Goldenballs is one of those cringe making programes.
You want it to end with a split.
But you know you are watching either one,or two people lying through their teeth to get their grubby hands on the money. :(
I'd like to think I'd split..... But then again I would n't wanna be 'mugged' of my cash. :^0

The logical way to play it is to convince the other player that the only way to guarantee that the programme pays out is for you both to split.Think of it this way I would say: If the programme could influence you it would want you to steal.Therefore we split!
That logic is so convincing that the other player would know that you will split - because of your perfectly explained logic - so ironically they could then steal.
So,the way I would play it is to say that I would steal . I would convince the other player that he/she may as well steal because I will and we can both go away with nowt.
Logically, that other player has nothing to gain by stealing (because he/she is convinced that I will).Therefore he/she may as well split with the outside chance that I was bluffing about stealing.
I then have 2 possible results
1. He/she splits and I win the lot having told the truth.
2. He/she steals and we go home with nowt having told the truth.
As you can see I am not prepared to go on National TV and be seen lying for a few thousand quid.

If you steal, and tell the other person you're going to steal - the only way they can possibly hope to get any money is by splitting.

If you come across well and a nice enough person then they're unlikely to hate you enough to stop you getting the money. They might as well just split and hope that you're bluffing.

Steal all the way, makes the logical sense not the morale sense.
