Deal or No Deal

I hate to be mean. Maybe I am more like the greedy banker. But... I laugh my a$$ off every time one of the contestants walks away with nada.

They start off the show with good odds. The game is to stick around long enough until the odds are no longer with you. Then take what you can get and run. Hey, you walked through the door with nothing.

But then the greed takes over and they are forced to take horrible odds and they keep on rejecting the deal. Sometimes they get lucky, but most of the time I fill with joy when I see the look on their sick faces when they realize how stupid they were with the greed.

Sometimes they will have a dumba$$ relative (who you can look at and tell is a nobody) with them saying "I know you got, I know you got it, I can see it in the stars, My gut is never wrong, ... blah blah". Then whamo, $hitt city, nothing.

My wife is so silly. She will feel sorry for them. I try to explain to her they were asking for it. Then I will tell her about the markets and the goal of trading is putting odds in your favor and never being greedy. As for me, I don't know why, I am really a nice person. But... that show just brings out my evil side. The one I tuck away and pretend not to enjoy. That show gives me the excuse to bring it out and enjoy it. The only reason I watch it.
