with the goats you should always swap, this doubles your chance of winning.
not the same with Edmonds' boxes those as these are random and nooneknows what is where so it's a 50/50 call whether to switch

how are the boxes distributed?
if they choose them themselves, then she was right to swap as the same principle applies.

Please explain this. As I see it there is one goat left and one car, why is the car twice as likely to be behind the other door? |

don't know if they choose them themselves, I've never seen the start, but don't see that it matters.
with the goat example it's the hosts knowledge that makes it right to swap, it takes away the random element.
but if you have just 2 boxes and noone knows what is in each one it must be 50/50.
I think

As I see it there is one goat left and one car, why is the car twice as likely to be behind the other door? 1 time in 3 you will choose the door with the car and therefore it is correct to stick with your choice. 2 times in 3 you choose a door with a goat leaving 1 car and 1 goat. the host knows which is which so shows you the goat leaving a car behind the other door so it is correct to change your choice. so only 1/3 of the time is it correct to stick with your choice |

Todays contestant has admitted he likes a game of poker, so the banker has accussed him of table talk and calling him a tight aggressive player, both of which comments have gone over Noel Edmonds head.

As soon as he swaps you just know what was going to happen.

funny as anything that show today, Edmunds has obviously never played poker !! Awesome run of bad luck after the 9k offer ... But how I laughed when he got the penny |

In a way I think he is better off being remembered as the first to win 1p, rather than just taking £100 home. Something to tell the grandchildren about and all that.
Don't really blame him for decisions made as offers weren't great and the only good one was early in the game when big numbers were still there to be won. Just had a bad run & at least he hadn't turned down a massive sum only to crash and burn.
