Your opinions on swapping boxes at the end? Myself I would never swap as it would be a bit foolish if you swapped a high amount for a low [i might consider if the two left were blue though] but if you had £250k and swapped...

I would always swap.

I don't know why, but I would always swap.

I think it all really depends on what the values of the two boxes are.

If you had £1000 and £500 then anything is worth a gamble, but if you had £1 and £250,000 then obviously the decision is much harder!

And then there is the thing at, at the end of the day, it is all down to chance anyway. But then i suppose this makes it sooooo much more frustrating!!

I'm with you on that one, safc4eva. I'd never swap either. Like you say, if you swap and your box contained the higher amount, you'd be gutted. If it turns out that the other box had the higher amount then so be it- it wasn't your box anyway.

:D

I'd definitely swap if I were left with two blues - I'd think that as I wasn't getting much money out of it, I might as well have a bit of fun with it! Blue/red I'd definitely never swap....I think I'd swap if I had two close reds left, but not two reds with a big difference between them.

For me, it would depend on what box I had and what the other box in play was eg. if i had 11 and the other box was 22, I wouldn't swap, but if i had 22 and the other box in play was 11, then I would swap.

I'd feel much worse swapping and giving the money away than if I just never had it in front of me in the first place. However, you never know what'll happen until you're sitting there.

Yep! I'm with safc4eva and No Deal on this one..... would never swap my box. It would be awful to give the higher amount of money away :shock: and if it's not in your box anyway then it was never meant to be.

I would just be thinking that they're unlikely to give me a high number in my box for when I play, so I'd swap.

Probably wrong because they're all random...but I still have my suspicions...

It also depends on your financial situation.

If money was short then you would have to be sure you are making the right decision, but if your someone who earns a shed full, and don't feel that the money would make a difference, then you can play around a bit more.

But still, as i currently stand, No Swap!

Unless you have some kind of spiritual knowledge about what is in the boxes it really doesn't matter one way or the other, the odds remain the same! About as many people will have regretted swapping as regretted not swapping if you look at past games.

Thats very true, we can spend all day talking over game strategies and plans, but in reality it is all down to chance.

I would never swap !!

If I never had the larger amount in my box to begin with it would be much easier to deal with than giving it away at the last minute !!

Agree with that - but it would be much sweeter if you won the £250k having swapped for it at the end.

I would never swap as I dont think anyone should be allowed to swap. You are given your box at the begining and that is the box you have to hope a decent amount of money is in.
