With Box 7 in the first Sunday game 8/10/2006 and the opportunity to swap it at the 2 box stage, with £1,000 and £100,000 still left would you have taken the swap?

I personally wouldn't but Barbara said she had her reasons and that she preferred blox 15. If it were me and box 8 was the other box out there, I'd like to think I would keep my box but I'd be sorely tempted to swap. Hindsight is great, isn't it?

Well as a few of us have argued on another thread, there's no mathematical reason why swapping or not swapping should be better.

But I don't think I would ever swap in this situation as it would be worse to have had big money in front of me all game then given it away at the end.

I'd only ever swap if I were left with two blues...or maybe something like £1k/£3k where it doesn't make much difference. Anything with a significant difference between the two boxes and I definitely wouldn't, as I'd feel too stupid if I gave away the bigger one.

No swap under any circumstances. It would be a lot easier for me to take if I'd never had the money in front of me, rather than giving it away. And I dont really have lucky numbers either!

I would only consider swapping with 2 blues or two reds that are close to each other, like £15k and £10k, but not with a massive difference like Barbara's!

I would absolutely never swap.

it wa the second sunday game


i voted no

You're both wrong...it was the third.

i would never swap with that much at steak

i would have swapped because box 7 has never had £1,000 as i mentioned

no way would i risk swapping away £100,000 i wouldn't be suprised these days if somebody swaps away the £250,000 eventually

That's pretty much the only way someone's going to take Barbara's new record from her, anyway! (Either that or swapping the £100k for a blue...)

when was the first sunday game? I must have missed it

Barbara's was the third - Richard and Frank played on the Sundays at either end of Double Deal Week, back in June.

Ok so this is the first permanent Sunday then.

Well, on my simulation of everyone's game on the online game, Gary (the one who played on 11 May and won £1) would have swapped the quarter-mill away, and he won exactly...a quid!

(As he swapped, I had to swap!)

No way. I wouldn't swap a huge gamble like that, as the feeling that you've swapped a mega-money box away would be horrible. It's best to think "Ah well, the big money was never in here" rather than "AARGH! IT WAS IN THERE BUT I GAVE IT AWAY!!".

I could not agree more Billy. But I would NEVER ever swap. Whatever. Ever.

Nope

i probably would've swapped, because 15 is lucky
