000033

There are only 5 things about Deal or No Deal I like. You, Howie, the Ladies, Wanting to be one of those ladies, and to meet you and Howie in person as I am very much a fan. That would be a dream of a life time. Thank you Banker.

Well... Mr. Banker who ever you are, you sure know how to give up good offers... people are just greedy... shesh 20,000 is GREAT! to me. Even if one million dollar's would be like landing in Heaven... but ill be sure to apply for this show, I seen it once and im hooked. Great show, but you my friend,.... ehh are cool.... very cool.. me and you are probably brothers meng. Lol No, im just kidding but you are cool.

I absolutly love this gameshow, Howie is great, and I am applying to go on the show to take you on,greed is never a good thin, I know when to say Deal. GREAT SHOW !!!!

I love the show and think deep down you're a good man. I have a 5 month old daughter and would love to be on that show since we're low on money now. But hey whatever happens, happens.

Oh... to be able to apply to the show. But as it stands, I can not. For I am a Canadian ciizen. We have better beer, we have many attractive ladys, we have free health care, but what we lack is the ability to be allowed to apply for "Deal or no Deal".

But you, yes you Banker can make that change. You could brindge that gap and allow the application ot come from north of the border.

You have had a Mexican who is living in the USA, and claims not to be American, you have had a lady from over seas who has lived in the UAS for 2 years. It can't be the cost of transportation that excludes Canadians from applying, as you flew over a contestants mother form another continent.

So what is it? Where is the problem? CBS and the Price is right allow Canadians, so why not NBC and Deal or no Deal?

If I won I would buy our church some comfortable chairs. We are using wooden pews right now. I would also buy us a projector to use on Sunday mornings.

(For more of my ideas to spend the $$ read my other posts.)

THIS SHOW IS BETTER THEN ANY DONALD TRUMP, MARTHA STEWERT, REGIS, I THINK THAT YOU GET MY MEANING. I HOPE THAT THIS SHOW NEVER EVER GOES UNDER FOR ANY REASON. JUST ONE MORE THING I WAS WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED TO APRIL THE MODEL THAT HELD CASE 14.

Have you ever made or thought about making a decision based on what a player has said they planned to do with the money?

The model & Howie R all good but you royally SUCK. Rotten eggs smell better than you. They need a deodorant out there 4 your overwhelming stench, but unfortunately, it hasn't been invented yet.

Banker, How many times has someone had more than $1 million in their case? and has anyone ever won $1 million or more?

When I read your blog, dont you think driving a pencil into your flesh is a little harsh. But anyway there would be no Deal or No Deal without you and Howie, but mostly you.Well have fun reading 305 e-mails BY.

BBBBBanker,

You have challanged us to ask intelligent questions, and I believe that I have. Yet you fail to respond. Why is that? For a quick witted individual, you don't even have a mocking response to my question. So I'll ask you again,

"Will you, or will you not allow Canadians to apply for the show? Not for special treatment above those that have applied, but simply the oppertunity to apply."

Don

Are you restricted to simply mathematical calculations to reach your offers or do contestants lose some of their negotiation edge by revealing personal information such as employment?

i think that you are very fare about the price amount you offers, it hard decision. i watch the show on my days off and love it.
some contestents become greedy sometime and i love it when you lower there offers!

Hey Banker,
The Lucky Case game rules say you can only submit 10 entrees. What happens if you submit more than 10? I submit mine from the website, not a cell phone.
Do you guys really keep track?
Are all (cell and web), entrees counted?
Please advise,
Thanks,
Rob

If I had money, I'd tell yah what I'd do. I'd go and buy, a nice car or two.

Working for a church doesn't pay a lot and therefore I had to give my my car when I got married and became a youth pastor. I live in a smaller town, so biking, rollerblading, and walking are all options. It does however get cold here in winter, like -24 (fahrenheit). It would be great to have a car esspecially for those days.

All I need to know is if Canadians can apply for the show?

What do ya say?

Don

hey, Banker
I love the show , and the amounts of money that you put on the game is really really high !!! And the highest one that you put on there is like over 1,000,000 dollars!!! and that is alot !!!

Love the show!
My wife would love to apply to be a contestant, but she is not a US citizen. Can Legal Resident Aliens apply to be on the show?

Are there any more casting calls planned in the near future?

Thanks!

Dear Mr Banker:
I am glad that you upped the offer for kathy...Thank goodness she took the deal...Greed is NOT good. You come with nothing and can leave with GOOD money is a good thing...I would have walked when you offered 237K...

Here's what I was trying to post in it's entirety: I love this show and up until now have rooted for the contestants but this Mexican has pissed me off and I hope he wins the .01! If you live in America for 22 years then YOU ARE AN AMERICAN, you may have originally come from Mexico City but that's not where you came from today to play the game!!! You can't have it both ways buddy, you are Mexican or you are American and if you are so damn proud to be from Mexico City and forget where it is you have been living for the last 22 years then you can just freakin go back there!!!!! Don't offer him crap, banker, tell him to go home!

Give this lady some money ,come on the whole left side is practicaly gone

Dear Mr. Banker:

I suppose you like being a kind of Nemesis to the contestants. You have offered VERY tempting bribes in the past (NY Jets Dream package, a custom tractor, etc...)

If you discovered that it were someone's dream to own a leer jet, would that turn up in some offer you'd make them?

Just curious

hi, banker i was wondering how do they randoamly place the the amounts bacause thats been on my mind since half way through the 1st season......
and p.s. you are up there with howie you are pretty cool and one more question do they change bankers or is it always 1 ????

This is the greatest show...ever. Monday Night Football has finally met it's match. Mr. Banker.....Your funny..Thanks for the laughs...Terry in Sanofrd Florida

This is the greatest show...ever. Monday Night Football has finally met it's match. Mr. Banker.....Your funny..Thanks for the laughs...Terry in Sanofrd Florida

I'm a math teacher. I'd be curious, if you are allowed to say, as to what type of math is involved in the offers you make. What factores/odds do you take into consideration

You asked for intelligent questions, so I have one for you.

You mentioned earlier that you try to read the contestants' faces. Does this mean you don't always use the same meathod to determine your offers?

Love the show!

Great show! I've watched it since the very first show back in 2005! I play the online game as well as a hand held single player and a 4 player version and the first offer I am capable of getting from the online games and both the hand held and 4 player version has a front digit of a 3! You should be very afraid of me!

I think the show is a hit!! I would like to know how the lucky case winner is choosen? Isn't the show on at different times across the U.S.? I know I text message my pick 4 to 6 times a show and I do pick the right one most times but I never win,WHY? LOL
I would be HAPPY with the 10 or 20 thousand from it to pay off my bills. Any way GREAT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Banker, Do you know which case has the one million in it??

Love the show but I would like to know if you apply for the show do you have to pay to get out there yourself or is it already paid for?

Mr. Banker

What is the percentage of winners that have won by submitting their entries online for the Lucky Case game?

hey banker my daughter just played the online game and was down to the $300 case and the $1,000,000 and guess who won? hehe my 12 year old daughter!!! If only it was the real thing!!!!

Hey Banker...haven't been watching long but am very intrigued...my mother's an accountant and I hope to follow suit.....very interesting, your job, I may very well try to have it one day....so you just watch out, huh.....Great job NBC The show's a hit if MY husband bothers to stay awake until the end....

Good deal

http://www.my.ws/victorott

Stress ball tonight? hmmmm are you getting nervous? :O

Mr. Banker,

I would like to know what algorithim (sp?) you use when you calculate the offer. I want to know, because when I play the game with my sister, I usually end up in your desk, so to speak.

what i would like to know is this: What are you doing behind that computer or monitor. Do you sit there and figure the odds or are you watching the action that is happening down on the floor? Either way, i love your job!

Hello Mr. Banker. Does it bother you when contestents get nasty to you during the show? And my husband would like to know why you move your hands so much while talking to Howie on the show. Thanks for answering these questions in advance!
Laura

I would like to know if the banker knows which case holds the million before the show and if he really makes up the amounts as the game goes on.

hey banker, how much for the models?

Hey Banker,

Waiting for a reply about, "aboot" Canadians applying for the show.

Ya know "eh", it would be really great "eh" if you would let us Canucks aplly for the show, "eh".

So what do say "aboot" it, "eh"?

Yah know, if I ... uh ... had a million dollars, I would ... uh... be able to do a lot of freat stuff, "eh".

Actually, I had a million dollars I would fly some people from our church to Napal, where we are looking at teaming up with one of there local churches. But only you Mr. Banker, can make it work for me to be able to apply to the show!!

Don

Hey Banker! Whats up man, whats with the hidden identity? Kinda cool though if ya ask me! But any who I love the show and I think I'm addicted to it. You guys have Deal or No Deal Rehab? HaHa! Have a good show!

Hello again,

Another Question, Every show, are you the same one in the bankers seat? Or are there several of you that rotate.

Many thanks.

Mr. Banker,

I enjoy the show. You can sure be mean though with your comments to the contestants. My question to you is, are you *always* like that when you're not even in the banker's chair?

Thank you.

Mr. Banker
How often do you read and respond to the emails?
Does the show pay for you to get there to be a contestant? How often are the shows taped?
Thanks

Why is it that only twenty percent of the home winners are from east of the Mississippi River? Does the "Left Coast" have a time delay advantage?

Just one question. Are you the producer or director of the show?

When the tapings for December 25 air, the words you should say on the phone are "Call me Scrooge because I am the miser on this show."
The 26 models will probably wear holiday Santa hats and Howie will describe the models as 26 of Santa's Little Helpers and letting the Santa contestants bring them out on stage.

Hey 9 year old again,banker you don't make offers Howie does your a frod

p.s one show gave you a clue.

MR SIR
i LOVE THE HAT IT IS A GOOD LOOK FOR YOU.

Man, you've got a kick butt job. Your on tv, famous, and no one knows what you look like. You are famous and still can go out in public like normal. The best part, being a bad guy! COOL!! Everyone loves to hate the bad guy. You put Charlie to shame. (Charlie's Angles) Rock On!!

What's the mathmathical formula from which you derive your banker offers? When I think I've got my finger on it, I get it wrong. Do you also tak into considerastion the player and likelihood of going for a lower offer, or is it strictly statistics-based. Thanks

IS THERE ANYWAY TO GET ON THE SHOW IF YOU ARE'NT ANNOYING? I KNOW THERE ARE AUDITIONS, BUT AFTER WATCHING THE SHOW THIS SEASON, MY FIRST SEASON, I SEE A TREND. BE AN IDIOT, MAKE MONEY, DO YOU EVER HAVE NORMAL PEOPLE WEEK?

which model is ure fav sir?

Mr. Banker
I think you are not very good at offers. If i was you, i would just give someone a lot of money, just to get them to go away if they are really annoying.

Mr Banker how come everytime they don't show your face

How do you decide on an offer? Is it calculated or is it whatever you want?

Hello Mr. Banker. Does it bother you when contestents get nasty to you during the show? And my husband would like to know why you move your hands so much while talking to Howie on the show. Thanks for answering these questions in advance!
Laura

You need to raise the prices a little more because u can get them to leave so they dont get that million dollars banker ok ok do that.

Hello Mr. Banker: Will it ever be told who you are?
If one picks the case while watching the show (submitting their guess online) are they called prior to the name appearing on tv?
What does it take to be chosen to be a contestant and why the video?
Thank you!!

Hi "banker" how are you? I have this theory, that you are some un-named producer of the show. But honestly, from what I can tell, you're offers are really proportional to what numbers are left on the board. People need to just quit wondering what you are trying to "achieve" by this show and pay attention to the real point....all those gorgeous ladies. Oh, and by the way, why is there 28 models on the website, and why do some of the models move on the show? Is it a turnover rate, or what? Anyways, all I really have to say is don't get rid of #3, Lisa Gleave. Because if I was on stage, that number would be my case, and she would also be coming home with me....

some of the comments about rednecks are so unwarranted...at least the English language is spoken...Lynard Skynard, Molly Hatchet, 38 Special, the south will rise again...go Charlie Daniels, and too bad for the ones that left the red neck messages...don't come down to our town...freaks

Personally, I like the scenario of a shadowy man of mystery offering cash bribes to vulnerable players.

I like the "good cop, bad cop" interplay that you and Mr. Mandel create.

I must admit that I'm often embarrassed to see greed override apparent good sense, but I keep watching.

...which is the whole point of the show.

I could go into the whole numbers thing, the choice to use 26 cases and not some other number, how it's double that sinister number 13, but I won't.

Odds on, the show is the real winner.

yo banker! I want to know......What do you look like? No one has ever seen your face and I want to know what you look like. That's all from me. Oh,wait. No, nevermind. I got one more thing to say.....That south Carolina girl....she lives in the same state as me. :) GO SC!!!!

yo banker! I want to know......What do you look like? No one has ever seen your face and I want to know what you look like. That's all from me. Oh,wait. No, nevermind. I got one more thing to say.....That south Carolina girl....she lives in the same state as me. :) GO SC!!!!

'I need a break...

From these contestants with their constant whining. "That's not enough money, Mr. Banker. "You're so mean, Mr. Banker. Duh. Don't they get it? It's my job to get them off the show with as little money as possible. That's what I do. Seriously.

Don't even start with me about their little stories about their little lives. If I have to hear about another "deserving teacher, I'll hurl a bucket of bile right out the Bank window onto the stage.

These people should just be grateful for the opportunity. I've had to work long and hard for everything I've got. I don't have the patience any more for another pathetic bug crawling under my window mewling for money.

Enough.'

OMFG Banker you are a WIMP. If your tired of ppl annoying you, take it like a man and ignore an do your job. No one cares if you feel pissed. No one cares if you're getting angry at our questions. We only care about this: Do your damn job and answer SOME questions, not only the stupid ones smart-ass.

You seriously gotta get over yourself. you're not that great. ok fine, so your a math nerd. but you suck in all other aspects, and i know all players are really greedy, but grading them on thier attitude and personality makes YOU look weak. Just do the math and tell them the amount. and oh yea, my whole hometown county and my college campus all HATE you. And saying you dont grade them on thier personality and appearance is a LIE! just read through your other blogs. And, if you think your job is sooo bad, why dont you just use your math shit to climb up the Finacial ladder and become some AUTHENTIC big-shot banker??? hm? and no, your not mean, because we can NEVER HEAR WHAT YOUR SAYING OR WHAT YOUR FACE LOOKS LIKE! you just offer crappy amounts for your own pleasure, gain, and entertainment taking advantage of those lucky players who actually get a chance to get some money.

Man...you're after my title....I KNOW I am the BIGGEST a (in the ground) in S.C....

I was just trying to find out how to find out if you received my audition tape. I mailed around the end of May and havent heard a word on if you got it. I would love to be on the show and you would love me on the show. Any help would be great.

STUPID HAT!!! Anyway...please get on here more!!! Please???!!?? Well i am watching the show rite now and that country lady is really annoying!! Well...thank u for taking off the hat!! Cya around!

I agree with whoever said there are hateful comments on here. If you don't like the show, don't watch!!

BANKER,

Many people on this blog are trying to get you to pick them for the show, all they need to do is apply.

Me however, all I want to do is be able to apply. (I've made my case a number of times about Canadians applying.)

I am a youth pastor, so another thing I would do with a million is take my youth group on a mission trip to Mexico, where my wife and I have been a number of times and have a connection.

It's been 2 years since we have gone last, and it is always a life changing experience. You go to help and bless other people, but you come home as if you were the on who recieved something from the people you went to serve.

I wan to be able to apply!!

Don

1 vs. 100 great show not as good as dond but still good.

advertise you site free with this
http://www.freeviral.com/?r=100535

I like the show. I would like to come on the show & challenge you. I could also use the money too..

My hat is off to those that take the time to fill out the application and then go to the auditions. I am not interesting enough to make the show and also don't have the patience to fill the stuff out, so i respect all those that even try to make it. I hope some day somebody does get "lucky" and get the million.
Good Luck to all that apply and tha banker is doing an awesome job of not giving a bunch of money away except duringt the specials.
That country gal sounded exactly like my wife when she said "Oh Lord" that seems to be a southern saying. Glad she go some good money.

smart good deal

If you know what GDI is click my name!

You're right..I apologize. I love 38 Special, Charlie Daniels and Texas actually. Oh and lookee there..Mr. Banker Man put on the hat. Let's all hold hands and sing Kumbaya...sigh.

You the man, you put on the hat!

Nobody will ever win the million because when it gets down to the final 3 or 4 and it is still there, you will offer more than they should refuse, and i don't blame them.
choice of 1 mil or 1 dollar, i would take the offer of 600,000 or whatever it was. So far there have been some greedy peole on, so you have done your job as banker.

She's awsome. You go country girl.

there are some hateful comments on this blog....r u people just jealous your not on the show, and have nothing else to do but bash other's..how disturbing ... Lynard Skynard, the South is gonna rise again...go Charlie Daniels Band, Molly Hatchet, 38 Special, and the late Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Jr., etc. etc.

I have to say, I think it's hilarious the banker said "I'm not putting on that stupid hat." Ouch..ol' mama didn't thank eet was awl too fuhnny tho now did shay? Po thang...

greed kills

With 62,000 she could have bought a bra that fits, lets hope she doesnt spill out any further.

62k twice should have took it.

500k gone the banker is getting lucky.

Another redneck speaks....

Hi Banker,

I think it would be really funny and entertaining if you got a voice synthesizer and spoke directly to the contestants. Boy would they be surprized at what you had to say! LOL (P.S. Since you are there to SAVE money, it would cut down the cost of that silly cell phone too.)

If she had half a brain she would take it...

leslie,
i wish they'd stuff that hat in your trap.

Cowboy hat??!!??
What ever gave you the idea that piece of crap was a cowboy hat??!!??

Put on the cowboy hat!! I want to know how I can get on the game~ I know I would be the million dollar winner and beat the banker!

I second that...NO MORE REDNECKS

I dont think you use weighted expected value , or average vale, or odds of expected value, so how much do you haircut the expected average payout in your computations?

Please Mr. Banker Man...no more spastic hillbilly's..ugh.. I can't take it!!!!

Mausimo, you just want to go all the way at everything

Dear Mr. Banker

If I ever became a contestant on Deal Or No Deal I would go ALL THE WAY no matter what offer you made me!!! And thats a promise!!!
Kind regards (With a smile)

yeehaw from Arkansas!!!!
Woo Pig SOOOOOIE!

Ouch 1,000,000 gone! Banker you love that one.
http://www.coolkom.com

Are you sure she isnt a guy in drag. Her voice is awfully deep when she gets excited.
Yeah the two big monies are gone!
No million for the redneck!

Will you answer the question that was asked, about how many at home winners are from online entries?

Hey, Banker, I was just wondering say you could clone yourself and play against you; the Banker contestant vs the Banker. Also I was wondering about what you think of Howie, would he be a good contestant?, do you and him get along and/or talk(besides from the phone)?

SHE WILL BE THE FIRST BIG WINNER OF 1 MILLION $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Grab a good deal of s___ by clicking below!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Banker,

You need to find some new people for the show. Some that actually have it! You know what I mean. I have it ,but I have no support system so I am screwed!
I want to be more entertained when watching ,but some of the people on there make me want to turn the channel.

PUT ON THE HAT!

Dont put on that stupid hat and get rid of that red neck.

We have all asked, and will continue to ask, how many of the play at home winners were "online entries"? AND how come that Thom guy didn't use his last name, only an initial. I thought you had to consent to the show using your first and last name as well as hometown. Just strikes me as odd.

Hey banker I hope you spend alot today. lol
www.coolkom.com

I think you need to give me a chance on this show how do I sign up? This show is amazing please let me know thanks

My only question, that I will probably never get answered, is: How many home contestants win the money that use the internet to play or do you only pick from the text messages??????? Thank You

hello mr.banker so what do u really look like :)

hey banker how come you will not talk to no one on the phone show your self sometime. nice about that one girl that you tryed to offer the tractor to. :)

Hey Banker,
I think most of these comments to you are lame thus far, however, my husband and love the game, he likes to guess what amount you will come up with next. He gets it pretty close most of the time. Keep the game going, it's great.

Ok according to the many blogs I have seen since you guys started the show the banker name is peter. Now Peter here is part of my thoughts on this show. You have somewhat of a good show there chap, although I was wanting to know
1.Is there a formula to the placing amounts of the suitcase Like #1=.01 and so on
2.what is your madness forumla for all the offers you make on the show.

Please write me back and televise these answer on your show.

I do keep track of my email, so I may post everyday until I get my answers, thanks.

Again good job on ratings

And this time I would like to see the million dollars bashed and replace the million and replace it with a b and turn it into a billion dollars.

Thanks
Brian

Mr Banker

Your odds were wrong and you mislead the audience on 10/19. There were 6 cases left and you said the odds are 1 in 6 the million dollars was in the contestant's case (the zookeeper). In fact, the odds are only 1/26 chance that it was in his case since he picked it when the odds were 1/26 at the beginning. The odds are 25/26 that it is in one of the remaining 5 unopened cases. Please correct this in the next show!

HI BANKER I LIKE TO BE LIKE YOU HOWIE AND THE MODELS WHY DON'T YOU EVER SHOW YERSELF AND ANSER OUR QUESTHONS ON THE BLOG. HEY MR.BANKER DID YOU MAKE UP THIS HOLE SIGHT AND YOUR BLOG? HEY MR.BANKER YOU SHULD MAKE A I AM THE BANKER ON DEAL OR NO DEAL ON NBC.HEY MR.BANKER DO YOU MAKE THE GAMES THE MUG AND THE T-SHIRT? HEY MR.BANKER DO YOU LIVE AT THE STUDIO? HEY MR.BANKERHOW LONG DO YOU STAY IN YOUR ROOM? SINCERLY CODY

im going to share this with my fellow viewers...

peter (the banker) determines the offer by the average, and the psychology of the person..he did have to go through some tough clases. he has stated this several times.

I love the way you sometimes throw in "goodies" along with the cash.

I gotta ask.. do you really say the things that Howie says you do? I know the money comments are yours, but the others... are they?

First.. I ENJOY THE SHOW! But down here in Mississippi we feel left out. We want to win too!!

Hey Banker I am trying to make my tape to submit but I am wondering how creative I have to be it say's be creative I am have a creativity slump could use some pointers I love the show and really want to get on
Karen

Hey there Mr. Banker i would like to know if there have been any winners who play the online lucky case game..

Banker sir, what do you really say to Howie? Is he just being nice about your remarks?

How do you calculate the offer (or do you even "calculate" it)? Do you use a formula, or do you just make an approximation based on the person's luck?

How come Jim the mailman wasn't in the "Winners Circle" We want to see his adorable dimples again!!!!

Dear Banker,

I was wondering about how exactly you work out your calculations, it must be someway related to the arithmetic mean, but how do you calculate the range, or wiegh the mean.

hey, sup banker
I,m 9 years old but I love your show

P.S
you remind me of Simon Cowell

Hey banker, i just want to know why you never show your face; and i just want to know why very few contestants ever had enough courage to go to the very end, please respond

Thanks for reading

joe

ps: I personally think the way you treat the contestants is hilarious.

Hey banker! What do you guys do with the bribes that contestants say no deal to? I mean, how many people would have use for a pink & purple tractor like the one on the 10/18 show?

Hey, Mr. Banker, One quick two-parter question. Did you have a hand in developing the home board game/DVD interactive game? And if so, what did you enjoy about it?

Thanks--DarkHeart

i think you do a great job being the banker

I am a poor man,single father of two boys 5 and 7. I can not afford to come up there but if I was on the show you would be so scared.thats a promise

It's easy to be rude when you don't have to show your face.

What would we do with a mill? I have 9 yr. old twins, a 7 yr. old, and a 6 yr. old...I would buy a house in the same city my stepchildren live in so they could be close to their daddy and we could finally bond the children they way they should. Right now we live 1300 miles away and it feels like 2 seperate families..Children need family more than anything...to me that is the most important thing I could do with any of that money.

Hey Banker,

I haven't got a response yet about Canadians being able to apply for the show.

I know you like competitive people so just to let you know, I was playing 1 vs 100 on line and played until I won, only took an hour.

By the way there is a problem with the 1 vs 100 on line game. If you scroll up to see how many of the mob is left, and then scroll back down to click on the answer you want it registars that you have clicked on a different answer.

So tell me how to apply.

Don

Banker..without you DOND would only be another game show...I just want to know if any normal run of the mill people get on..I camped out overnight and applied...NOW I WANT ON!

Banker:

I think yur awesome. I love Howie. Why don't you show your face, or are you scard?

Still caling you out Banker to answer my question regarding Canadians applying for the show.

Another thing that I would do with a million dollars is take my wife to Africa. She had been there once before to do mission work. My desire is that one day I would haev the possibility to go back with her, specifically to Congo - wher she went last time.

Congo is a war torn area, and has been for years. Being ablt to go there and sharing some resources would be very benificial.

But I need to be able to apply for the show for that to be a possibility.

Don

Hey Banker,

Still waiting for a reply about Canadians trying for the show!!

Know what I'd do with a "coll mill"?

One thing I would do is pay for my older sister to finish school. Her husband was spending the mortgage and hiding the letters from the bank. She tried to save the relationship, but he up and left her.

She in now working full time while going to school so that she can make a life for herself. (She has always been generous to her younger siblings.) I would love to pay her back in that way.

So will you let me apply for the show??

Dear mr Banker,
I think you should try to be polite to all of the contestients on Deal or no deal.

what is your name?

Hey banker, what is the formula you use to determine the offer? How old are you? Are you really a monkey?

Hi! I'm Sam and I watch D.O.N.D every chance I get. I LOVE the show. But I have one question I'd love to ask you. Doesnt it bother you to have people talk rudley or mean about when they dont even know who you are? I also have one more question, do you like Howie? Or do you two dont get along? I'd appreaciate it if you'd please answer.

Hi. I think that there would be no DOND without the banker. :P

Banker,
I know your true identity. i know your name. your are a phony jackass, and that's what i like about you. see ya, PETER ABBAY, if that is your real name.

Banker,

I don't care if the 1,000,000.00 is in the #8 case twice in a row, three times, or never there again.

I don't even care if you have guys holding the case.

All I want to know is when will you allow Canadians to try for the show. (No one is even complaining at my point.)

Don

My wife thinks that you should be an equal opportunity employer and you should have some guys holding the briefcases.

Did anyone notice that the million was in the same briefcase #8 that the lady from S. Africa picked and lost, after the Jets lady had it all along previously? I though the briefcases were changed after each contestant. The banker is cheating.

the banker on the website is bad. on the show he is good. I'd say the banker is a computer.

Hey Banker,

I'm challanging you again, why will you not let Canadians apply to the show?

You got a host who is from Canada, why not a contestant?

I am not asking that you show favoratism to me, but that you let me apply in the same matter as those from the USA.

(You obvoisly pick your contestants on personality, and I will show determination in this pursuit.)

You'll be hearing more of me,

Don

Will we ever get to meet the banker face to face?

why is it that canadians are not eligable for the show or even the online contest. that is so bogus, are americans afraid to let us on any of their shows

anyone like the flavor of saddness? selling 1 million for less than 200k haha thats what you get for listnening to your chickening family. good job Peter, you saved yourself a lot of money.

Has anyone really won the lucky case by entering online or are we just wasting our time?

i think you have a heart.

I always play the D.O.N.D. game online. I also purchased the electronic game where 4 people can play. I always win all deals---I keep winning!!! I would LOVE to challenge you on a deal!!! I am certain I can beat you!!! I want to be on the show just to take you on. Are YOU up for a challenge?

If you are to leave the show with more than you came with, then you are truly a winner!

Wow what a way to get a contestant to show his or here emotions by offering some type of dream experience. For any parent to make that kind of decision would be very difficult however the love of your child is to strong to ignore.

Ever notice when you play by cell phine, you get 4 replies for every one entry? I think they do this to charge you the 99c x times 4 times the number of players to pay for the pay outs...

A pink tractor, Jets football package, etc. Do you have a special package lined up for each contestant? If so, under what circumstances do you trot it out?

she is really wasting her time...ur rite banker

Dear Mr.Banker, My buddy Teddy Kowalski says he knows a guy who has a cousin that works for NBC and he says that when a contestant screws up and starts to curse or say things like "Oh heck!" or "Feh!!!" the director has to stop the tape and Howie tells them to say "It's OK Howie,It's OK!!" Is this true? Sometimes Ithink Teddy Kowslski is ful of baloney.

Man i hate it when they scream!!!

Hi again..............u finally got a new page...lol......u need to get on here more!!!!!!! cya later

Banker, I think you are great!! I don't think you are as tough or mean as everyone thinks you are. I have seen some of the prizes you have offered people and they show too much caring. Also, bringing families together? This is not the way a mean person acts, lol. So keep doing what you do so well. My husband and I think you are great and you and Howie together make for great tv.
Thanks banker!
Gina

What the deal with all the contestants and their entourage wearing khaki or black pants paired with pastel Easter Egg colored shirts???

I think that this show is amazing and that the banker is only to add to the dramatic effect of the show. As for these blogs made by the banker, it must be one man paid just to keep up with the site or something because who would waste their time reading the comment I am writing? Not anyone listed in the credits.... Dream on Banker...Dream on

i think that it all sucks in the end no louisiana people win the lucky case game huh

NO DEAL!go for it

If you know what GDI is then yo may need this

Dear Mr. Banker, If I were a cntestant I would win the big money! Then I could afford to buy a pair of those long shoes like Howie wears. My buddy Teddy Kowalski says that only gay guys wear those cool long shoes. I think Teddy is full of baloney. What do you think?

Hey Banker how about offering me to come up with the deal, I can make it to where they can't refuse, one time on the show by internet I will sit here in my own home, and give an offer, I bet I could get them to bite for a minimal amount, just let put together a package concerning thier favorite place.

I hope she makes it.

http://www.coolkom.com

Take it!

Hey uhhhh Banker if thtas your real name you need to show your face sometime.

Hey Banker. Have you ever been really angry with a contestant on the show making fun of you or not answering your calls?

A question to you:
Do you really call to the host?

Banker i think you need to show your face when people win a penny and 1,000,000 cause you are kinda weird and i bet people would lke to see your face so please do what this princess tells you!!!

Fun show... I wonder whether your offers are based on math only (probabilities), or, do you reduce your offer it the contestant looks desperate, ready to accept anything?

Mr. Banker, I think you do a great job. I love seeing desperate contestants making heart-wrenching decisions.

QUESTIONS: What do you do the other 23 hours of the day that the show is not filming?

Why do you not say witty comments after the contestants go to far with "No Deal" (e.g. $750 winnings instead of $200k)? Or is this all Mr. Mandel's doing?

The lucky case game rules say 10 entries per show.

Is this 10 per day, or can I enter ten times in each of the 3 separate drawings?

Mr.Banker, If You Don't Mind I Would Like To Assist You With Your Offers. Please Reply,Mike Ortiz

Dear mr. banker-

Shrewd is a great word to describe your nature. But do you make deals outside the show? "hunny, i need you to mow the lawn" "well how about i let you go shopping and you mow the lawn...deal or no deal?"

Hi Mr. Banker, Your show is great and fun to watch. 2 things please... Can we expect a little more comedy from you? And may I apply for a personal loan? :)

Are you really in that room or is that a fake??? How many bankers are there??? Do you really talk on the phone with Howey, or is that a fake too???

Hi,

I think you are one shrewd man.

My question is how you determine what you offer the contestant?

Is it a based on a %?

Have a great day.

Banker you said you wouldn't show yourself if somebody won the million. How about if they only got the penny?

I WILL WIN THE 50 THOUSAND FROM SPOKANE

Do you always open all the briefcases at the end of each contestant?

Do you think contestants really believe there is strategy to playing this game?

I'm curious about the program that you use to calculate the offers. It isn't always a direct relationship to the available odds. Do you offset it up or down based on your own input ?

Dear Banker,
We all seen you shake alot tonite are you losing your nerve or just realizing that all of us are just hungry for more of your money

I think its funny the way you talk to people on the show ...good job... What is the win to lose ratio to the money game for cell phone computer useers for the $10,000?

The Banker is an asshole from hell! That's all.

Is there any way you could tell P.J. that I want to Marry her? She needs no money, she's perfect as she is!!

I think the show is increasing in popularity! You forgot that early on in this season you lost $750,000! Gee, that must mean you ran into some rotten luck Mr. Banker instead of the contestant! You are as unpredictable as the model with briefcase #13!

Sir,
This is the greastest show on earth...EVER.... I have so much fun watching this show. I even watch it at the fire station when I'm on duty and prey that we don't get an alarm during the show. You and Howie make this show GREAT!!! Ya'll are funny and very entertaining. Thanks for bringing a great show like this to family viewers.

PS. A show like this would have brought Monday Night Football to it's knees...
:-)

Mr Banker -

After reading more of the posted comments, I came up with one more question.

Do the contestants on the show - or the people posting comments on here who can't spell, don't know what capitals are, etc - bother you more?

It's funny to me that the lack of coherent comments does not stop people from wanting to be your replacement, the next contestant or criticize you on your performance.

I can't help but wonder how those who criticize would do a better job - when it's obvious the application for employment would stump them.

Take care,
The Queen

Banker,
You should talk to your producers about having a kids Deal or No Deal week were we can win some money for our families. By the way, I love the show keep up the good work
Sincerely,
James 13 of Delaware

When does the filming stop? I'm sure yall get applications everyday, but is there a dead line? I'd like to know before I send my application. Thanks.

Why is it in the lucky case game no one from Georgia has ever won?

Hi Mr Banker -

I only have one question for you...

Don't the people who sit on the computer, asking ridiculously stupid questions - or begging like morons to be on the show (instead of actually READING the site for instructions) - get on your nerves?

I'm not the banker and I want to shoot them.

Take care,
The Queen

mr banker what is the statistacal probability of someone winning the million dollar prise.

I feel bad for the mail man but kudos for the tractor lady, she really took the bank.

Nice to "see you" back!!!!Your show is very entertaining,and nice to chill out to!!!

Mr. Banker,
I have the same mentallity as you because I can almost always offer the same amount as you. If you need a substitute let me know. Also how do I find out how to get on the show? Keep up the good work. If I ever get on the show though I am gonna get the big one, or have the big one.
John

Dear Mr. Banker. I personally think you are really cool and deserve more respect. Of course my buddy Teddy Kowalski thinks that Howie is cooler because he wears really long shoes (Howie not Teddy) From your fan, Chip

A few questions and observations, Mr. Banker:

1. What is the procedure that is followed before the game to ensure that the placement of the numbers in the suitcases is random?

2. Who knows the placement of the numbers? The banker? Howie? The ladies? What precautions do you take to ensure secrecy?

3. What is the mathematical formula to calculate the offers? Is it based on probability theory to compute the expected value?

4. It seems you could just add up all the dollar amounts that are still on the board and divide the total dollars by the number of unopened suitcases to compute the expected value in the suitcase. I notice your offers are often below the expected value which would not be a good offer. What exactly is the deviation of your offer from the expected value based on?

I also noticed that you can compute the offers very quickly once the contestant says "deal" and they ask what numbers they would have picked if they continued playing. It seems this business of "phoning in" the offers is more for dramatic effect. It slows down the show which reduces the number of rounds that can be played in any given episode.

so far she is doing great but no deal no deal

for the people that want to promote a site try this.

Mr.Banker,
you need to have a senior citizen contestant week. since you seem to be the older and wiser one.My mom of 81 who acts like a 60 year old and can work circles around us kids. and is sharp as a tack will be your first player.

the banker has got to be loving this!

http://www.coolkom.com

hey everyone, did ya like the "mail" models????

Mr. Banker I think your hot, I want to know how many Lucky Case winners were online voters vs cell phone voters. I think it is only the text message senders who win cause that charge applies and when it comes to making money vs free well free online looses out. Set me straight and tell me I am wrong.... POST THE STATS.....

he didnt take the 49,000 now he needs to stay to the end.

http://www.coolkom.com

Hey hey Mr. Banker, I Love the show and know that you truly must enjoy watching these people trip out! Maybe someday I will apply and bring my Freaky family and Friends to your stage, and give you a real laugh! You and Howie are the Bomb!

My 2 cats love Deal Or No Deal. Everytime the phone rings - they run to the TV and meow. They both really want to be on your show. I know you can only pick one so I think you should pick Einstein cause he is very smart. (His nickname is Slick)

That hurts

as a banker can you tell me how to help her.

johnny

So how many people won the play at home, lucky case game by entering online? Today you should pick Mary from VA, or Bill from FL.

your hard but fair and being out shone by Noel. It must be hard for a man with your inflated ego. Martin

Hello banker i am a younger watcher at the age of 14 and i am amused of your work, you have influenced me to be come a great banker just like you one day.

sincerly,
your secret apprentice Britinie

I finally figured out who you are!! You are Charlie from Charlie's Angel's coming out of retirement!!!

Dear Banker,

I think that you are HOT! Would you ever consider offering a contestant a date verses the money for their case?

Keep up the good work and by not knowing your ID. the show is more interesting.

hello i watch it acasionaly but im starting to like it alot but i as well have a question for you. do you ever feel sorry for any of the people that come on your show..lol i do oh yea and that stupid person about the canadians being beter than the americans well thats as true as a person (mostly canadians) going anywere in life
-cody-

of the payouts you have made for the home audience, have any of the winners ever come from online entries, or is only text messengers that have won?
www.caringbridge.org/mi/oliviasgrace

Dear Banker,

I am one of your extremely faithful CANADIAN fans. (As I'm sure Howie can attest, Canadians are much more loyal than Americans.... just kidding). Anyways, I love your show and think you should have a Canadian contestant night once a week - How about it Howie??? Let's give your own countrymen a chance at the million.... :)

it's cool show to watch

you are a bad person on the show every day each show i don't like you that much i stoped watching your show my bother like your show......................................................................................................................................................................................................................by for now.

you are a nice man on the show every show.

hey keep up the great job. can you help me please. what do i enter in the message box, the To: box and the subject box. email me back please

cool show! hey tell me please, i've been trying to text message the winning case but doesn't go through because i need another number before entering 59595 then the case number. it has to be some local or 800 number to dial yet nbc hasn't show it on tv at all. please help

Mr. Banker,
I think the show is great! My question for you is... After the contestant decides to take the deal, Howie asks them "If you didn't take the deal, what case would you have opened next?" Then they pick a case, and if it wasn't a large amount, Howie tells them the amount you would have offered. It seems to me that these amounts show up very quickly because during the show you take your time when giving an offer. Are these offers pre-determined?

The show is great. Howie is sexy. However " The Banker is a loser" Why not sell your self {and I mean stop hiding behind the glass and all the bright lights} as the lower prize or higher amount at least you'll know the contestants would take the NO DEAL.

I watch Deal Or No Deal sometimes banker just to see how greedy some contestants get...more or less they get vulnerable. I watched one evening with my family when one mexican woman lost her last big ammount of money on the board. I laughed. I bet you just loved to offer her the 500. Could you tell she was trying to go all of the way to the million? I mean c'mon, of course, everyone is when they get on the show. I think your a funny character actually. But if i ever get on the show the deal ill actually take is 350,000 dollars, only if im doing well. So do you know if that one woman on the show is getting the million? She looks like she has got the board in her favor (unfortuanately for you). Are you eager to see me on the show?? Ill take the deal mr.banker only if the price is right!!

have a nice night

What level of math did you take in highschool? I was thinking during Calculus class that you probably use some form of an alogrithm to help you analyze everything faster. Do you?

You don't have to acknowledge this publicly, but I know that you are, in fact, Bob Odenkirk of Mr. Show fame. Bless you sir, you are a comedic giant.

Are you an actor?

Hey, Banker, how are you? It is so cool how you are all in the mystery, makes the show more intense. You are so rockin'. If you ever want a person to fill in while you take vacation, give me a call. P.S. I won't even have to see you! :)

Hey, Banker! You totally rock. You are just doing your job and some of those contestants deserve NOTHING. If you ever need a "sick Leave" get a hold of me. P.S. I want to send in a video to be a contestant, so please give Howie a good word for me, lol :)

Mr. Banker, I would appreciate knowing how to get on the show as a contestant...I would love to give you a run for your money...and stay hidden it adds to the mystery, besides I don't have to see who I'm taking money from.

You are a good business man. Just thought I would say that.

Dear Mr. Banker,
If you were a contestent, how far would you go? Would you go all the way or would you bail out early and take the deal? Also what is the lowest amount of money in a deal that you would take?

Hey Banker, or is it Wanker? Everyone knows you're gay. Just admit it.

Hey Banker,

I gotta say that I kinda admire the fact you're able to just sit there and hear the other contestants giving you crap. One of the episodes a few weeks back, had a contestant: Matty if I remember his name right. Seemed awfully cocky to me. I mean, sheesh, 'Matty Day'. I was rolling on the commentary you made about hating it.

Anyway, I also have to say that, personally, I think it's better NOT to see you as more than a shadow... at least not until the last episode of the season. It'd take away from the mystery, and the... heh heh, anger... that the contestants rant on about.

Watching faithfully,
Matt

Good evening sir.I enjoy your secrecy,keeps me guessing.Great show.Dont like it when they taunt you .Would really like to talk to you,e-mail me,please.Thankyou for your time-J.Scott (you look like actor Roy Schieder/JAWS/is that you?)

hey I want to be on the show - How do I get to play against the BANKER!

I'm about to watch my last show; your offers are absurd; there doesn't seem to be any relationship to mathematical probablility and your offers. Particulary your alledged offers, i.e. had you stayed in the game and picked this case your offer would have been .... Why are those offers way OVER parity (i.e. more than the probably outcome) yet the real offers are much less?!?!?

Have you ever gone out with one of the models? Cuz I highly doubt you ever went on a date with anyone.

Are you an actual banker or just a really well-paid intern who gets to sit in a sky box surrounded by plasma screens? I was just wondering.

Mr. Banker,
You can be so rude to the players. Why is that. I know from watching that some of the players have wanted to make you drop there deal to ZERO. All in all i do get a kick out of you and the player, but some of the players are just out of there mind. I love the show and I try to watch it everytime it is on. Tonight the show has a woman on from a town called Swansea, SC which is only 45 minutes away and you are being rude to her. The show is a great show!!! Beth, Barnwell, SC

Im still waiting for someone to win in NH, so I feel ya Texas man!...

Im putting in a tape I wanna go on the show and kick the bankers @$$

Oh Yeah

J in NH

why hasn't anyone in Texas won the lucky case game.
come on !!!!

GIVE ME SUM MONEY BIOTCH!
softwaredevelopment@hotmail.com send it thru paypal. i can't afford a video camera to send in a submission to no deal! im broke. i use really itchy toilet paper and im way sick of ramon noodles! GIVE ME SUMMMM MONEYYYYYY. aight then. ya'll gone take care now lol AND OH let more UGLY PEOPLE get a chance to win money. tired of seeing pretty people get the chance! PTEWEY!

Do you really ask those questions or make smart a@@ comments when Howie gets on the Phone? Or is it all in the script? :) Thanks Banker

Hi Banker
Just thought I let you know you do a great job. The guy in the white shoes could have gone along time ago and was stupid for turning down one of his first very high offers that you made him and his white shoes were sure not lucky.
Ted

Hey Mr. Banker, love the show. Do you think we will
ever know who you really are? Keep up the great work....

Hey how in the word do you get on this super show? And could my airedale be on with me - he's my luckiest acquistion so far!!!!

the banker is catching a break. on the video game deal or no deal coming out, you get the choice of either being the player, or, you guessed it, being the banker!

I heard you don't where pants while making banking decisions, why is that?

Hey, Mr. Banker ~ With your sense of humor debonair ways, are you planning a spin-off with your own show next season? You are awesome!

Banker.

Have you ever worked your magic on the models?

How about that Lisa? Something else I tell you.

So you're my favorite. :D Keep up the great work.

I think the banker makes me giggle. ;)

Banker is a flake and a fake,and is going to loose the million tonight.(Even though it is NOT his real money anyway,please) IT IS JUST AND ONLY A GAME!

dear mr. banker

love the show, think your great.. wish i could be a contestant one day, i wouldnt get greedy ;-)

BANKER YOUR GOING DOWN. SOMEONE WILL GET THE $1MILL THIS SEASON!!!!!

BANKER YOUR GOING DOWN. SOMEONE WILL GET THE $1MILL THIS SEASON!!!!!

are you not listening....

male models!!!!

So did you consider inviting the WWEDivas to be models for a night? Check out WWEDivas.com

http://www.RealityTVBash.com

Whats Up Mr.Banker? How has your day been so far? I hope you lose alot of money tonight. I can't wait to see your shadow toodlez.

Good day Mr. Banker,

I wanted to comment about what you said concerning not letting emotions get in the way. One of the last episodes showed you offering just $1 higher than your prior bid. It was the episode where the player wore a model's dress coming out. I thought it was hilarious. I understand that's it's not emotions; I'm just giving you crap.

Anyways, I do have a question. I understand that your job is to be objective to all players, but have you ever had any situations where you just feel a tad bit of remorse or condolence for their reason to play? I remember there being several players with loved ones that they would like to see but couldn't.

Just my thoughts.

Charles - http://ctrlled.wordpress.com

Banker,
Heres some advise. If you
want them to sell their case
to you, you have to ofer
higher prices!!!! If an
ofer you gave me was
2,000,000, and the grand
prize is 6,000,000, I
would take the money.
Would,nt you?

Dear Banker,

I absolutely love the offers that are given out and the mystery that you give while appearing in the shadows, yet delegating huge amounts of money. YOU ROCK!

Hey I was thinking. The models are very beautiful but why not have a special night with WWE Divas. Goto WWEDivas.com to see them. I think that would bring many viewers to Deal or no Deal. A WWE Diva Night :P

What do you think?

I would have directed this question to someone else, however, there were no places to email the producers. I have two questions, how are the contestants chosen for your show and how come they don't have sexy male models for the women who play on your show?

HEY MR. BANKER, I WOULD NOT WALK OUT OF THERE WITH NOTHING LESS OF THE MILLION, I GOT THAT GAME DOWN!!!!!!

The fact is, most of us that work don't see in a year what some of these contestants are offered in an hour-long show. It boggles my mind, the greed level of the people on the show. Although I get excited for the one's that get lucky enough to make some money...I have to say to the others that lose it all "don't look a gift horse in the mouth". Most of us will never even get the opportunity to open the cases. Be glad for what you may get blessed with. But don't forget to pay your taxes, either!

It is I again, King Calamari, here to enlighten the ignorant masses. The "banker" (who is actually the shows producers) uses software to calculate the expected amount in the players case. The bankers offers are almost always under this expected amount to some extent. The degree to which the offers are under the expected amount depends on how risk adverse the contestant is. The contestants personality IS in fact taken into account when deciding what the offer will be.

Have fun KIDDIES, I shall return!

Hello Mr. Banker,
Were you ever on TV before, were we could see you? Or hear your voice?
Thanks, Teresa. phila, pa

I loved it when you raised the offer by $1. That was cool. When will the show be coming to Minnesota?

So, if a contestant leaves with a small sum of money, do you celebrate that as a personal victory? (And if so, how do you celebrate?)

Man Mr Banker...you lucked out

I was SOOO coming to see you and get all your money, but my niece Emersyn got sick so I got sidetracked on my way to Chicago for the open call...my niece is more important. But my nephew and me were gonna come on, he sooo woulda been one of my supporters. He's 3 and he definitely can say "no deal mr banker!"

just you wait until next time...

ho;hfo;ifuhabfudshfls;aknkjalihnwalherfowehqioe;jwrioehfyubierjnfwhguirekjhbfkesuwjrehbfulreuhirehgu;deru

I love the show and hear that you say you are not baised. If that be the case, how come loyal Canadian viewers, like myself, do not have the opportunity to come and take your $$. Are we too smart? Are you afraid of us igloo living, dogsled ridding, "eh" saying Canuks?

We all know you aren't up there actually deciding what to offer. Its just your computer telling you what to say. Any loser could do your job!

I think the banker was pissed when that lady answered the phone and spoke spanish. He looked pissed when they showed him.

Personally Mr. Banker,
I wouldn't have offered that teacher a dollar after she sang no deal to you. "I said no deal, no deal!" How annoying must that have been for you!

Yeah, Most of the people are really greedy. If i was on there I would take whatever came my way..Like that hummer& 17,0000...It would of be mine I wouldn't have any questions I would of been out the door...Your a funny banker but kool..I like you...Me and you are alike..lol

Mr. Banker I agree.
Man some of the people on the show are so crazy. Don't you agree that most of them are very greedy?
