Idiotic Jeopardy wagers (no spoilers before 6 EST) - Page 220

I'm a couple of days behind, but wtfffffff at the guy who is clearly fluent in Spanish not betting everything on the Spanish to English book translation category?

I said the same thing to my girlfriend.

JUST WATCHED THURSDAY AND FRIDAYS EPISODES. SUGGEST WE ONLY USE CAPS BOLDED RED FONT AS LONG AS MATTHEW REMAINS CHAMPION IN HONOR OF HIS SPEAKING STYLE.

Thank goodness, that didnt last long. Tonight was another example of reading the whole category for every freakin' clue. Even some "I'll take Category X for 400, Alex" BS. C'mon people, knock it off.

Jesus Christ, tonight's third place FJ bid was the worst in recent memory. That clue was also super easy so he's a moron twice.

A proper wager from 2nd place is $800-$1000, connect the dots.

Oh you're right, good call. I misread the situation.

I'm sick of these people playing for the tie. Play to win! Fat guy is going to beat that girl tomorrow and she's going to wish she hadn't kept him around. She got two DD's in a row and twice bet less than the clue. And the FJ was super easy today.

AND she screwed up the cover bet, didnt he hold back $200 and they still ended up in a tie somehow? (I was at the gym so no rewind).

love the redhead!
pro tip: check out the bodies on potential cuties by watching the end credits when they all stand around talking to Alex.

No, that's an amateur tip. Jeopardy fans really don't care what the players look like.

Regardless, I don't care how good somebody looks if they wager like an utter baboon.

Grunch from this evening -- redhead co-champ's wager on the DD at the end of DJ was poorly thought out (shocking). Should have been $2200 to get to exactly 50% for tie equity, instead of the $3000 actually wagered. Not that it mattered in the end, but still.

The Zambia/Zimbabwe one?

Also, Final Jeopardy is heads up due to someone being in the red. The two remaining have 6600 and 6500.

Category was Scientists so obv gonna be AIDS.

6600 bet 4400
6500 bet 1500

Aren't those both bad?

I have no idea how to play this game really, but I'd intuit the leader should wager either 0 or 6400, and the chaser should wager either 100 or 6500. Though, I have no idea how to choose from there. If I were thrown into the situation right now, I'd just choose one of the two based on how much I liked or disliked the category, just 'cause that's the best thing I can think of right now.

Thinking about it for another 10 seconds, I think the chaser has more options, but maybe not the leader. I really have no idea, though, which is kinda lame feeling 'cause it's a HU game ><

That was atrocious. Really, the whole game may have been the worst I've ever seen.

Even worse was that she completely blanked, it was a total softball. I think she just froze.

What was the scoreboard and what would you have wagered on the DD?

Doesn't usually bother me but that was atrocious. With 2 clues left up by 400 she wagers 500. Doesn't help her at all to get it right but puts her behind if she loses. OMG
