I thought it was really mean of him to offer £20.000 and then drop it to 18 cause he didn't like the joke, that extra £2.000 would have meant a lot to that guy.

I agree, but I don't think even the banker expected him to deal. Was a bit of a shocker wasn't it?

I was stunned. I certainly expected him to go on another round. I thinkt that the sparkle went straight out of his round.

Once again I felt the offers after the deal were a tad on the high side compared to the likely offers had Ronnie stayed in the game and not dealt.

Dropping to offer was mean, but it will stop people trying to get the offer increased like Ronnie did.
It was like a different man playing once he had dealt,the smile went and all the joke stopped. I think the banker really got to him.

It was mean and the dynamics of the game certainly changed after that. But as Posh Paws said, there's no way he would have expected him to deal.

£2,000 for a joke !!! Taking things a bit too far methinks

I was expecting the banker to phone at the end of the game to say you can have the £2.000 back.

Hi All
Just thought i would drop in and say thanks for the support and comments, Ronnie is actually my uncle, bit bias i now but i thought he played the game well, still a bit miffed like most of you with the banker.

Give him all of our best wishes, will you ourturkishlove, and say how we all felt for him. I expect he still had a good time though.

Hello ourturkishlove, welcome to the forum Hope your uncle enjoys his winnings, he seemed such a nice man.

cheers peggyg yep he's a real joker, my parents are round this afternoon no doubt we will be chatting about the prog and the banker lol

Hi ourturkishlove, your uncle is a funny gentleman, he reminds me a bit of my uncle,full of one liners.I bet he's a sream at parties.Well done to him anyway.

Ronnie is a lovely man,I'll bet he's a lot of fun. I was really surprised when he dealt at £18.000, & the banker was really mean when he dropped the offer of £20.000,but correct me if i'm wrong,but didn't the baker say something about " not making any more offers& goodnight" & maybe that's why Ronnie dealt when he did.I could be wrong about this,& I didn't record it Can someone put me right

I don't recall him saying that Molson, but you could be right, perhaps ourturkishlove could answer that for you as he/she must have recorded it.
