What would you do would you swap or no swap if you were offered, or would it depend on the circumstances, or what numbers you have left?

I'd absolutely 100% definitely certainly not swap my box. You chose your box, and that is the box you are meant to have.

If I were left with two blues, then I'd almost certainly swap...it wouldn't make much difference anyway, and I'd want to get one last bit of fun out of a rubbish game! I'd also consider swapping if I were left with two reds that were right next to each other, as it wouldn't be too much of a disaster if I gave away the bigger amount. (With the exception of £100k/£250k!) Any other situation and I definitely wouldn't swap.

I probably would not swap, but if I was in a two box situation with the £250,000 in play I might swap for my favourite number left to the end. Remember that on two occasions the £250,000 would have been won if the swap had been taken, and if David had continued on on Sunday's game and taken the swap he would be the first quarter millionaire too.

At the end of the day, it makes absolutely NO difference.

But, I would feel more annoyed swapping away a high amount than not swapping for a high amount.

With that small difference, I would probably No Swap.

Although I would probably swap for fun with 2 blues or something.

I don't think I'd ever swap, unless I had a lucky number left at the end. Like H said, you choose your box, it's not forced upon you.

I was always a no-swapper but Valerie's game has made me think different - it seemed so much better than having the £10k in her original box, just as Barbara and Matt's swaps felt worse than simply having the lower amount in their boxes! :)

I think i'd no swap just because I would hate to give the big money away and then regret swapping. But then i'd regret it if it was the other way round. You can't win.

Well, I doubt there's anyone who would always, always swap, regardless of the circumstances....except maybe wakey if he didn't have Box 4. Or KP.

I really think it depends on the circumstances because in the last couple of weeks we have had players who have said they would never swap and end up swapping the right way e.g Valerie and the wrong way e.g Barbara, but we have also seen people who have said No Deal when they were on the wings but when they come to the table they say Deal. So really it depends on the circumstances of your game!

I'd only swap on certain circumstances:

> If the other box looks ok.

> If I believe there is a big sum of cash is in front of me.

Warning!

Think twice before swapping because it can cause a bad result...! :suspect:
