I hear a lot of comments from people to the effect that I'm simply following whatever the computer tells me to offer. I can assure you this is not the situation. This is a game, and each and every time my job is to beat the contestant. There's no way I would ever let my professional fate rest in the hands of a computer.

I truly can read people. I can smell when their luck is turning, when it's time for me to to turn the screws. I'm borderline psychic. Many times I know what's in the contestant's case just by instinct, and there is nothing, nothing like the thrill of seeing a player find out the case they sold for far less had $1,000,000 in it like Monday night (10/30).

Mr.Banker-are you single? Amy

Dear banker,
I would like to recommend having a kid version of Deal or no Deal. If you could talk to the producers and ask them what they think that would be great. I sent them a comment/suggestion, and I am working on an application even though I am only 13. That would be soooooo cool if I could be on the show. My family loves you and the show and we watch it as much as possible. Please get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you,
Sierra

Mr. Banker,

If the computer is not determining how much to offer the contestant and you are as you say then how do you come up with an offer so quickly after the contestant accepts your offer and Howie asks the contestant "Had you said no deal what would your next case have been...and the bank offer would have been..."

WOW!

What is your name?

hello sir, i am very dissipointed in your behavior on the show, you really should try to be nicer

So you are psychic too, eh? So is my whole family. We tried to get on Canadian deal or no deal but 100,000 enteries fills up fast. No much room for broke cattle farmers. Anyways if you want us to make you the most amazing episode ever call me. I will even body talk to my guides on air. Or if that's too spooky I can just use pendulum. Only problem is who gets to be in the hot seat. We would use the money to continue helping people teaching and treating in energy therapies. Wonder who's power is greater...yours or ours? Muaahahahhahaha

Banker is one sexy beast, I must say. The ladies are diving all over him after the show.

Mr. Banker,

The burning question on my mind is since you work with so many beautiful women on the show, how many times have you offered them a deal. Or do they all tell you No Deal?

do you really think he would do this for free? i think not, especially when your on a network such as nbc...you got to make money

Hello, sir. In regards to who the backers are for the show. Is it all paid for out of the commercials shown, or is it partly privatly funded, from either yourself, or from "stocks". I was also wondering what Mr. Mandels' salary is for doing the show? Are you paid by salary, or just darn wealthy, and do it for fun? These are qustions of curiosity for me, and I'm sure others, as well. Thank you for your time, sir. Have a good day.

The past couple of shows were clear victories for you. Wow.

Here's hoping there's a new blog entry soon.

I think the banker is brilliant ... kind of an actuary, an accountant and a psychologist all wrapped into one. PLUS, assuming all the comments aren't Howie's, the banker has an incredible sense of humor and tremendous wit. Go banker!!!

I asume you are a man, but are you by any chance a female banker?

Dearest Banker~
Well, I have to say that I love the show. I love the back and forth of your deals. I can almost always guess your offer before you make it. You do you job well, but I just have one question, are you as funny as Howie makes you seem or are the "comments" he says you make his made up script?

Banker, I think you've mad some outstanding offers and not so hot at times,. But I have to say that giving so many people the chance to change their lives in an hour is awesome. Now how can I become a contestant? I'm sure you get asked that very often, but I need to be on the show!!! Please respond, I'll pay for my own airline ticket and hotel just to do so. Plus I'm a huge Howie fan.

Thanks
Dionne Jones

i was just wondering how one goes about applying to be one of the models on the show?

i was just wondering how one goes about applying to be one of the models on the show?

Actually,I was wandering how to audition for the show?Does the show have a number to call,or an e-mail?

you are an arshehooal.

WOW! your horn is awesome! That was pretty funny! Why don't you ever show your face on t.v?

hey i just wanted to say that i looove the show and howie. Howie you are too good looking lol!! Case # 13 and 25 Leyla and Haley Marie you girls rock you are so gorgeous !!! I have bought several items on here like necklaces and earrings but i love to know where you girls get your dresses from!! Anyway love the show keep itup

I wish this was an audio submission. I've give you a what for in my best "Bobby" voice. OR maybe my best Edith Bunker singing "Those were the days" Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again...
Come on Banker, convince Howie to do his cute lil Bobby voice. You have guts so JUST DO IT! You show will survive!

Ilove the show very much...the Banker and Howie are great.

Ha Banker,Love your show don't miss it at all or try not. Just want to know one thank if some one can use the internet to pick a # then why don't you use it as you do from a text messenger for some one to win? All I here is text messenger your # from your phone but ever e-mail your # from the internet. Why is this???? From Ohio.

I was wondering if the models keep the same number case for each contestant, or do they swap case numbers backstage?

Great show, very addictive!

Anna

RE: Your offers:

Are your offers based on a formula, say the mean of the remaining cases less 20%, rounded to the nearest thousand? Or do you have another criteria?

you i hate the idiots who call you an idiot obviously they don't know what kind of math you do!

There's a place you can go to gain psycich powers? will you please tell me where to go? Please??????

has howie or any of the models ever met you? Me and my mom crack up when you make cracks about people when you give your offer!!

Whatever is the situation ,the crazies prevail,bankers are left in limbo and cash is amist the airwaves,thuse is the fate of the bankers lair.
BOO

Hey Banker I think you can be a real tightwod. You are really strick on them now aren't you. But i think you also have a good job just sitting on your but probably making more money to give away. I do like the show though it is interesting but i never seem to win the lucky case game i guess it is just like the lottery. I am 14 years old and me and my mom have been playing the lucky case game. I go to minerva middle school.

I do have a question for you, Mr. Banker.

When you call Howie to name the offer to the contestant, does Howie repeat word for word what you say, or does he paraphrase what you said?

awaiting an answer... sending a tape soon...

Kimono_skunk

If what you say is true about calculating and not using the computer...how come after a person takes the deal howie can quickly show what you would have offered if they had said no deal and picked cases quickly.

You should have guest bankers for the week occasionally (such as myself) to see how we do in you place. I love using thumbscrews, and to play with people's minds - when they have one. That would be a hoot.

what is the point of the banker??? you pretend to call howie, and give him a price, yet, once a deal is made, howie just points and says the offer would be ( blank ). so there is no good reason for the call..

hi my name is alex.i am 11 years old and i watch your show alot but u r a big fonie.i remember one time on thanksgiving you got pied by howie mandle.by the i live in saint jhon new brunswic and i go to bayside middle school.

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!

Well my dera banker, I just love the job you are doing. If ever you decide to retire, please drop me a line so I can apply for your job. But deal first. I want you to give me my training so I can become as good as you. Oh and tell Howie for me that he just looks great.
From N.B. Canada.

I would love to get on the show. if i could it would prove to everybody even the underdogs can even get on those kind of shows. and win or at least get on tv and have a good time.

Hi there i just want to say
i think you and Howie hope i speelled his name right?
Have one of the coolest jobs ever and i think what you guys do is great, you both are good at what you do. I want to fill out an application my self to get on the show but when i tell people that they think i will never get on it. what do u guys think do you think i may have a chance at getting on . p.s. please let me know?

Sorry about before. I did that accidentally. What I meant to ask is if you ever write stuff in your blog on your own and not just answer people's questions.

PS...About You and the Show...and oh yah, I spelt Psychic wrong in my previous message, sorry...darn that extra "h" anyways...

Well first of all, I think the reason you hide behind the glass enclosure with the dimmed lighting is because you are so darn WHITE and in NEED of a SUNTAN that you are too Embarrassed to show yourself cuz all your viewers will go BLIND from the Reflected Glare...BUT, Mr Banker, I have a CURE for you...COME TO THE BEAUTIFUL OKANAGAN VALLEY (KELOWNA Preferably)IN BC CANADA AND GET A GORGEOUS SUNTAN...HEY, You can stay at my place, it's quiet and serene...I have the extra room for You and Howie, No Suitcases Attached okay...Think about it, you'll LOVE it here, all the Famous People from down South are moving up here, Alice Cooper, tons of NHL stars, Elvis used to have a Summer Place up here back in the 70's, Arnold Swartzenager(forgive my spelling on that one hey...) Danny Devito and his wife, Man the Okanagan in BC Canada is the Place to be living right now, it's got everything you could imagine... Jack Nicklaus opened a Golf Course as did Arnold Palmer, hey, we got it good, give us a chance Mr Banker and Howie Mandel and Most of all you PRODUCERS OF DEAL OR NO DEAL...You Won't be Disappointed...
And the Show, well heck man, you could bring the Show to Kelowna BC Canada...Your Suitcase Beauties could get A 'Natural Tan' up here and look their usual Gorgeous Best...Nothing better than "Au Naturel" hey...
In my lifetime, this is by far the BEST darn Game Show on TV, sorry Bob Barker but you're retiring anyways... But honestly, you the Producers, wouldn't it be absolutely awesome to bring the show to the most BEAUTIFUL City in all of Canada, Kelowna BC and do a Special Edition here??? Try it, you might like it...I know you'll Love it... Look us up hey, we are #1...
Now, to sum things up...Mr Banker, Let's You and I make a Deal...When I win your Million Dollars, which I will and it will be sooooon, I want you to Promise me that I can come up there to your special little enclosed room and meet you personally and get a hug from you and an Autograph from you on my Million Dollar Suitcase, okay...
Take Care Mr Banker, see you sooon, and hey, get back to work and start writing some new stuff on your blog hey...haven't seen anything new for a while...are you suntanning or something??? just kidding, bye for now... Kimberlee P aka Kaycee

I used to have some really IMPORTANT GOALS and said I could NOT leave this Planet until they were met. Now Thanks to you I have added a 4th Goal to my List...

2) To Meet Mick Jagger and the Stones and get their Autographs B4 I leave this planet, Guess I am going to be here a LONG TIME HEY!!! More Chances at BEATING YOU hey...
3) To Do Something GOOD that will Make a Difference, this one I did and do, I run 10K for the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope, it's for CANCER... seems everyone I LOVE from my Mom, My Relatives and to My Friends have all died of this stupid disease...ANYWAYS NOW I HAVE A 4TH GOAL TO ADD TO MY IMPORTANT LIST...
4) TO LIVE ON THIS PLANET UNTIL I GET ON YOUR SHOW AND BEAT YOU SILLY...I AM GOING TO BLOW YOU AWAY WITH MY MILLION DOLLAR WINNINGS....MY PHSYCHIC ABILITY TELLS ME YOU AND I WILL MEET ONE DAY...SEE YA SOON HEY!!! AND HOWIE, WATCH OUT CUZ "WESTSIDE KAYCEE" FROM BC IS COMING TO GET YOU, I'M GOING TO HOLD YOU DOWN AND TICKLE YOU TILL YOU AGREE TO HAVE MORE SHOWS AND CHANCES FOR US CANADIANS...SHARE THE WEALTH HEY!!! KC =)

hey banker, did Howie really put that pie in your face or did you have something to shield your face from it? After the show, did you kick his ass? lol

I love the show!!! I especailly loved the show where Howie put the pie in your face!!! I would love to be on your show & throw a pie in your face myself! My daughter would also like to see a kid show since we bought the dvd game & she won the $1 Million the first time she played!!

Please you guys seem to be able to find anyone. My father has stage 4 cancer. I'm trying to find my mother, (Who I have met once at my sisters funeral) I was 13 at the time Im now 44. Her name is francis was married to Edward Ice (Olymplia Wash) then was Married to Foxworth (origon) then in texas. I talked with my new brothers and sister in 2000 and have not talk with them since. I need to get a message to my mother that my dad has very little time left. Everything that I have tried does not work. You seem to be able to break through this. Any help would be appreciated.

PS not looking to be on the show. Just trying to find my mom.

I just want to ask what is the formula that you use to figure out the offers. I can't figure it out!

I love the drum sounds when the offers reach $100,000... and the louder ones at $200,000... I imitate them when they come up!

To Danielle: The Green case had $1.

From Michele Falco ($750,000) to Cheryl Jackson ($5)... pretty much everything has been won but a million!

You know, Nanny was awesome at the game
-- she kept picking all the wrong numbers.

Another question... WHY CAN'T YOUNGER FANS GET ON THE SHOW?! I've wanted to get on since Thorpe Schoenle's game!! Also, since Howie is Canadian, why isn't the show Canadian?

I cannot believe when you win an amount of money on Deal Or No Deal in the U.S., really only half of it is yours... the other half goes to the Government!! If they want the money, they can apply to be on the show as well...

Also, how much did Nanny from Thanksgiving night get, and how much was in her case? I accidentally only taped the first hour.

Okay, Dan... what if they put twenty-six of you there? Would they cancel it?
(Ignore this if your full name is Danielle)

Why would you want to put guys on the show? The only reason this show is popular is because of the hot models! If you put dudes on there that would make the show suck and nobody would watch it

I think CNBC needs to quit leaving you hanging if they are going to play reruns.

I don't think that the computer is telling you exactly what to offer. I think the computer does all the hard math, and you adjust a few thousand dollars each way for their confidence level.

you're a mean one there...

Dear Banker,

I love the show, but have one suggestion. Every night you have female models for the guys, how about some buff, hot, good looking male models (eye candy) for us girls just to be fair to your female viewers?

Irene

chargers rock and u are laime banker

U LOOK LIKE THE SAN DIEGO CHARGERS COACH MARTY SHOTENHIEMER

how much do u get paid ?

if you give 1 million dollars everyshow than how much do you have at the end of this whole show?!?

hey banker if your putting up a million dollars every show how rich are you? and how many more shows are left before you loose all your money?

Hey Mrs. Banker... do you really, really stay in that room under the logo Deal or No Deal all show, or its just a image, a movie or whethever?

A suggestion: (Could result in very high ratings)

Have a 2nd chance or "Did You Learn Anything" series (about two or three shows). Bring back some of the contestants who took away the lowest amount of money. If you do this, definitely bring back the gentleman who lives with his sister (he listened to his friend and brother-in-law and not his sister; he left with $10 or $50.)

Hey Banker,
I'm suprised that they have not picked you to play and I wonder how the banker would do. I also think there is a substitute banker if this happens to you.
Jonathan

I think your show is good and can't wait for Monty Hall to return . . . or was that Bert Parks . . . or Jan Murray . . . or Bud Collier?

Yeah, right Mr. Phantom Banker. You are nothing more than a prop for the show. All of the suspense (sarcasm) when waiting for the next offer was put to rest the first time I saw the conclusion of a player's run. How do you explain the instantaneous offers when Mandel says, "What case would be your next choice?" Magically, a new offer appears if the case they chose is lower than the highest amount on the board. Can you say PHONEY!
YOU ARE A PROP. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

GOOFY, GOOFY SHOW.

I personally think the show is a bunch of garbage. The contestant pool is rigged, the hoop-la is all staged, and Howie Mandel is boring. The mysterious banker crap is foolishness. Thank goodness people in trailer houses have TV. Otherwise, you wouldn't have an audience. I forbid your show from stepping foot into my television set.

Just wondering are you Bill Gates???

You have been psyched with Monday's result. (Not that I blame you in the slightest!)

So, how did you celebrate?

Heh, that previous blog entry about the $10 payout...maybe that was a hint of a payout we'd be seeing?

Hello Mr. Banker....

Question - you've not responded for a loooong time to these postings - I guess you are way too busy counting your money as in "The King was in his counting house - counting up his money".

I guess we can expect a new posting from you tomorrow or in the next few weeks - based on your past forums posting dates.....

Still waiting for my call here in Ontario for the Canadian shows?????

I feel like the woman who is waiting for that cute guy to call me - "Does the lack of a call from your casting staff mean your just not that into me?" Guess I'll just go wash my hair - again!

Geez - not you too Banker....typical male - get a a woman interested and hopes up and then nothing!

Cheers!
Mini

This show is pretty good, except for the fact that the Banker thinks he's the wittiest man on the planet. He also thinks hes a funny character when he insults others. Well, I don't think you're that great, buddy. Although I do think that the model named Anya (10) is the most attractive girl I've ever seen, she's beautiful. That's all I really wanted to say, you should tell her to call me sometime.

Mr. Banker:

You are so d@#@ witty sometimes! Just thought I would let you know that! Believe me if my husband faced-off with you I truly believe you would meet your match! He is very tough - - who knows you might get the chance to square off - - if you were only so lucky! Thanks for the entertainment

dear banker,
your my favorite character because your so mysterious. more then howie.

Prior contestants don't deserve a second chance. Get real. They had their moment. Give someone else the opportunity. The Arkansas guy was a complete idiot. Think about it: You live at your sister's house, not much of a job, and was offered $147k with only one huge amount left on the board. Why in the world would you NOT take it? Why do people get so greedy? It was obvious his luck had turned for the worse after the light went out. His brother-in-law, and other male friend for being stupid enough to encourage him to continue all deserve a round of beer with the ten bucks he won!!

HEY WHY DONT YOU TELL YOUR LITTLE FRIENDS OVER THERE AT DEAL OR NO DEAL THAT THEY HAVE FANS IN THE NORTHEAST AND THEY SHOULD HAVE A CASTING CALL IN LIKE BOSTON OR SOMETHING!!!!

=-)

J

This is the contestant who had the million in her case on October 30th. I just want you to know that, despite your negative comments on my show about my team not having had a winning season, we are winning now! I told you then that the winning was beginning that night and it did. The Lady Tigers just won their first game this past Monday night and are ready for an exciting WINNING season! The excitement the show has brought to our team, University, family, friends, and even strangers, has been tremendous! You probably didn't intend to help or motivate us, but you did and for that, I must say, THANK YOU!!

Great show--keep up the good work! Can't keep myself from watching your show witch keeps me on the edge of my chair! It always seems that the contestants that are the most sure they can beat the banker end up going home with the least amount of money!

I love the show and you rock.. Tameka #21 is my fave model, she is so sweet and shes gorgeous, which model(s) do you like the best???? Happy Holidays

I think that guy from Arkansas that you turned the lights off on, should have gone up to the booth and made you squeal like a pig like in the movie deliverance.

Dear Banker,
My mother recently sent in a videotape, we are anxiously awaiting a call from someone. Now banker, you might can read a lot of peoples minds but I don't think you can read my moms. She is one of a kind and she says shes coming to your town to win your money, and once you meet her you'll never forget her! See you soon!! =)
Love,
Bianca

MR BANKER HOW HOWIE IF U CAN GET MY FRIEND ON TV HE WOULD BE VERY HAPPY WE BOTH WACTH THE SHOW IF HE WAS YO GET ON AND WIN THE MILLION DOLLERS HE WOULD NO DEAL AT ALL OFFERS WOULD U PLAESE LET HIM TRY GET ON

Dear banker,
I would like to recommend having a kid version of Deal or no Deal. If you could talk to the producers and ask them what they think that would be great. I sent them a comment/suggestion, and I am working on an application even though I am only 13. That would be soooooo cool if I could be on the show. My family loves you and the show and we watch it as much as possible. Please get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you,
Sierra

Hi. Im Ellas twin sis what is your favorite coler?

I think this show is great. Here's an Idea!!!!! How about the worst loosers second chance. Can they be that dumb twice??? Yesterday was aweful....I mean 10 bucks?? give this looser and a few more like him a second chance. It would be good viewing.
Debbiejean.....or you could just have me on your show. :-)

I think the show is awsome!!!!!!!!!!But i have a questum do you get paid and how much?How old are you you dont have to anser that?. Im 10.

Soory but i forgot to ask why do you ONLY talk to Howie?? why can't the contestant hear the deal you say and listen to you cry when they beat you eh?lol ASWER ME BACK I HAVE INTELLIGENT QUESTIONS:)

Hi Banker when will we know who you are?Will you ever reveal it?I hope so.
At the end how does Howie know what to say for the deals?Example:I pick 10 theres a 1$ then Howie says 380.000$$ i dont get it! and Banker can i have that RootBeer?lol. Anyways im going to watch you and figure out who you are!Asta La vista Banker

Brooks was a pretty lucky man for the Banker to come back with the $147,000.00 at that stage of the game. The Banker sure does know how to read people. It would seem that he tossed him that much money because he could see how greedy he was and just knew that he would not take the deal. And sure enough, he failed to see a good thing right in front of him.

But, I on the other hand, am getting pretty pissed. I have texted in four times now, had the correct number each time and have not won.

Why would anyone think that Brooks deserves a second chance? He's a moron! Anyone that doesn't DEAL with no life line left does not deserve a second chance.. no wonder he lives in his sisters house still! Grow UP!

Hey Banker,

Say it isn't so??????

You have already called everyone for the Toronto, Ontario, Canada auditions???

Please say you're not done yet...I haven't got my call yet!

Come on I am worth waiting for....please call me - I submitted my application and even wrote you a poem - How many Canadians did that I ask ya'???- None I believe....
Come on call - I have an answering machine - just call..

I know ya' wannta - I know you wannta.

Maybe you missed the poem on here

Ode To the Handsome Host, The Banker and Red Headed Vixen

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 made 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 a quiet "Adieu - Adieu" and "Screw you!"

Come on I was just kidding with the last line! Honest...
Still hoping along Lake Huron...
Mini

i think the banker is hot, i love money

Yo Banker....
I am the cool MOM from Toronto Canada............I hope you are up to the challenge with me because I was called for the audition in Toronto.........everyone that knows me say i have a horseshoe up my A**....hahahahaha I guess you know what I mean.....

Who won the $100,000 on Thanksgiving day?

Hey Banker,
For the first time in ma life i tried playing this game through ma cell phone, and i was too lucky enough to guess the lucky number...i sent a text message on thanksgiving day to 59595, and they they responded back to me after the show but how come you guys didnt announce the lucky winner on the show or neither online; cause i got the number right? Holla at me then

Tha Banker Is God !!

Banker 4 Prime Minister !!

A bunch of us watch every night your on in a sports bar....a bunch of us were wondering....about how much do the girls make for their role in the show?

Okay Brooks the Arkansas man was AWSOME.. I have never laughed so hard. To bad he didnt take the deal. He could have bought a nice phat trailer house with that cash.. His humor still did not match the girl with the lime green Caddy.

I like the show my family watches all the time. My daughters like it when you got the pie in your face. We try to guest which case has the big amount in it. We watch your show from Corwall Ontario canada. Please keep doing a great job. We will be watching you.

And one last thing, Keltie is my favorite. She is sooo cute. Wouldn't she rather be with an architect like myself than a fireman boyfriend?!

Arkansas guy, brother-in-law and other male friend, go buy a round of drinks with that $10 bucks you won. You had no safety net left, why not take the $147k and run? You're already a winner with that sum of money.

People just get too greedy. The Arkansas man who was offered $147k should've made the deal. I was yelling so hard at the tv for him to take it. He's brother in law and friend are complete idiots for encouraging him to continue and he is even a bigger idiot. Only his sister had the common sense. Its NOT the banker's fault that people are morons. He can take his $10 and buy himself, bro-in-law and friend a bottle of beer. Those three are complete losers!!!

I don't want to talk about the banker, I want to talk about Brook the guy from Arkansas on the 11/27/06 show. I was pitiful to see him leave with $10. He is such a charming, heartful guy and its people like that who deserve to win MONEY. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give Brook another chance on the show. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

FIRST OF ALL YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHATS IN THOSE CASES. YOUR JUST SITTING IN THAT BOOTH IN THE DARK SO NOBODY CAN SEE YOU.YOUR PROBALLY AN UGLY 30'S SOMETHING NO IT ALL.WHO GOT LUCKY FOR THAT JOB.READ THE COMPUTER A LITTLE MORE. PEACE BUDDY

Why does everyone make the banker out to be so bad? After all, he is the one who gives the contestants more money than they had when they walked in. He is really the GOOD GUY! People just get too greedy and don't know when to stop while they are ahead!!!!!

Love ya banker. Why doesn't NBC have a banker t-shirt? or a hoodie...better for us teens..

i love the show. But the one thing i love about the show is "the banker". I think its hilarious how people dont just take the deals that they can make and then end up up losing alot more money. Tonight you offered that man $50 and he said "no deal" and went home with $10. I was laughing so hard i started crying and i know you probably were too. All i'm saying is "banker" keep on doing what your doing because i love it.

i cant belive u didnt give the poor fat guy over 200 grand just now, u really need to up ur offers u little son of a bitch

It's not the banker, people sometimes get greedy..and it take's them over, he could have kept 2 hundred and some thousand if he would have used a little common sense about luck.

Who won the $100,000 on Thanksgiving day?

At first I thought that your offers were the mean (average) of the remaining cases. After a little calculation, I realize I'm wrong. Perhaps the mean less 10-15% is more accurate. Am I close?

banker ur getting worse and worse at calculating, go get a real job ya NOOB, u aint no banker, so you can go and die, andburn in a pit in hell,
and ps nice show howie, and nice ladies, i wish aurbie could go out wit me hahah peace out

My goodness mister banker, how can you not feel badly for some of these people who leave with nothing. I sent my video, why not pick me and I guarantee you won't read my mind. I would take you down!!!!!! Give this guy a break.

Banker ya did it..he's on the run.....

I LOVE the show! Howie has a phobia about shaking hands, is it your phobia that requires everyone to wear solid colored clothing?

how do you figure out how much money to offer?

Banker make it harder for him.....

Can we (the public) see some results reported re: the $.99 per call charge to enter the "Play at Home" game. My feeling is that the show gets a lot mor than enough calls to pay for the prize - and that covers all time zone contests that are run each night. How much of a profit center is it?

I think your cool! Without you & Howie.. It wouldn't be interesting or fun..

This show sucks why do you people watch this stuff come back and watch seinfeld. It actually makes sence.

I hear that during the taping of the two-and-a-half-hour "Deal Or No deal" Christmas night show (which I hear will be taped next week), you'll be getting a giant lump of coal from a huge dumptruck belonging to the Burbank Department Of Public Works!

Yes Mr. Banker, what was in that green case anyways ? And, is it me or are you getting bolder and stingier with your offers as the shows go on. The last few offeres were pathetic (Great for you I guess.. but come on .. have a heart man)

PS: Luv your show man. Howie is awesome!

Dear Mr. Banker,
3 questions, What was in the green case last night, and what was the purpose,and who one the lucky case game nothing was posted and it wasen't on tv.
lots of love,Danielle
ps. i can't believe u let Howie hit you with a pie!

Yeah, it would definitely be interesting to find out how those two models that work for you got the job. And how did that come about that you got to have your own?

That's cool though. I think they add to the show.

They should be listed on the site too. Unless they like to be somewhat secretive about their identities like you...

Hello Banker Babe I do not believe you can forsee what is in their case. I feel it is luck for you as well as the contestant. But I must say you looked pretty sweet with the pie in your face. If I am ever on the show I will put one in Howie's face for you!

Do you really say the things on the telophone that Howie repeats to the contestant? I dont think the kids being on the t.v is a great idea... think about this: what would a kid do with 400,000$? Oh yah, and another thing... if you could pick ONE model that you couldnt take your eyes off of who would it BE? Now a Male model would be an exelent idea.. think about that one. Oh while im here, could you tell me how you select models?

I agree that we should have a kid Deal or no Deal because that would be so COOL!!! I would definitly want to be on it. BY the way i am a very big fan of yours and i also think u should have guy models!!! LOL!!!:)

Dear banker,
I would like to recommend having a kid version of Deal or no Deal. If you could talk to the producers and ask them what they think that would be great. I sent them a comment/suggestion, and I am working on an application even though I am only 13. That would be soooooo cool if I could be on the show. My family loves you and the show and we watch it as much as possible. Please get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you,
Sierra

Are you married? Or do you have kids?

Hey, Mr. Banker, if I ever make it to the show, what are the chances of you getting me guy models instead of the ladies for the episode? Just wondering.

To rachel about a mathematical advantage:

Yes, there is a way to make the most money doing math. The "banker" calculates the expected payout based on the cases remaining. Until there are only a few cases left they ALWAYS offer less than the expected payout. The way you get an advantage is to play until their offer is more than the expected payout. This can be calculated using probability. If you search you can find quite a few sites explaining how probability works and what the expected payout would be. Here's a good site that demos the probability used: http://www.dba-oracle.com/fun_deal_or_no_deal.htm

Dear, Banker even though I am 9 I still think what some people think.Sometimes you can be spoiled and rise the money higher just because that person is less abnoxious than the other people but most the time your alright.

Think of others before yourself, Mr. Banker.

hey dude,

Im not about to get down on my knees and start kissing ur butt like some of these comments are doing. I'll be honest with you, some of the offers are crap, and ur msg's from you to howie to the contestant are rude, and humorous sometimes, but hey.. its part of the game, to get inside of their head. Personally, I think itd be a good game if I was ever a contestant, Im not saying Id win a million, but itd be interesting.

Keep up the good, and bad work.

haha peace

Don't lie, you would love to hit one of those models...you get urges just like the rest of those guys

Hello Mr. Banker,
I am writing you from the great T.O :) I am aware that 'Deal or No Deal' is coming to Canada. (woot woot) Well i was wondering if you will be the banker for the Canadian version of 'Deal or No Deal'. That will be really cool if you are I am wishing that i will be able to come and watch the show when it tapes...i will be amused ;) Have a great night!

LOL Banker

You got pied in the face and you deseverd it!

Howie and the girls are great.The banker is a cool dude. How was the pie????

Hey uh... Banker,
Dis you like that pie you got yeaturday?Well I did!

Hello Mr. Banker,
Can you please tell us how we find out who won the ONE MILLION DOLLARS lucky case game on November 23?
Thanks for the great show!

Who won the $100,000 Lucky case game on Nov. 23?????

i've been watching this show for a while now and i have to say that pie being shoved in ur face took the cake. Did u like it? I know i sure did but any way the show is great i'm trying to get my wife to go on the show becasue i think she can out smart you ya I said it she's smart and can figure people out pretty well so i think your days are number.

PIE!

I picked case 5 last night and I've been holding my breath waiting for my call. Please call soon, turning blue in Indiana. Or @ least post a winner and put me out of my misery.

Oh, there's a way to beat the Banker --- just make a decision to go all the way beforehand and not care what you go home with, not caring at all what the heck the Banker offers. That way the psychology is eliminated; it's all in fun and if you make a good 400K or more while doing it, great :)

Odds do weird things around me, I'm sure I'd win the million :P

how do you get on the show? i think it would be a blast to see if a person who makes deals all day (me) can MAKE a deal with this banker guy!

I live in VA. I bought the disposable camcoder which was developed on a dvd then took it to the video store and they download it on a VCR. I filled out the application but the only problem now is going to california if I am picked. Are you guys planning to have audition in different state. Please include New York or the washington dc. I will drive to new york. I checked the train and it will take 2-3days to california from virginia. I cannot afford the plane ticket. Thanks.

How can I find out who won the $10,000 on last nights 2 hour gameshow on Thanksgiving I guessed the right case. It is not shown on the website(11/24/06)and I have recieved not call or notification by phone?

Dear Banker,
I have much respect for you. While I believe that the contestants have much to do with the game...I think without the "banker" there would be no game. I think you can be "snotty" at times but that makes it a "game" show. If you were nice and just handed out money, would one even be able to call it a game show? I just have one question, what did you do as a career before you landed the role of "banker" on deal or no deal? Were you actually a banker?

Oh, 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 do you live in since you cannot afford/find a camcorder?"... Well let's not forget that lots of folks still connect through dial-up and the prices for Internet connection aren't a "charmer".... at least, not just yet, despite all the competition on the market.

Hello there "Banker" and Happy T-giving.

I was trying to find out who was the "lucky" winner of last night's show, since a winner wasn't mentioned during the airing. It is strange that it isn't listed on the website, either. Was it just a "thankful" omission on the producer's side?

Reading also 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. Coroborated 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 specially 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 overjoyous on the stage" in order to have a chance to get on the show?

Dear Mr. Banker,

ps. i can't believe u let Howie hit you with a pie!

I would like to know where I get an application to fill out to be on the show... I have a video made.. but it says I need to fill out an application too... please help!

Dear Banker of Deal Or No Deal,

My mom and I watch your show every Monday and Thursday. We love the models, you and of course, Howie. What we have been trying to figure out by reading these blogs, is what your name is. Why don't you like people to know? People say it's Bill,Tom,Alex,ext. Will you tell us your name?,Please?
Well I guess I'll be talking to you later. Have fun with your show, and please, tell Howie I said hi!

Who is the model that brought out the giant lime with wheels? Can she be viewed on the website? Love the show!!

Mr. Banker! I like the fact you sit inthedark and you can't be seen. My question is what do you do up there in the dark? Sit and wait for the kill?

Hi banker i loved when Howie put that pie in your face!How did it feel? Well I was just wondering that since everyone is dying to see what you look like why dont you show your face atleast once..... PLEASE Well tell howie i say hello ok BYE

If the offers aren't made by a computer then how are the offers calculated so quickly after a contestant has taken whatever settlement he decides on and the remaining cases are reveealed?

Hello Banker

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

Thought last night's show was great! Just goes to prove that the show is legit when it comes to the cases and selection - Would have like to have seen more money handed out since it was Thanksgiving show....but then again there would be less for me for when you come to Canada!!!!!!!

Have you picked the contestants yet for the Canadian shows????

Just wondering....

Se ya' in Ta-ranta!!!!
Tell Howies - we can't wait!!!!

Cheers!
Mini

hi, last night i picked case 5 and you texted me back but does theat mean i won? or was i supposed to send a message back? i mean i dont know, all it said was watch deal or no deal to see who wins and that the banker uses a mac computor.

who won the case game for 11-23 show you guys didn't post a name

I have a two questions. Deal or No Deal is a game of luck, strategy, timing, and self-control. What do you believe(or know) is the highest variable deciding how the game ends out? To me it seems mostly luck and a knowledge of statistics.

My second question, how close id the internet game to the actual show? Obviously you can't see the people playing the internet game and people are more likely to take risks when the money isn't real, but if you were to treat it like you were actually playing the game how close are the deals to what you would mostly likely offer?

how do u know who won lastnights show i picked case 5 and never heard anything or seen who won after the show

Carol,not much you can do about the text messaging.
I guess you probably need to enter your guess via computer,like me and avoid the $.99 charge.
I personaly would use the extra savings to take english classes on how to spell,I'm reffering to me,not you.
Good Luck Next Week!!

Hey Mike,
I'm pretty sure the banker is Robert Palmers ghost.
But one thing I'm not sure about,...Is Robert Palmer "DEAD"? I hope not.

Never mind about the 100 grand.I found a new phone at Walmart for $20 bucks.
You can call me next week after I pick the winning case again.Thanks anyhoo.

Now I see why I did'nt get the call....My ringer was Off!
Can you call again ? I need the 100 grand to buy a new phone with a louder ringer.
Thanks.

This is an identity guess. I think you are Robert Palmer's ghost. After all, you seem to have acquired the members of his "girl-group". I know. No tamale. Right? Still, how'd you manage the girls?

I picked case #2, I didnt get a call. Did you lose my phone number again?
I could use the 100 grand ya know.

hey me again
please contact me to be on your show. I just love howie....
I think you need someone from The Dalles,Oregon to be on your show let me know

hey there my text doesn't go through do I need a special service or what and what is 59595??

YOU ARE THE BOMB.

my text won't go through it says invalid address do you need a special service to get through? if so what the heck is it

Mystery of what you look like is a fantastic idea for the show. Deal or No Deal for the 100,000 play at home. Who is it? Don't keep that a mystery. Bad enough you made us that picked the case #5 search the site that hasn't been updated yet. Get with the program... Or is it Howie that is making us wait till "Next time on DOND?"

hey i really love the show and i aint got nuttin against you i think your a pretty cool guy i just want to know who you are. why all the secrecy?

one last thought, even though you are awesome,
PIE in the face was even more awesome.
go howie. you rock

Yeah I want to know the same thing....I chose #5, was charged .99 for the text and its not posted on the dond website....so who won the 100,000 dollars?

hey, i am just curious, I dont know if u can answer this or not but ill give it a shot...do u think there could be some mathematical way of doing really well in this game or even beating it? im definitely not asking what, because that would be stupid, just if u think there is. someway, that some lonely genius knows of.....

latr.....
btw, are you awesome

rachel

It is a computernot you.

Yea....what's up with the thanksgiving day $100k winner notification????? I picked the right box - #5 and sent it in. I even received notification on my cellphone of being charged .99. So now, who has won? Why is it not posted on the webpage?????????????

ah ha! good one, Jeremy. LOL

Hello Mr. Banker. I've been watching the show since it's been on and I think I can out wit you it's all in what case I pick I'll know what's in my case just by your offers. I haven't been wrong yet and plus I even get with in $1,500 of what you offer the contestants. I don't even have to be on TV just to see if my theory works and so far minus the human interaction I'd be in your pockets deep I would have already won the million dollars 5 times. What do you think?

ok, some interesting comments. I have a couple of questions. I wondered if it was a computer that chose the amounts or if it gives you probabilities then you take it from there? My second question is DID THE PIE TASTE GOOD?! THEY SHOULD HAVE LET THE CONTESTANT DO IT! THEN SHE COULD TELL US WHO YOU ARE? and to the person who insists that it is a different banker every time, I don't agree. I feel confident it is the same person every show.

First I would like to ask how do you apply to be on the show? Now I would like to say that the banker is just doing his job. It is a game of calculation and luck on the contestants part. In a since you are gambling with your case. Bet the case or stay. But from the contest and audience stand point he is the bad guy. I understand where you are coming from since I am in collections. While doing my job allot of people see me as the bad guy. But that being said good luck to the contestants.

You didn't even play the lucky case game and I watched just to play it today. We watch it faithfully. I am tring to get on the show.

Are these people who write Blogs to you really this dull? They write stupid stuff and can't even spell?What's up?

I have notice that you offer black people less money than whites, when they are in the same situation. Are you a racist?

HI
why are you so nice with womans and mean with mens

I'm just wondering who won the lucky case game at home this Thanksgiving! We watched the show, and unlike previous airings, the winner was not announced on television. Rather, the screen asked viewers to log in to this site ... and I don't see the winner posted. Has this been decided?
Oh, and the banker gets way too much negative feedback .. he is a BANKER, after all :~!

I was at an open call in las Vegas earlier this year - is my application still on file or do I need to reapply - CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER ME .. this is the 3 or 4 time I HAVE ASKED THIS QUESTION...

TANE

Chippy, guess that makes you a moron then, huh?

I DONT LIKE YOU!!!!

GRR!!!!!! GRR!!!!!!! GRR!!!!!! GRR!!!!!!!
GRR!!!!!! GRR!!!!!!!

I stumbled into this site looking for photos of the briefcase babes. Lo and behold I find a blog of 300+ postings by morons who think this show is legitimate. No wonder the USA is swirling down the bowl flush after flush. The nitwit contestants act like it's life or death out there. Maybe they should go to an ER in South Central LA for a dose of reality. Dumb!

Watched the Thanksgiving Day show and wondered if the Banker really took the pie in the face from Howie, or did he use a stuntman?

Why haven't you posted in 22 days? I mean, it's not like you have a life or anything. :)

Also, must be nice getting paid to sit in a booth downloading and watching porn all day.

I just finished watching the Thanksgiving show - LOVED IT...One day I hope to be on the show. My family, including my kids and my first grandbaby live in Colorado. I hope to be on your show one day to win enough money to move back to Colorado - I live in Ohio. Though I have to say, If I'm every lucky enough to get on the show you will try to get me to go home with $5, which clearly is not enough to move back home to Colorado :)

I love they mystery around the banker - it's too cool.

The only thing that makes this show tolerable is the bevy of beauties holding the briefcases. How long can you draw out opening a dozen cases?? Pointless torture. AAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Hello. I have not watched the show alot, but it is really good. I was just wondering, do you ever say anything to Howie that he does not repeat on the show?

Hi Bill I mean Banker
just had to tell you what a great show you have.Maybe one day I will try your show in person, well have a great thanksgiving

Banker,

If you were a contestant, who would assist you with deciding to take a Deal or No Deal??

Why has no one from Tennessee ever won the pick a case at home game?

Borderline Phsycic?
/someone's/ getting a big head. >>

The show is great, and no offense, but I like to see the contestants win lots of money.

Just one time.....The models should say "Hi Banker" to you when the show starts.

The Thanksgiving show was very exciting tonight! My only dissapointment was not getting to see the pie thrown in your face! Oh, and what was in the green case?

Hey Banker,
YOu really really really deserved that pie in the face.That was hilarious.But...one question and a statment,one, are you jay jay, and 2, I love Matty Day.

Banker. You do a great job though I think player greed does a lot to foil them as much as your offers.

Keep up the good work.
M

Banker,
You can be evil sometimes, but it is very funny! I would love to be on deal or no deal. While I am watching deal or no deal my 3 year old daughter will yell at the tv "Deal, Deal" it is so funny! I love the show! I love it when people have the million in their case but take a deal and loose the million it is so funny!

The show is awesome and Howie was the perfect host choice.The banker makes the show better by being mysterious.The extra gifts give the show prestige and the models are the finishing touch.

"If your a turkey, I want to carve you!"

Did lime girl Zanny get to keep the lime on wheels? I want it!!!

Watch her take the 200k out...
LOL

We loved the Thanks Giving Show the best. Howie throwing the pie, was just desert. Hope to see the show come to Texas, and be on the show one day.

How can I get on the show? I haven't seen anyone from the Northeast on. Especially PA

Hey banker guy... How did that pie taste buddy?. HAHAHA Let me know... all my buddys here at NBC in Waco Texas want to know http://www.kcentv.com

You must be a very smart guy to get chosen for that job.Love the show,I hope the show stays long enough for me to play on it!

To the Banker of Deal Or No Deal...
I have read alot of these immature comments that people have been writing to you and i dont find it funny. All these people that have all these crude things to say to a person that they dont know is rediculas. Everyone has to work for what they want in life and you are just doing your job. Sadly... I really wanted to get on the deal or no deal show to try and get some extra cash to help my family out. i am living on my own and missed mailing my application papers for being on the show. Dont have the time really since i work full time and go to school. That is life tho. No one really appreciates what they have though. Everyone has this greed when they go on the show i can see it in their eyes. it is sad, you go there with nothing... i'd be thankful to walk out there with an extra 100 dollars in my pocket and having the satisfaction of playing the game. life is a game, diffrent board everyday, desions to make and in all honesty, it is them selves that they are pissed at not you.
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely
MS.Williams

Dear Banker,

Who are you? The producer, the director, an actor? How many people are there of you? Because sometimes your short, sometimes tall. Sometimes you have spikey hair, and sometimes its slicked back. Sometimes you wear glasses, other times nada. Its time to confirm the rumors. Give it up.

You a cool banker, but you're also mean to the contestants. It's cool though, I mean some of those people can be so agrivating. I feel bad for you, you can't just tune them out by blasting Wicked music or putting on head phones. Happy Thanksgiving and such. :-)

are you reading this today during the game

I hate what you do to the people on the show because it is crewl and rude. And I hope you know that. Because I watch what you do to whoever is on the show, I would love to be on the show, but not near you, I don't like you one bit. But I love the show a lot and so does my family, but and when I talk about Deal Or No Deal people love that show so like I said "I'm Sorry" But you are kind of mean, But I love your show!

This is funny stuff..Everybody keeps blowing away the top $ right away..

This is a VERY Happy Thanksgiving for NBC's bean-counters LOL!!!!!!!

this show rocks, keep ruining the players ;>

hey banker you are the coolest ever.... ihoope you have a good thanksgiving!!byebye

That lady is so much like Paula Deen... who cooks great pies! HA HA HA HA! You got what you deserved!

Yeah, the pie was funny.

Hope your not allergic to cool whip!

WHOO HOO! the pie made it!

Hope you enjoyed gobbling that pie! oh, no pun intended! HAHAHAHA

Banker:
Would you let me bring underwriters to the show? IE: Could I have backers that give me minimum guarentees (ie: insurance) as I play..so I could continue to open cases without dealing with just your offers? I would pay for the insurance via % of take home. We could give you a run..and keep your offers honest..

The Thanksgiving show was the best!! Thanks for allowing the pie in the face!!

When that pie went in your face... it was SUCH a great feeling. Like I was in love!

Hope the banker likes the pie :)

i know people think that you are mean!!!!! Well that's your job. Deal was in my town but I could not go because I had surgery just 2 days prior. If I had gotten to go I believe I could have beaten you. If I had gotten to go to the game I would have won alot of money to buy a home for my husband and myself with a very large kitchen. I love to cook.

Turkey!




Make the banker eat PIE!CHUMP.

mr banker i realy like your show but i wish i could win to buy me a home im 40 and disable and my b/f is 50 and disable and we have 3 kids and we need a home of our own so please pick me i live in a small town in doniphan mo

Too bad that pie didn't make it to your face!!!

What do you do when there is a really exciting program on another network, and it's on the same time that your show is on? Do you have a tv in your room? Also, how many of the case ladies have you "bagged"? xo Angela

you make me hungry

I am surprised that there is no one verifying or moderating some of the comments made here in such a public and open forum. Definitely not a place for all ages from what I've read so far.
But we do enjoy the show, and wonder why you don't have more then 1 $10,000 winner via the lucky case, more It'd be a lot more interesting and draw more peopl in to the show. Just a thought.

Dear Mr. Banker-guy,

WOW you must have a SUPER life.Having everyone sit at your feet must never get tiring. Well do you wanna no about my day? It starts off at 2:30 in the morning by the crying shirks of my pet llama Henry. THEN! i have to drive 160 miles to get to a decent place because I live in and around the "projects". After driving my 5 kidsz to school, i head down 2 my mother-in-laws house to rub her GOUT aLL DAy long! FUN RIGHT! Unlike me..you always run the show.See I am just Lafonda Jami Chirstine Ally Jones.Your the *BANKER* You all ready have everything you want in life.SO WHY NOT GIVE SOME OF IT BACK TO PEOPLE. Like have you ever seen those "fake santa's" like standing outside of wal-mart asking for money 4 like charity..what do you do?what do you say? do you even stop to chat about the morning paper? i didnt think so. I wish you the least bit of luck.Feel free to write back if you.."have the time" bye.

p.s. the show is ook i suppose

OK people. I'm sorry for my comments about having illicit relations with Howie. It's all a lie. It's just that sex scares me. I remember my first time . . . it was SO very, very scary. I was all alone.

PS - I would never go with Howie, or anyone else for that matter. I remain true to my one real love. I'm engaged to my right hand.

I cannot believe all of the perverted comments you get on your blog!!! Grow up people!

My questions are....
How do you negotiate to get things like the lime green Cadillac Escalade sent to the show quickly as an offer instead of money? Is this something that is pre-planned, based upon information received about the contestent prior to being on the show?

Hi Joe.

Forget Howie . . he's straight, and too cool to mess with an STD-infested blob like you.

Guess you'll have to stick with yer mom, so get on the end of the line behind the football team.

Whats the effective interest rate if my credit card has an Annual periodic rate of 19%?

I love the banker. I personally wish he would put the screws to people more. No offense my wife does not want me to ever to get on the show because I am pulling for the banker. All of the people on the show are plain and simply greedy.

Happy Thanksgiving you wise old turkey! :)
ps: Thanks for a GREAT show!

the sex was great with howie people

pretty sure the banker is a different person on every show. even though there is a shadow, you can totally tell that the person does not look the same. this little banker blog gag is pathetic, but clever.
how much do you get paid to write this stuff on this site? sounds like a pretty fun job.
oh, and i just played online and my case, 17, had the million dollars in it. i stuck it out till the end.
dang why couldn't i have been on the show.
anyways, props to the person who writes these blogs because they really are quite humorous even though they're completely fake.
but i love the show!

I think you're just like everybody else - human. But if you think you've got an edge, just wait till I get on the show! You aint seen nothin'yet!

i like your show a lot

i like your show a lot

Howie called me peole
Howie said he is gay!
we are having sex

are you gay to banker?
call me like Howie will
i am Joe

Are you gay Howie?
If you are call (267)-334-1111
We can have sex
sexy man you are
I am Joe

The thrill of watching this show has a lot to do with your job. Have you ever wished you had changed an offer or added something a little extra to it, that the contestants just wouldnt be able to refuse?!

Also, I noticed that you said the highest pay out was $464,000. I thought I saw an episode where a man took the deal of $701,000...or am I mistaken?
Keep up the great work, the more you do, the better the show. And I like that you're never seen, it's part of that thrill!

I love this show. The most exciting part for me is to see the offer that you make after the cases are all opened. I never miss a show. No matter what I am at home in the recliner waiting for the show to come on. For the record I don't think you do what the computer tells you to do, cause I don't think that it would tell you to offer a 2007 Escalade (pink and green) as a offer... I absolutely love it!!!!!

I like to say, i like how you think.If I was in your shoe i probably be more ruthless..And the show is amazing ..But i'm not sure if any one has aked you this but what got you motivated to do this show?

banker,

i would love to see DAVID BLAINE play DOND... let's see if he could use his magic to get the million bucks...

DOND US is the best...

DOND US banker is the most
fabulous banker of all DOND show in the whole wide world...

I am going to send u a video of me to u and howie and the producer to make a KIDS Deal or No Deal!!!!!!!

= - ) -Michael

You should show your face because people probably will get de-stressed when you do. How, you ask, you may show your face one day and people won't be like,"Geezz I wish that banker dude will show his face because he is getting on my nerve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why don't u show your face on the show...............

DON'T BE SHY!!!!!!

Is there a formula to find out what the offers going to be.

Hey Mr. Banker, I was wondering if the show is going to come up to CANADA again, and since I haven't heard anything I guess I didn't get picked. And now my ULTIMATE GOAL IN LIFE IS TO GET ON YOUR SHOW AND BEAT YOU AT YOUR OWN GAME, AND I WILL...And I am still ticked that us CANADIANS, who are a HUGE part of your Viewers, are still not Allowed to play the Lucky Case Game...Pleeeez change that law, it sucks that we Canadians who support the show can not join in for the extra fun and winnings. I want to BEAT You and Howie. And mark my words Mr Banker, if I ever get on the show, I will BEAT you, my PSYCHIC Ability tells me so...........Have Fun, Kimberlee P Vernon BC CANADA

Is it true that after each model reveals her case, she comes up to your booth for a kiss?

U the banker is really creative and nice.... Maybe I will be able to be on the show one day!!!! If I am be reall nice to me

Last nights game WAS FANTASTIC!! she actually got what she wanted....i LOVED the car!!

how can you become a contestant on the show?

Banker,
I loved tonight's show and you have to admit you liked it too!

That young lady was a breath of fresh air! She was the best contestant on BOND so far - second was the southern wife and mother.

I'd like to take them both on for the top ranking....

I wish I could re-submit my application for the Canadian - Toronto show.

I could jazz it up and add my secret wish - a combination of Jessica Rabbit meets Dr.Phil crossed with Biggest Loser and Heros blended with a pinch of a life long dream and ambition that involves radio that can come to fruition when I win on Deal or No Deal...

And no you will not have to save a cheerleader or save the world.

I could bring my home cooking to temp you...Name your favourite and I'll bring that and more! Or would food be considereda bribe?

Great show...
Cheers!
Mini J.

The Banker never listens to Bob and Dan

Well the last part of my post made no sense... *head desk*

I meant that I agree with the poster who said some of these comments are really out there.

Say those two models that work just for you...do they either have names or titles we can refer to them as? (For lack of anything else, I just refer to them as 'one of the Banker's models.')

They seem to be getting more airtime too. I kinda think they're a fun addition to the show.

And yeah...I gotta agree with some of the way out there comments and spam posts. Kinda sad a guy of such high intelligence has to deal with some of these mind numbing comments...

Ha Banker, This is Paulita in a little town in Porstmouth Ohio on the Ohio river. love your show. Would love to be on it.Can not work becasue can not read or write for any thing so no one will give me that.(BUT) I do no $$..Let will you give me that job on your show to let you see how good I can word at the $$ box...Paulita in Ohio pbook@verizon.net 740-776-2431

Mr. Banker-
I can see that you receive a lot of post from a lot of people, some with decent questions and others that are way out there. My question happens to be a bit of a silly one, but compaired to some of these questions I do not feel so silly. Since you are a mystery man, do you get invited to "after parties" or "exclusive parties?" The reason I ask is because since you are a rising star it would be likely you would get invited, however, your identity stops as the guy behind the tinted window known as the Banker.
Thank you for your time for my silly question!

Are you the same guy that hosts 1 vs. 100?

I am a banker for a large firm here in the United States. I guarantee I could beat you on the show. Give me the chance, you won't regret it!! I will win! Love the show

Hello banker and producers. I have an idea for you. I think that you should lets children around the ages 13-17 on your show. I don't think that you should give them money though. I think that you should offer them a scholarship to a certain college your choice or theirs. I don't think that you should give them the same amounts of money as you do now. I think that you should offer up to $80,000 scholarship. Or you could have different colleges that are good and give the person a full ride of half scholarship to the different colleges. This is just one persons opinon i hope that you try this. If you need to contact me my Email is football_lover50@hotmail.com or you can contact my mom at jezzb36@hotmail.com. If you would like to contact us by phone the number is 1-734-529-5750 or 1-734-735-0468.

Happy Veiwer,
Tony Brehmer and the Brehmer Family.

Hello - it is Monday November 20th and I am watching the show and would like to volunteer to be the stranger that Joe from NJ gives money to while he is being a bi-shot if he wins!! I do hope that you see this and pass the info on -thanks so much
Elizabeth
a big fan

What would you have done with that ugly vehicle if she had not taken it? Was it returnable? We have a guy in our apt complex that would certainly make her a good boyfriend with his lime green sports car. heehee

Banker, I gotta say - you sure have a heart having a lime green Escalade brought in.

Hi Banker,
I love the show. I never miss an episode and i just bought the computer game. I aslo have the DVD version of the game. I think I'm ready to face you now. How do I go about getting on the show? I would love to come take your money!
Sincerly, the playa in WI

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.

Hi:
I belive the banker is very strong person which is perfect for this show.
Every time when I see the show,when the pepole win,It's just make me criey becouse "I love to be them, that's first louck.
Banker:you smart but lot's of lucky pepole out side watch them.

I really love this show I havent missed one show yet I hope no one wins the million till I get on the show. I want to know which models are married or atleast have boyfriends

Hey Banker!
If you're really up to the challenge, how about revealing the stats on what amounts have been in what cases over the history of the show. Or would revealing such info prove that the cases aren't loaded randomly and you're just wallpaper. HMMM just wondering.

THIS SHOW IS A SECOND CHANCE FROM GOD THROW YOU TO PEOPLE WHO GOT THEM SELF UNDER BIG DEBITS BECAUSE OF GAMBLING...THEY MAY LEARN THAT IN THIS LIFE A LOT OF SUCH GOOD THINGS OTHER THAN STUPID GAMBLING,AND IF SOMEONE GOT TO WIN SOMETHING ,WILL WIN WITHOUT SPENDING HIS LAST DOLLAR YOUR SHOW IS NOT GAMBLING, PLAYERS GOT NOTHING TO LOSE..AND IF THE BANKER OFFERS ONE DOLLAR THEY SHOULD SAY THANK YOU

go to ftvgirls.com and check out Christy. She was one of the sisters from fridays episode.

go to ftvgirls.com and check out Christy. She was one of the sisters from fridays episode.

i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this show if i were on i would probably be the ctest 1 ever on it just kidding lol

hey i absolutly love this show i wish i was a model 4 it please pick me to be one ok thanks

i love your show where do you get your money are you a movie star

ps you look like the guy who plays on hanibal

I was wondering if you could tell me how many episodes you've made since you've started the second season and possibly the first one. I go to College at NCCC and sometimes the show is on to late for me to watch it, and I like to keep track of all the tapes and episode #'s that there are. I was just wondering if you could e-mail me or send me a list of all the episode number's and there date's and time's. Only if you have this information. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. I REALLY LIKE THE SHOW AND I ENJOY HEARING THE COMMENTS BY THE CONTENDERS AND YOU. My Mom & I watch it every time it's one when we can to relax from the day. I take four classes @ Niagara County Community College. Never thought there would be so much work. I'm taking all Business classes to, so I know what it's like to get argervated. I should be graduating in Spring, Summer Session II of 2007. My graduation date won't be until May of 2008; for stage. But if you could give me that information, I would really appricate it.

TELL HOWIE I SAID HI!

Rock out DOND!

shame on you NBC for hiring porn stars as contestants....now we know the tryouts are B.S.... good job idiot ratings whores...

The two sister's, Courtney (the one in pink??) is also known as Christy on ftvgirls.com.....I didn't know NBC hired porn stars. Nice job.

Time is running out. All work and no play.

So many people want to guess who the banker is. It's obvious . . . . isn't it OJ?

MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE USED INLINE SKATES?!!

God Bless All Those Who See the Cup Half Full and Can Smile at Others Good Fortune. Banker you gotta Love Your Job What A Wonderful way to Spend an Evening.

The girls are beautiful, but what about us ladies? Why not have just one night with handsome, sexy guys bringing out the cases?? Yeah!

wasup again lil dirty buttcheek. i forgot to mention... how you gone call it a special night? u can afford to risk 2 million but can't give out 50 grand for the lucky case game. that's just retarded.

wadup douschbag dingleberry nuts. this show is SOO biased. you have to SUBMIt a video to get on the show!? wtf is that. and i never seen an asian or hispanic contestant. PLUS 3 out of 4 contestants are women. how about people who are poor and can't afford to buy a video camera what with their bills to pay. they never get a chance to even compete, not that you would let them even on your show. u just put on pretty people that will appeal to your audience. at least the lucky case game isn't biased I HOPE.

Your a mean banker!

Do like the models or have ever been on a date with them? how old are u??? 40?

Don't you ever feel sorry for the contestant?

Does anyone know who you really are? i think you have a great job, but a cold heart!! =(

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

hey banker dude.you are getting a lot better at tempting the players to go all the way.after all that is what you do.maybe you can change your silhouette to fit the players mood,a hat would do the trick.you could flash things onto your window,photos or objects.i like the gag gifts,maybe you could put some into the cases.you could change your call color scheme to set a different tone of the game.we love your game in our house.keep up the good work..you are the banker dude..

I would like to know how the DOND works when someone wins. Last Monday 11/13/06 I picked case #3 from my cellphone 508-944-6184 in which had $ 10.000. For the first time you did not respond my txt msg. What's going on ?
sincerely
Joana Riggins

dear howie my five year old sister loves you. every time deal or no deal is on nobody can talk till it is over love swizz

Just curious why on the show sometimes do you offer side deals like the tractor or the donuts monday now that was funny. But i was just curious i know the contestants sometimes say what they want to do with the money. And does when you fly someone in from over seas is that part of the prize they win? anyway great game hope to be on someday to kick your butt!!
Gary

In order to create an offer, does your computer program use probabilities and the largest amount on the board? Is it like determining a net present value using the probabilities as the discount rate?

Hey banker does anyone beside the people at the studio or your family know who you are? By the way your majorly kick peoples behinds at this game. =)

How do you get on the show? I would love to be able to try out to be on if it is possible. Any help is appreciated

Banker,
Personally I think that you are a pretty cool guy. I actually had a thought, I think that it would be cool to do a DOND with high school students as the contestants.See I am trying to figure out how to pay for college. I would love to try and get some of these future bills out of the way.

But anyway, I love the show and watch it whenever I get the chance. My mom is also a big fan! Thanks for keeping TV intresting.

Love the show, Keep up the good work.

Hey Mr. Banker, Do you and Howie really talk?

Ohhh, yah!

5 episodes of Canadians taking home some $$.

Here I come. Come to get some!!!

Dear Banker:
Why not offer the home viewer who wins the 10 or 50 grand the option of being a contestant on the show or taking the money? You might come out ahead and it would add a new twist. Here's the deal, use my idea and I get to be a contestant on the show. DOND?

hi banker, i loved your show last night.

hey banker,why don't you show your self

Dear Howie,
If I am to ever apply to be a contestant on the show I have a unique way of determining which case has the 1 Million bucks and no matter what offer you were to give me (including the bribes that you bring out on select contestants), Id finish it until the very end, Just to find out if my philosophy worked to my advantage. And perhaps I can donate a lump sum for you to give up the hot seat for a day and let me be the finance man and give some REAL OFFERS!!

HERES AN IDEA: (GIVE A LARGE SUM AT THE BEGINNING, ITS LIKE SAYING: "HEY THIS IS YOUR CHANCE NOW BECUASE THE OFFER WILL DROP SIGNIFICANTLY SO SECURE YOUR BEST VALUE NOW"

Even if my chest had a penny in it, guess what, thats one lucky penny thats worth a million bucks in my mind!!!! WINK WINK

Mr Banker,
Please have someone contact me concerning the Lucky Case game. Is there a reasonable explaination as to why they stopped putting up the last name of the lucky case game winner at the end of the show? All we get now is the first name and last initial. My inquiry is about Susan S. who was chosen on a big Thursday and won $50,000. Please update the winners list online. I have not been contacted, so I don't know if the winner was me. Please respond. Thank you.

Does NBC REALLY have that much money to give out to every contestant season after season? I hope you get paid well!

Hi Banker,
When are we going to get to see the real you?
L

Haven't any of you read the credits? The offers are made by the producers of the show... not the banker. Sorry, Mr. Banker! Your legal department outed you. You're a character just like Howie and the models. The PRODUCER'S offers ARE based on a statistical model, rounded to the nearest $1,000 (except in one case where the offer increased by $1).

After having watched the show over the last few weeks, I'd been thinking about trying to get on. How would you, or even Howie, react if a contestant were to simply write down their case selections before the show, pull the paper out on the show and just go straight down the line to the end (reguardless of what the outcome would be)?

Hey banker i think you should show your self i tell my friends that you will show your self but they say that the reason you are not showing your self is because you have something to hide prove them wrong and show your self please

Are you the real banker? Anyway, when are you coming clean with your face, so we can see who you are? No shadow, real person. Anyway, your a nice guy to some people. And good to the NYPD officer!

I am 8 years old and I watch your show every week. Everybody says that you are evil... are you really a nice guy? Are we ever going to see your face because I want to see what you look like... not just your shadow.
Thanks.

I recently noticed while entering the "Play at home" game that there is NOT 1 winner from the New England area, actually there aren't any from the entire East Coast. Seeing how the population is much larger from the East Coast from Maine to Florida than is the West Coast from Washington state to Southern CA. what could be the reason for this? Why would that be? You can't sell me on that a simple answer that there are more people that vote from CA because I wont buy it. Help myself and a few friends out with a logical answer to this please. AJP Chicopee, Massachusetts

too funny, another greedy cocky cop lost almost two hundred grand it was great

I haven't seen an answer on this question yet: Does anyone ever win the Lucky Case Game by entering online or are the winners all from text messages? I think they should post it under their name at the end of the show what method they used to enter.

why dont you ever show your face? Have you ever been in public?

Dear Mr Banker,
How do I contact someone about the lucky case game? A few shows ago a Susan S. won, but I have never seen the name posted anywhere in past winners. When they announced the winner that night, it was not my state, but there also wasn't a town mentioned. Could this have been me and there was some kind of mixup in location? I would like to be contacted regarding this matter.

Mr. Banker Sir..
I have been watching the show off and on since it started, but my husband is the bigger fan. I can understand your adapt skills of judging the contestants and offering over or above the computer generated, or calculated percentage in relation to the amount of money left and the number of cases.. I do not believe you actually need to be psychic, or that you are. It is not hard to see how the people are and will react as they do wear their feelings on their sleeve. Your personality, however dull and lifeless it is entertaining but you need to make more personal comments to fire these people up. It's NOT your money you are giving away and insults and comments can make or break the deal. Also, I've noticed that there are certain models who frequently have the lower amounts... Interesting.
Howie is THE deal breaker in this show and without him I believe it would be another made for late night Fox "so your up late now what" show.
Continued success to the show and all the people who get the opportunity to win.
Future contestants: Don't let greed stand in your way of making a fantastic deal!

S.Seacrist

I love the show and I don't care who LOVES/HATES the Banker,you must admit you can not WAIT to see what the DEAL will be!!!
I think the Deals are pretty fair considering the source and the subject,I SAY YOU GET ANYTHING OVER $150,000 , "TAKE IT AND GO FOOL!"

The home winners - are they mainly the text entries, or does it matter how you enter? Thanks

Looking over some of the replies, I can see why you haven't been answering questions nearly as often. There are some decent questions in the mix don't get me wrong, but there's a lot of spam and few things that have been answered a few times over.

A shame though - I really enjoy reading these entries.

Anyway, I'll toss my hat into the ring and attempt to ask something. Hopefully, it's a somewhat intelligent question.

What are your feelings on the cast and crew you work with? (There have been a couple things mentioned about the models, but nothing on anyone else that I could find in the archives.)

If you have a background in finance, then you know what "expected value" is (that's add up the money in the remaining cases and divide by how many cases are left, for the morons). If you want contestants to take your deals, start offering them AT LEAST that! It seems to me that you really aren't that interested in reducing YOUR OWN RISK. If nothing else, do it on the web-version; I oftentimes will have 1 huge amount left and 1-4 "busts", and I refuse to deal because the offers are nowhere near fair!

Hi there,Love your show, love your discreetness-truely makes the show exciting.But I do believe I can beat ya at your game.Winning any amount is by far a blessing considering I dont have diddly squat now, Ha! Living in S.C

can you tell me what the winning case number was for those playing at home was on Thursday, 11/9. It's important to my sister and I.

hey i love the show how can i get on it. whats the min. age to be on it.

i think that you should offer people more money and then maybe they will take your deal every once in a while! haha you are a sly dog yo. keep it real

I know who the banker is

What method do you use to come with an Offer. please answer the question as soon as you can. We really appreciate your answer.
thanks

MR. Banker,
Or Is It Lorne Michaels??? I'm going out on a limb & saying that I think you ARE Lorne Michaels. The reason why I know that Is because i am a better physic than you are. I just played the game on-line & outwitted you by winning $750,000!!! So I guess I'll have to come on the show & take the million dollars off your hands. I know you're just Itching to give It away. Mays well be me. See you on the show.

Dear Mr Banker : Is your name mean Mr. Sprague ? If so, do you want to go fishing ? I'll bring the doughballs !!

your friend, Laura Ingalls

If all you guys care about Mile and his D*mn kids so much send him some money yourselves. It's a game show. Why doesn't Miles get a job like everyone else who has to support their kids?

your mom's tip is under the sheets of your bed where we got it on

Is there a mathematical formula you use for determining bank offers? If so, please e-mail me at bryanpresley@verizon.net.

test

Hey Banker,
I just played the deal or no deal online. I won the million dollars and I was just going to tell where to make the check payable to. 3674 Bailey Lane, Batesville, CA. Thenks

dear banker, I bet that I could a million dollars and that wold send you home to mommy and dive you crazy LOL!

Dear Banker, i think that when people say no deal that you start crying like a little baby and run home to mommy.

Hello Baker,

So many people tell you about them selfs.From what they like to who they are.
But we never get to hear about you.Who are you? Whats your favorite color? Do you fancy spigetti and meatballs? Whats your take on water fowl.Whats your favorite holiday.MINES ARBOR DAY! Trees have feelings to you know! I send you love and best dishes from my kitchen to yours.

-MEhGAN,age 34

Hey Banker:
I applied to be on the canadian Version and hope to take you on. Although it dosent take intelligents to play this game, its amazing how greed takes over. The show is brilliant. Look forward to dealing with you in Canada.

This is for Laura D.....Howie bumps fists because he is a germaphobe. He will not shake hands with anyone and so that is his way of shaking hands. Get over yourself!!!

Afternoon,

You are the best! You add alot of mystery to the show in that your face is not seen and you don't talk directly to contestants on the show.
I was wondering if there was any one contestant where you really wanted to tell Howie to give the phone to them so you could speak your mind directly to them? And if so, why?
Thanks!

I HOPE YOU SLEPT LAST NIGHT AFTER THAT DISGUSTING COMMENT ABOUT NOT CARING ABOUT MILE's 6 KIDS. I HAVE A FEELING I WON'T BE TUNING IN ANY TIME SOON. HAVE A NICE DAY YOU SLIME!!!

This takes no real skill people, really ...it's deal or no deal...how complicated does that seem?
The real game starts and ends with the banker. Use that massive organ of yours and enjoy beating these simpletons, till WE meet.

i have a question for you...
which do you like more ninjas or pirates
and also
your job sounds fun...lol
sounds like somethig i would like to do
Pease-out

LoVe the show... Banker or Howie do either of you need and office assistant??? lol take care~

I think you are an honorable man, Takes guts to do what you do. I woud love to be up againist you.
Do you enjoy your job???

Dear Mr. Banker,
I agree with Marlene Foster.
I am just watching the show and I just saw Miles M. take the deal. Anyways, I do think you can be mean.

"He said he doesn't care about your kids.."

oh man... that was so cold, and I laughed at the same time.. still kinda cold haha

DEAR BANKER, YOU JUST CHANGED MY OPINION OF YOU A LOT. YOU CAN BE MEAN OR FUNNY OR NOT CARING BUT TO JUST TELL THIS MAN YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT HIS KIDS IS NOTHING MORE THAN CRUEL.

I win. Or Quiz Show.

Today is new? I don't own a cell phone and you can't read a comic book.

I know who you are, and I know how you think. You don't know me. I have the ability to see with a 6th sense! And, one day I will be on the show to take all your money!!!

Hey Banker,

What kind of qualifications were needed for your job? Most mathmaticians, I guess, could probably come up with a sum to offer based on the contestant's odds of winning and what they've revealed so far... is it as much of a thrill for you to try and beat the contestant as it is for them to try and beat you?

You're awesome!
--Marie.

Banker
Who are the hardest people to read when deciding your offer?

Hi!

I believe you can read people, but psychic, not.
Maybe soon you will have the opportunity to attempt to 'read' me.
You will fail!

Regards,
Beth

hey banker. In your blog you said you don't rely on your computer to propose your deal...that what bankers do, they use their computers to compute their figures. do you use a pencil and a hello kitty notepad??

Dear Mr. Banker,
I read your blogs and it is just hysterical.I read this back to my husband, and he also feels the same. What a great concept this program has done for you and Howie. The network did so well that other stations are following . Kudos to all of you

I want to know why all the winners have come from the north. I have picked the correct number every week and I cannot understand that.

i WOULD THINK MORE OF YOU IF MY NAME WAS PICKED TONIGHT, MY HUSBAND IS GOING IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 2 STENTS IN THE MORNING.
THAT WOULD MAKE HIS NIGHT,SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT TO ALL THE DR'S.

I would like to know why no one from Tennessee has won??????

LETS GET STARTED GIRLS! 26 DREAMLOVERS!

Who is your favorite DOND Model?

Hi,

Will you be coming to Canada for the five episodes? ... because it would be cool to meet you and the rest of the crew. And to show you what a tough contestant I am!

Hi Mr. Banker,

We may never know if you are telling the truth or not!!!!!!

Hey Mr. Banker,

What political party do you root for?

You sound like a tight-fisted republican or whatever, pro-life, pro-gun control, anti-gay marriage and stuff. Are you? But any how, love the show, and you're probably my favorite person because Howie is bald. Bald no cool.

xo,
Allie

P.S. Bull, it's all the computerl.

Dear, Banker My name is Anita Williams and on Sept 29, 2006 I camped out at Navy Pier for the open call that the show was doing Sept 30, 2006. I end up getting a call back and that Monday I had an audition to be a contestant on the show. Then I say about a day later when I got off work I looked at my cell phone and this number was on my phone and also on my home phone with the last 4 digit 5600. I don’t want to input the entire number. I feel in my heart it was the show. Now I’m more convinced this has to be the show trying to contact me because the same number appeared on my cell Nov 3, 2006. I got home and the number was on my caller id. Once again I missed the call because of my work schedule. Banker I know you probably could care less about my problem, because this isn’t in you job description to listen to me wanting to be on the show. I just want to let the show know (DON’T GIVE UP ON ME ON TRYING TO CONTACT ME!) I do want the chance to change the life of my mom and my daughter.

Anita Williams

hey sexi banker u know wat we want?????????to see u there should be a competion and the prize is to see You!!!!!!

Hey Banker are you really just one of the producers sitting up in a booth?

Hi Banker. I think your disguise makes the game even more exciting. You have a great sense of humor with it's twist of evil, which I find funny. Will you ever come out and reveal yourself? Maybe on the last game airing? Anyway, I've read your blogs and think you have a great sense of humor. However, sometimes you sound a little too confident, but I guess you're just doing your job.

Here in the UK, our DOND banker doesn't have a blog so I decided to go with your one. Unless, of course, you are the SAME banker? That would be an interesting discovery.

Good luck.

So, Mr. Banker, it is my take that you are being paid rather well to read the odds on the Board and the personalities of the game player in order to send them home with as little as possible (or at least keep at a minimum). And, it is both personalities that keep everyone coming back to watch the show! Of course, Howie is a large part of that dynamic. The best part (if one does not get too greedy)is that people do have the opportunity to go home with a great deal more then they walked in with and can change their lives to a certain extent. And, I think that is great how the show brings on family members that they have not seen in a while. I went to your open casting on Saturday, 11/4/06 in L.A. By the time I got up to the top level, I almost forgot why I was there. I had never ventured into such an event before and I can tell you at 58 I will probably never do that again. I would probably have better luck buying lotto tickets and the line would not be so long to wait in. I felt like by the time we even got up to the interviewers, they were and looked too tired to even give a rats ass at that hour to really listen to anything we had to say. Although, one guy at our table did get a "B," whatever that means (back maybe)? He told her he wanted to be a rapper! I guess that is what did it? The rest of us got "Ms," whatever that means (maybe mob) and then sent down to take a trivia test. That is the last thing I wanted to do after standing in line for 5 1/2 hours. I was too tired to take the trivia and I don't want to be on a trivia game anyway.

But, even though I did not have a shot at getting on the show, there were lessons learned, I enjoy watching the show, and seeing others win. The young lady on the show Monday night was just adorable and it was great to see her win as much as she did!

My family and I all 5 generations of us and our crazy dog watch your show faithfully twice a week. It is the greatest show we have seen in years. We were thrilled to here you are allowing us canucks to join in the the fun. I have submitted an application for an audition and challenge NBC to take us on!!!!

I belive that you and others do your homework/research and know dates, numbers, and etc of each person, and the odds are in your favor.

Who are you? And why won't anyone release the info as to who you are?

Hey everybody, the banker told me to tell you to click on my name 5 million times. So do it. NOW.

Hi I love to eAT C00KIES PL0X FEED ME SOME YUMMY peanut butt3r c00kies...!!!111oneoneone!!! mmm cookies, can i have some? I love to eat cookies. yum. make me some wit u moey n33b 101 0wn3d pl0x

Hey Banker:
If I go on your show, how about we strike a deal together, we'll legally sign a document stating I will share the winnings with you when you give me an awesome deal, say, 800,000, then I'll give you half :)

If any lady ever actually said 'yes' to kissing you, would you really risk someone seeing what you looked like for a mere smooch?

Well Mr. Banker, you sure have a lot of stress, don't you think :)

Just kidding! My name is Gina and my husband is going to try for the show! This would make are life a whole lot easier, since my mother just got ill and we have no way of taking care of her. I really really really hope we can have a chance to go against you! I love the show and think this would finally be our break in life for my mother and our family.

MACY:

Macy--
Give your mom this link to fill an application. Hope this helps!
Cheers=)

Thank you for bringing DEAL OR DEAL...my absolute favourite GAME show to our home city Toronto Canada. This means a lot to us. I am applying and hopefully I'll get picked and buy my dream house for my family whom I love very much. Love your show! Cheers

you stink banker.... just kidding... lol

This is a show that only clueless MORONS that believe in PSYCHICS and other flst-earth society BS can enjoy. COntestants are purposely selected to be 'barefoot and pregnant" and desperately need $.

Howie shamelessly exploits the contestants IGNORANCE of basic probability by encouraging such BS as "picking a lucky case" and other nonsense.

Watch JEOPARDY, or at least Wheel of FOrtune, or 1 vs 100, all also on NBC.

On these shows, at least you can use your KNOWLEDGE and INTELLIGENCE and Good memory and your BRAINS to win!

And NOT rely on DUMB LUCK.

FINALLY, Mr. Banker!!!

You have eluded my question for over a month now. I’ve told you what I would do with a million dollars; take a mission trip to Africa, fix my pastors roof, pay for my older sisters university, take my youth group on a mission trip, sponsor more sponsor children – my wife and I only have 4 – and many other philanthropic ideas. Oh yah, I would also buy a car as I gave mine up when I got married!

All I have asked for was the chance to apply, the problem being that I am a Canadian. You have not responded to my posts, but in watching Deal or No Deal I have found out that you will be doing a few Canadian episodes.

So, Deal or No Deal producers, I thank you. And as for you Mr. Banker, well... I can hardly wait to make a great deal!!!!

I’m sure I’ll “see” you soon!!!

Don

What do you look for in contestants?

I would just like to know if someone could tell me what the percentage of winners NOT on the show are text message winners and how many are winners by logging on to NBC website.

Banker Man,
How can you sleep at night knowing how nasty you've been to the poor contestants?

Hello Banker,
How are u doing?? I just had one question regarding prize money won. How much tax is applied on it?? Does NBC pay all at once or in annuity? I would appreciate it if you can answer these questions..btw nice deal with tonights show.

Really the Banker’s job isn't all that hard. He is more-less a glorified poker player. There are 3 factors for his decisions.
Cerebral - this is psychological and observational/factual. Psychological - if it comes between $1 and $1,000,000 $250,000, others would need to see at least $500,000. The banker would need to make that call. Keep in mind the banker probably (I would think he would) know who he is going up against and has already viewed their information to put together a profile of their needs, wants and personality.
The next part of this is observational/factual. What does the person want? How competent are they with odds and value? If the banker sees someone who is obviously good with odds and numbers the banker is most likely not going to try to pass a bad deal on him.
Odds - computer calculations, pure math. Same for poker too. You have % chance of your case being worth X amount. If the all that is left is $1 and $1,000,000 the banker won't offer $900,000... that's not conforming to odds and math.
Ratings - the banker can't play hardball. The network needs ratings here. The show needs appeal. No one wants to watch a show where the banker offers $10 dollars no matter what is on the board or lowballs so much people just crumble. That doesn’t make for suspenseful T.V. The banker needs to come up with good thoughtful figures. if the banker gets too aggressive the show loses it's big money feel. People want to see big money.
Combine these three factors and that’s how the banker plays.
Don't think of him as being nasty; think of him as doing his job to produce ratings. He could easily pressure folks into winning a lot less, but that's not exactly his job.
As for how good of a job he does, well do you watch the show and post on this forum?

I want to know where do I need to go to find out when open auditions are on the nbc site...someone help!!!! P.S. Banker your awsome....I hope that you do your job well. It keeps me and my b/f on our toes when we watch.

hi!
Last March or April my cousins and I were told by the producers at our final audition (NYC) that we had passed the audition with flying colors and would "definitely be going to the next level." To date, we have not heard anything re: a taping. What's the average wait?

I hate when u hurt people feelings that makes me cry.Why do u make all of those horrible offers.You need to reval your idenity if u wasnt so scary.Hahahahahahahahahahah!

LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL....I dunno y i am saying this but o well.....lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol.......rofl....bye

Just wanted to say that although you think you are god, heres a secret its called a complex. If someone else were in your shoes and you were a contestant, do you think you could outsmart the banker?

I never thought I'd enjoy a game show but my wife and I watch the show every day that it is broadcast.

I would like to know what formula you use to determine how much to offer. I understand that you ultimately use your discretion but their must be a forumla you use as a guide.

keep going

Nicole keep being peppy he hates it.LOL

Love the show. I entered the lucky case contest online as I don't have a cell phone. Hope I win. Great concept you guys got there. Did you (banker) have anything to do with coming up with the idea for the show?

Blondes are the most wonderful creature on the planet......NO DEAL BABY!

You go Nicole!!! I think the banker has a crush on you!! LOL

i just wanted to say i absolutely LOVE you!
you should definately show your face!!!!

ok, I gotta know, are the models really tat good looking,also what are you doing on that computer :)

sup when will u show ur face just say were u ever on any other tv show ?? thanks bye

You know the show is coming to Canada in 2007 to do 5 shows and I have put my name in the hat with many others that have. Hope I get a good offer from you if I get picked for the January 2007 tapings in Toronto.

Hey Banker,
I was there! My daughter is the highest winner to date. You offered her quite a lot, but she stuck with her case. Remember, "8 is Great!" (Sentimental reasons.) Anyway...for you non-believers out there, Michele loves the show & waited on line for 6 hours with her wonderful husband, for an open audition. Well worth it! So all who are interested, check the NBC web site for the cities where NBC is looking for candidates or make an audition tape and send it in. Who knows, somebody has to win the million sooner or later!

Deal ot NO Deal is awesome, and so are you!

Your show is so awesome and you do a real good job...... and by the way regious is who u are from who wants to be a milloionare!!! yur the banker on dond

You look like David Gest - any relation Mr. Banker?

You look like David Gest from the profile.

Dear Mr. Banker:
Are you Bob Saget?
Thanks,
DonutMan.EXE

hay mr.banker why do u alays hide your face be hind that tinted windo and wave to the people and if i got on the show i would not sell my case because i have good fellings on the cause i pick and i am un readabull and i play the game on the inter net and have won the million 37 times and have almost figger out where the million is in the game every time.

Hey Mr. Banker, get a little lonely up there in that dark room by yourself? I could keep you company... ;)

Dear Banker Guy,
I really wonder why you always hide your face to everybody? I kind of believe that you can somehow sense what's inside the case(s) (Unless you are the third party person that puts the money amounts in the boxes) but the whole thing is a different story. That girl that really wanted money for a tractor and she wanted to talk to you. You were "discusted" by her? Why won't you just talk to her or show everybody what you look like? I have my own computer and my own office and I think that it would be very hard to see and concentrate on the bank offer with all that red around you. Should the bank offer be 2,000 or 345,000? It might help if you just turned a light on.
I don't really know what else to say but from what ever else I can pick up from you you seem like a really nice guy (picking up stuff like your shadow and your glasses I can pretty much tell what you look like. Otherwise you also seem nice from the blogs that you write.

Sincerely,
Nathan L. - Oregon

HI,HOW ARE YOU THIS IS DIAMOND FROM THOMASVILLE,GA ME I AM FINE RIGHT NOW BUT I HAVE SICKLE CELL AND I WOULD LOVE FOR MY MOM TO TRY TO COME ON THE SHOW TO TRY TO WIN 1,000,000 DOLLARS BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO WIN THAT MUCH WE CAN WIN A SMALL PREPORTION I AND WE ARE JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE .

http://laptops.freepay.com/?r=33805431

Wow! That was so close from Thursday that she almost got 1,000,000. She was really lucky she taken out lots of the little amounts. I was sure it was 1,000,000 from commercials, but you lied, right?

Btw, GET YOUR TRUE IDENTITY OUT! LOL!

Do you like cashews?

Hey Banker
Are u married??

Love the show....... Love Howie............. Love Hayley..... Love (to hate) the banker......... Hey, whatever happened to Donna (was that her name?)

My husband and I love the show. You have even dragged me away from CSI on Thursdays. We love seeing people win large sums of money, and we cheer them on here at home. We also play the lucky case game, but by the internet--that way we can enter a guess for every case, lol. Love every facet of the show . . . Howie, the "pretty ladies", and the Banker, too. :) Rock on!

hay was yo reel name aniway? and why caint we see who you is? I dono but you rule the show...gettin all dat monay!!

Hayley is the most beautiful model out of all of them :) Gorgeous!

All I gotta say is this:
If I had a million dollar,
I'd buy you furniture for your house
(Maybe a nice chesterfield or an ottoman)
And if I had a million dollars, I'd buy you a K-Car
(A nice Reliant automobile)

Hello, Banker. You do a great job of reading people. I like the suggestion about switching cases, but for a real twist, allow the player to switch ONLY when the player is down to two cases (or, said another way, the player can choose to eliminate the case they chose, or the last case they did not choose.)

How about sending some of that money you are taking from the players my way? I promise I will put it to good use.

hey, how do we truly know that we know that you don't rely on your computor and how do we know that you are a psychic or not?

== TO "DOND" CREW: ==
Howie rocks; the girls rock... and YOU, Banker... you just gettin' that money, so I ain't mad at ya. ;)

Just waitin' for THAT day when you will break and actually give the MAJOR MILLION to the WINNER!!! WHOOOOO!!

PEACE + LOVE -- Kelly out!

~JK~

PS: My fave models are Claudia, Lisa, Ursula, Tameka, Leyla and Hayley... ;)

Hi there Mr. Banker!

Your post on 11/1/06 "Psychic Hotline" became particularly obvious on last night's show. The odds were on Ms. English, but you did not adhere to statistics, this is when I could almost see you crossing your fingers hoping that she either not continue or knock the $1,000,000 case. You knew she needed the money and did your very best at offering her enough to walk out to make her dream of building a new house for her mom a reality, but did not pay out as much as if you would have offered money based on the stats – talk about a win-win. Are you commission driven, or has the show been too generous does far?

You do a great job, keep it up! I love the show. Say hello to Howie and The Models – of courseeeeee.

PS: I had picked case 23 last night, I know you would have then have picked a computer driven offer to get me out - :0)

I saw small parts of yesterday's show (only the last part, when it gets interesting. It is quite boring to go thry the first 12-15 cases or so).

The contestant ALMOST made an utter god damned fool of herself, but she is very lucky to not have hit the 1,000,000 case (her own case had a pitiful $1) when she accepted the deal.

Very foolish and greedy of her, to reject a $441,000 offer!

WETHER she had $1 or $500,000 in her case, or even a million.

Only a god damned fool, encouraged by the stupid audience AND HOWIE (the Banker is innocent in this!) would do that!

She is lucky she did not end up with a measly $1, which was what her stupid case contained.

If she had any brains, she'd KNOW it was UNLIKELY that her case contained the $1 mill, BECAUSE there was another contestant whose case DID contain a million, only a few days ago, so,

the probability (independent cases) of two contestants havign the million is 1/26 times 1/26, or

0.00147, or one tenth of one percent!

NOT my kind of odds, but what to the stupid water buffaloes know...

PS I'd love to be a contestant on JEOPARDY. never done it so I do not know how well I'd do, BUT at home, playing against the 3 every night, I win 4 ourt of 5 games every week.

it is a FAR better show, and when you win, you EARN it and prove your KNOWLEDGE and INTELLIGENCE.

In DOND, you prove NOTHING, except that you are a down and out loser and make a fool of yourself on the stage with all these silly emotional BS.

I really hope that deal or no deal and nbc looks at all entries in the suit case game, because there are still alot of peope out there that do not have a cell phone .
love the show ,have watched since the frist one.the banker is pretty awesome too :)

MR. BANKER MAN,

I LOVE YOUR SHOW AND HAVE BEEN HOOKED ON WATCHING IT SINCE THE VERY FIRST SHOW. I HAVE SENT MY TEXT MESSAGES IN FOR EVERY SHOW TRYING TO PICK THAT WINNING CASE BUT NO SUCH LUCK YET! BUT I WONT GIVE UP AS LONG AS THIS SHOW STAYS ON AIR. OR HOPEFULLY I WILL ACTUALLY GET ON THE SHOW ONE SOMETIME. THAT WOULD BE MY DREAM THAT CAME TRUE. WELL KEEP THE SHOW UP. I LOVE YOU AND I LOVE HOWIE. OH AND CAN HOWIE BRING "LIL'BOBBY" ON THE SHOW SOMETIME? =-)

all i can say i really admire how you play the game and give offer ...how i wish i can join the deal or no deal but out of luck we dont have video vcr just what you said you know if its lucky the person is and im not..anyways goodluck and keep it the good job banker...

well you say your pshyic right?? well why dont you let me come into your room during the show? then i will prove that you dont use a computer! ill prove to everyone that has ever doubt it.... but do you have the instinct to let me. do you have the gut feeling that will find your wronge?

Have you ever thought about letting the player switch cases during play? This might make an interesting twist.

How do you have that gut instinct of whats in the case and know when to offer or lower?? Are you really smart and calculating the odds by her every guess in your brain? Or are you just also playin the game and hoping to beat the player. Please write me back and let me know how you give your offers.

I really like your show. It would be an honor to be able to play it. If I have any luck recording a tape I will send it in and see how good my luck is. they always say, do good things and it will come back ten times fold. so maybe it is fianlly my turn. Love the show. thanks

Didn't see the display for tonight's 50k winner...But anyway...the computer helps you in determining the offer. It takes the total of the amounts left and calculates the probabilities should every amount left be in the contestant's case. It is not rocket science...But fun as hell to watch...Anita was a great contestant tonight!

You know what? I have one thing to ask to you Banker. Do you even feel the least bit sad for those people, who are trying to win the 1,000,000 for good reasons? Or do you just sit up in your nice little comfy chair, and laugh? Just a little thing to ponder about. BTW, I am 14 and in highschool. And even though I think you are pure evil. I love the show. Without you, Howie, or the models there would be no show.

Take Care,
Sarah

I hate you banker!!!

You seem like you'd enjoy

"The Elegant Universe"

How about it?

You sound just like an
Insurance Adjuster.

How do you become a cotestant?

If you don't use a computer, what is that thing in front of you in the pix.

Banker my students and I would like to see if it is possible to get a copy of the data from the show to see if we can compute with reasonable accuracy your offers and the pattern to your offers. My Pre-Calculus classes and I think we can predict your offers with the data. Please e-mail me the data if that is possible and we will send your our findings. Thank you.

Sidney-a note to you...if you think this show is so "unintelligent" why do you watch or even take time to blog??? mixed feelings?

I do not believe that this show is real, can any normal joe get on the show.

Their is a MILLIONIARE being made TONITE!

SO.. Do you know which case this money is in? in advance?

HAHA YOU ARE GONNA EAT SOMEONE FOR HUGGING YOU THATS FUNNY!!

I can see that the computer's not giving you the numbers. You always round down to an even thousand. Anyway, is there a possibility i could get leyla's phone number? I love 13

You can tell by watching, the models get so nervous sometimes. it is almost as amusing as watching the contestants themselves.

Each week my husband tries to guess what your offer is going to be, and he's almost always spot on..he swears that he gets it right because you must be an accountant too. So, any accounting in your background.

Banker -

Simply put, you are a liar. To call ourself a 'case-reader'. Explain in detail how you magically get the estimated amounts of money on 'What could have been.'

Now, Anita is going to whoop your behind, and you'll go and say 'You win'. Whatever. I think DOND is pretty low compared to INTELLIGENT programming.

Earth to NBC... The American Public is pretty stupid if they can't figure out Percentages.

Quick question; Democratic or Republican?

=( Gosh, I'm watching tonight's (Thursday) episode ... you look so sad ... I want to give you a great big hug!

But you'd probably eat me.

If I wanted the money, I'd just take it. B4nX0r pwns j00!

Yeah well too bad Im still trying to get ahold of an OLD Tape Camcorders, Ya'll need to take DVDS!!!! But as soon as I get out there, Ill be laughing the whole way to the bank with 1 mill in my pocket... wait and watch for me banker, Ill be the one to BRING DOWN THE HOUSE!!!!!

(wink)

Big hello's to "the" Banker & Howie & just want to state that I believed NOTHING could pull my interest away from the standard CBS programming on Thursday nites, I'm loyal to a fault, but alas, here you've done it.
I just have one question for the "psychic" banker...
what are the winning numbers for the Powerball or Lotto in my state for Saturday night?
No deal? Oh well, didn't hurt to ask. Okay how about this question? When will my name be chosen for either gameplay or lucky at home case? No deal?
How about, which case is the lucky case tonight?
No deal? Oh well, guess I'll keep playing.
Thanks NBC & all involved for giving us viewers this show & a chance to "go wild".
Peace

Hey Mr. Banker & Howie, My granddaughter and I watch together and one of us guesses what the secret case is...but then so does thousands of other people. But my question is how about a kid & parent team on the show together picking cases. That would be a great experience for a family, both on winning and losing-as life is full of ups and downs, it would just be a fun thing to do as a team...just a thought. Love the show in Minnesota!

I think this is one of the most exciting shows that I've ever seen. You don't have to unintellegent to enjoy it. It just thrills me when you (NBC) does something nice for the contestants. Like getting a satelite fed from Iraq so the constestant can instantly talk with their loved one. Your show gives us in the middle class income something to dream about. BECOMING INSTANTLY WEALTHY... Thanks Banker

You don't determine the amounts, if you did there wouldn't be that 'what if' senario at the end!
And please tell Howie the bumping fists is gay and belongs back in the 90's.

Banker so you think you Are borderline psychic huh? WELL you are not the only 1, so is my mom and me, I also can use methods to figure out the big cases and when to stop or go to make you do your job poorly. If you would like to call us out on this you can email me and wait for me to respond. I look forward to calling you out on the show, Peter. Also if you want to give me money you can give me a valid email and my mom that used to be a head opelead/backup supervisor at bankone, now chase,shall have fun talking to you.Have a nice day.
Brian

Dang El Gatto. You sound angry. Maybe you should go workout. The fact is, people come on the show with nothing and leave with something. It's entertaining and makes NBC big bucks. That's business. I wish I could be on it. There's worse on TV. Go beat up someone else. Who cares about the Banker. Who cares if he uses a computer. Build a bridge people.

What a joke. Do you really expect me to believe that the amounts are not determined by the computer. If you really set the amounts then there is no way that when a contestant makes a deal that you would come up with the next amounts that would be offered as the contestant continues, “just to see what would have happened.”

All you are trying to do with your comment build and maintain interest in this website in hopes that it will translate into viewers continually being interested in the show. You haven’t posted a comment in 3 weeks and people may be loosing interest, so you post that which is ridiculous to generate interest once again.

Why don’t you post an intelligent question like answering why you will not let Canadians apply for the show?!!!

DOND Contestants are purposely selected to be poor and not very intelligent, and full of all kinds of childish, nonsensical superstitions. HOWIE is the villain, not the obscure banker, because he actually ENCOURAGES the contestants to make total fools of themselves, to show that they have no understanting of risk and probability, to appear greedy and play on to lose everything they won previously, WHILE they never REally need a full million, or even half a million, to fix their lives, in many cases all they need is $100-200k.

How do you think viewers in Europe will view the US population, if they assume the crowd on this show is a fair sample?

Dear Mr Banker,
I am sorry that some of the viewers need to bash you for doing your job. It really doesn't matter what they think, but I think you should know that most of us watching DOND really enjoy the show and I know I am always happy for the contestant when I see them walk off as a winner.

I have watched the show since it first started...I think ur doing a great job to not show ur face because if someone ends up with the penny, they will be really mad and could hurt u or someone so keep up yur good work :)

DOND is a LOUSY show because it tells people that DUMB LUCK is sufficient. Contestants do not EARN ONE DIME of what they win. It is PURE

TO see my point, just try to watch the show where the contestant agonizes over WHAT CASE TO CHOOSE NEXT.

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THEY CHOOSE!!! THEY HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHICH CASE HAS WHAT AMOUNT!

WHat dumb-ass idiots!

Bon Saget's 1 vs 100 show is FAR superior than yours, and will become BETTER if the contestants become far more intelligent and well informed than they are now, and the questions are SERIOUS and not dumb trivia. JEOPARDY is a good model.

Stop BS ing us, banker, FIRST OF ALL Psychics are FRAUDS, and SECOND, you can NEVER EVER beat ANY contestant, BECAUSE ALL OF THEM END UP WINNING A MODERATE OR HUGE AMOUNT OF YOUR $ BUT THEY WIN EVERY TIME.

GOT IT, "GENIUS"?

(what a retard! He thinks we are just as dumb anc clueless as he is?)

Hi Banker, we have a contest here with a radio station. If I can get you to call in I could win $1000 and you could win $1000 for the charity of your choice! Please email me and help me and your charity! It would be great!

Hello Banker, I think your villain character on the show is a great balance, and I agree you shouldn't ever show your face. I was just curious how come you and Howie have never met - or at least why we're led to believe that.

How much you're getting paid, for just sitting down in the dark? Is that a "job" that you do for a living or just a past-time?Well, just keep hiding yourself because maybe its best for you. loveyah!

Hey hey banker.... Lucky they dont let a Iraqi war vet. like me on the show cause I would win the million dollars. Then by Iraq and get most my troops outta there. Hope you win banker I like watching people sell there briefcase for less. You keep winning and I will keep watching maybe someday I will get on the show.

THIS IS WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE MY MOM FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

LOVE YOUR,

I am such a fan of DOND. I just wish that I could see someone win a million!

How did you ever get such a job as "the Banker".

Will there ever be a Howie blog?

Did you enjoy playing Monopoly when you were growing up?

I do love your show. You're gonna flip when i tell you it'e Howie that I am trying to email too.LOL I want to be on hos show. I live in B.C. Close to Vancouver and raised 2 beautiful girls on my own with severe OCD. I do not have the way or means to get him a video or anything to apply but tell him to trust me i would not embarrass the show in any way.I am a very fun loving ,goofy person who loves life.Please,i ask with sincerity to pass this on to him. Thanks Cindy

Hi Banker, I would love to try my luck on DOND. Do I need to show up at midnight to get an audition this weekend in LA? How does it work?

Has there ever been a time where someone has won the Million? Beside getting close and having the case!

That was incredibly disappointing for the contestant, I'm sure. But I know you were thrilled. I would have been, too, if I were in your shoes. :)
