No, you have the same chance. After each empty box is removed the odds are recalculated. As stated before, past history has NO effect on the future in such cases.
8 boxes, 2 boxes, 176.7 boxes removed - if there are 2 left there is no gain nor loss in odds by switching your pick.
I think those that believe you should switch are being confused by the math that seems to suggest you should switch. But math sometimes conflicts with logic (and reality) as it has in this case.
Anyway, those that believe still will and those that don't, still won't. This thread hasn't converted anyone from their original position !!!
