Idiotic Jeopardy wagers (no spoilers before 6 EST) - Page 521

21,400
12,400
8,200

Leader gets last question of DJ that is the second daily double. Only risks 3K instead of 3,500 which would have made her uncatchable in FJ. Luckily she got FJ right or would have lost and felt like an idiot.

Catching up on episodes and had to check the thread on this one, just a mindless wager.

Then this post caught my eye before watching the Mar 24 episode. As soon as it got to the stage in the game where she was dormie, and hit the DD, I knew she was overwagering. Just terrible stuff.

April 5th game, scores going into final

23000
10000
400

Final standings here are obvious, right? Wrong - 2nd inexplicably bets 9201 and misses it, leaving him with 799. Too bad 3rd also got it wrong

I just came here to post about this.

I've never seen this before in Jeopardy - the winner got $1200 - which is less than the automatic 2nd place prize of $2000 lol

Ben bet like everything and cost himself a win, he was in the perfect spot to wager basically $0.

Neal Stephenson coined this word in his 1992 novel “snow crash”; it was later shortened by a company to become its new name

Google?

Devin has to bet big. 17,001. He still loses if Ben stands pat. Deb's bet was much worse. She can bet anything from 0-9,999 and win when Devin misses. Ben's bet is just a Hail Mary.

There's been a couple instances with no winner because everyone finished with zero. Including an infamous episode in a tournament where someone with the outright lead going into FJ wagered everything.

For Deb to bet anything >$9999 is just ridiculous.

Ben is supposed to bet $799 or less to at least get ahead of Devin if they both miss.

One thing to note is that winning at least a game, regardless of dollar score, is of increased importance this year with the new wild card tournament existing.

Why does she pause when confirming an answer is right or wrong like every 5th question?
God damn it’s annoying
You can see it on the contestant’s face “It’s right… right…”
Mayim… … … “That’s correct”

I was worried that Mayim was going to host the Masters. I'm so glad to see she's not.

Since Ken and Mayim both signed long-term contracts less than a year ago, I would be surprised if there was any major change for next season.

Who hosts what/when will probably again depend on Mayim's schedule. There's still no renew/cancel decision on Call Me Kat but that should happen within the next days/weeks.

Officially canceled, that's going to free up Mayim's schedule at least for next season.

I wonder if Alex Jacobs got any consideration for this tourney. Loved watching his games.

I thought Ken, Brad and James were never meant to play again. Pretty sure that was said after their tourney.
