This is something I've wanted to say for a while, and today's show has given me a reasonable chance to do so.

Not long ago, I found a comment on Facebook referring to Mariyam's game, saying something like:

"To all those who think turning down £60,000 was greedy: it was not. In my mind, taking £60,000, and not showing intentions of taking a risk and going for the big money, that's what greed is."

This, to me, appears to be the Wakeyist definition of greed.

I would define 'greed' as:

"Not being satisfied with what you have, even though what you have is perfectly sufficient, and wanting more."

Also, as has been said many times before, people only call the players 'greedy' if the gamble goes wrong; if Nong had had the £5 in her box, I'm sure a lot of the people congratulating her for gambling would be a lot less impressed, and saying she was 'greedy'. Likewise, those who called Gurpal 'greedy' for gambling would not be saying so if he'd won the £250,000.

Others will argue that, had Gurpal and Nong dealt, they'd have been greedy for not 'playing the game', and not wanting to risk losing it all.

I don't buy any of this, which is why I stay well out of arguments of this on Facebook, even though I disagree with what is said (if Antonia had had the £250,000, Facebook would've gone into meltdown, I'm sure.

That's all I have to say on this matter; no ranting intended, you understand; any other thoughts will be welcome.

Definition from dictionary.com: "excessive or rapacious desire, especially for wealth or possessions."

Which usually seems to translate to "always wanting more", which is consistent with a play-to-the-end philosophy.

Some people would argue that even appearing on the show is greedy as nobody (apart from Danielle) loses money!!

In that case everyone should just win 1p and be happy then!!!!

According to Youtube and Facebook- You are greedy if you gamble and lose. You are brave and incredible if you gamble and win. If you Deal a sizeable amount and the big money goes in the proveouts, you will be commended for not being greedy. If you Deal and the small amounts go in the proveout, you will be attacked for not being brave.

That is quite clear Bullsh*t. I can't really think of any true 'greedy' players at this moment.

People like Gurpal took very questionable gambles, but he was also brave in doing so. He was not greedy because he got the lower amount. Would Nong be greedy if she got the lower amount ? No. She took a very questionable gamble, it was also very brave of her to do so... and luckily it paid off. If Gurpal got the £250,000, my feelings would be the same as for Nong's game, questionable, brave, but it worked out.

As it was, questionable, brave, but sadly didn't work out.

But try telling that to the retards on Facebook. There was one particular specimen during Gold Medal Deal who went as far as to call Tony ''a failure at life'' for not going to the end because he had more than £24,000 in his box... this same person then slammed Ricky for being ''greedy'' for actually going for it, only to not succeed in keeping the big numbers in play and ending up with a blue.

Idiot people.

I hope you called them a complete and utter hypocrite.

The whole show is about greed though surely? It's essentially the definition of the game otherwise why haven't we had someone deal at the 1st offer?

Personally I would never call anyone greedy for chasing the money
