If the demons had a roaming option, then why beg to go into the pigs?

Reverse psychology. Instead of sending them back to Hell, send them into the pigs where they can escape more easily. .

The demons asked to be placed in the pigs and Jesus granted the request. Where is the reverse psychology?

yes but Jesus is regarded as too wise to be fooled by mere demons.
Maybe He's regarded wrong.

By the way, your link doesn't work. It should be Why did Jesus kil the pigs?
