Today's twist of the banker's gamble with an enforced swap had me pondering.

If you had strategy that you'd never swap (KP you can skip the rest of this) and you had the offer of a banker's gamble that was worth the risk (say for example you were guaranteed a high red/low blue and/or the money you were risking was a poor offer for the final 2), would you accept the gamble, even if it meant swapping your box?

I'm not sure what I'd do but I think if the gamble was worth it, I would reluctantly have to accept the swap.

Can't really vote to be honest. Depends on my feeling ultimately...

I'd never swap as I wouldn't want to face the potential "agony" of giving the money away. So even if the banker's gamble was worth taking, I'd have to decline it as I wouldn't want to swap.

That's made me laugh almost as much as the football result.

I'd consider the swap with 20K or less in play but never on the banker's gamble probably.

Normally I wouldn't swap. But if the Banker's Gamble was to good to turn down then I may just swap.

It would depend on the amount at risk and the box that was left in play.

I'd be quite happy to take the gamble, as the other box would always be 11 or 2, so I'd be happy to swap.
