Oh man that chick made such a beastly DD tonight. I think she had 12k and wagered 8k pretty early in the second round.

I like my women with balls. She's the first contestant in a while who I will root for. She had around 15k at the time and was up around 9k, so she made the right bet to put herself in position for a lock game with a get and still be in the lead with a miss. But you rarely see women gutsy enough to make that move. Case in point the other woman getting the next daily double when she had 6600 and the leader had 23600 and two categories remaining. She should just bet 6500 to get out of the lock game but still remain eligible for final jeopardy on a miss. Any miss was going to ensure she was locked out anyway, but she ridiculously bet 3000 because she's a typical woman.

Oof. Same woman who made the great dd wager to win in a lockout last game goes into final jeopardy in third place, then screws up her wager to lose the triple-stumper by $1. Totals entering FJ were 16k, 13.2k and 10.8k. First place bets 10,401 in an attempt to cover second if they both get it right, falling to 5599. Third place bets 5202 to finish with 5598.

Yeah I can see her thought process trying to wager correctly for the triple stumper, calculating the $5599 1st place will have on the triple stumper, and then she adds $1 to her bet instead of subtracting it. DOH! I'd be sick.

you know what i would have done if id been in third?--i would have bet zero. you know what else i would have done?--i would have come back the next day with 10.8k.

but im sure the third-place guy (who sucked it tonight) felt that he had the special knowledge that no one else had (despite being in third after two rounds) and he was going to get it right while first and second missed it.

wow what an idiot tonight in double jeopardy

he makes probably the worst possible wager

um it was a she, and $5200 is the recommended wager

lol at you, as always

caught up to Wednesday's show I think it was, where going into FJ the (1-day) champion, the bald guy in argyle I think, was behind challenger by about a couple thousand or so.

FJ category was Railroads, third place misses it, champion misses it but wagered $0 hoping for the triple stumper, and leader wagered enough to beat champion had he wagered it all and got it right (so wager ended up being about 15k giving him a winning total of about 33k). Alex's immediate reaction is something like "HELLO! WHAT A WAGER!" yeah, no **** Alex, it's kind of SOP in that situation. facepalm, Trebek's reactions to DD and FJ wagers are usually so terrible -- condescending when a player wagers small, and overly surprised when someone makes a large but standard one.

in b4 cool story, bro.

"whoa, hello!"

Some terrible wagering lately.

First the last couple days the kinda douchey guy who talks really weird in his first 2 games. His first game he has 2k more than 2nd on his last clue, last one is a DD, he bets 3600.

Then tonight, woman gets a DD on the final 2 clues of double jeopardy. She has 15,200 to 11k to 9k.

First DD, bets 2000, gets it right. She now has 17,200 to 11k. 2nd DD, she bets 1k. The category is about Oil companies and they've already had 4 clues so 4 of the 6 or 7 major oil companies are eliminated as possibilities. If she bets 5k, she still leads going to final. She gets it right, has 18,200, bombs final and loses.

Zimmer, you didnt even mention her FJ wager.

Scores were:
Former Champ: 7000
Middle Dude: 11000
Woman: 18200

Woman bet $199 on FJ.

Haha yeah, forgot to include that somehow. I have no idea what the hell $199 is supposed to accomplish. Although Middle dude bet $7201 so she would've won had she gotten it right.

Just seems dumb for middle dude to bet that. Seems like he only wins if he gets it right and there is no way he wins if he gets it wrong, so he might as well bet it all or else he's leaving $4k on the table basically.

All he had to do was bet small and he goes in with the lead. Instead, he bets just enough to fall into third place! Unfortunately, he gets it right and isn't punished. The next game, same guy has a small lead entering the $2k final question and buzzes in at the last second to miss the question and fall into second place. Again, he isn't punished.

Just watched this game. The FJ wager actually wasn't bad because the former champ had 9k, not 7k. She figured that the middle dude would bet 7201 to cover her. So by betting $199, she would beat a cover bet by the middle dude and she would also win by $1 if she got it wrong, the middle dude got it wrong and the former champ got it right and bet it all. Her huge mistake was the last daily double. She says sorry guys lol. Maybe she felt so sorry that she decided to let them stay in the game. She had a freeroll to a lock game by betting $4,900-$6,100, and she blew it. And it cost her the game.

I'm just glad the former champ didn't win again. He deserves more blame for his previous miscues than the woman, who figures to make badly conservative bets.

Yeah her FJ was a huge fail, I didnt realize the returning champ had 9k instead of 7k, that makes more sense now.

great appeal to authority. youre like the clueless kid who appeals to the bible in an ontology debate. here's my appeal to authority: i went to caltech and trade equities for a living and could out-math anyone in this thread.

how many times do i have to explain the betting-zero strategy for someone who is in close third? you dont even have to worry about it being optimal from a mathematics standpoint, just a practical one. the webpage you linked first cites how a 5200 wager ties the leader's $0 wager. really? how often does the leader bet 0 there? i dont watch that much jeopardy, but i have never seen a leader with two people who can catch him wager 0. the other reason for the recommended 5200 wager is that it wins on a triple stumper against the expected wagers. and you know what is the best amount to wager on a triple stumper? take a guess, yeti--maybe even you can get this one right. whenever you feel like responding, yeti the clown, let me know what wager does best on a triple stumper. then realize that you are an idiot. then maybe go back to all of our prior exchanges in this thread and realize you are wrong in every single one of them.

anyways, i came to share in the ridicule of the guy two nights ago who decided to take a stab at the last clue of DD while he had the lead, and then missing it caused him to fall into second. that was smart. but he won anyway, which was a shame.

and in the same episode, the fat woman in the middle almost ran a category about food and drink to start the show. i really wanted her to do it so alex could say, "wow, you must spend a lot of time eating!"

lol at 'i went to caltech'

just spent 10 mins skimming the posts on your other four accounts and i can confirm you are a weird unfunny dude.

From tonight:
The champion had I think 5200 with 2 clues left and first place has around 22,000. He chooses the 2nd to last clue and gets a daily double. The last clue is a 2000. He hems and haws and then bets 2000. Even if he's not confident in the category, doesn't he have to bet it all there to give himself a chance to catch first place in Final Jeopardy?

Definitely. Defending champion just gave up. He didn't have to bet it all, which would set him up not to be able to participate in final jeopardy. Betting $4,100 would have gotten it done. Leader had 22,400. That would have give him 9,300 with the 2k clue remaining, which he would also need to get right anyway to break the lock game. New champion seemed pretty good and not tilting. We'll see how she does tomorrow.

name two of my other accounts.

want me to go on?

WOW just watched this one on the DVR. I'm 23 and got the final question before Alex finished reading it. Her DD ad FJ wagering was so bad I had to come to this thread to see if anyone had posted it. Dude in the middle was a pompous creep too, glad he lost the next show.

probably not, for the sake of the people whose accounts those are. (although i know adult molester and doubt he would care if anyone thought he was me.) let me give you a pro-tip on your cyber-sleuthing though: more than one endpoint can use the same MAC/IPs. but i cant figure out how you came up with four accounts, which i thought might be what ive ever had. there have to be a lot more than four accounts that use/have used the same MAC/IPs that i use.

either way, it was a nice diversion attempt to draw attention away from the fact that your "recommended wager" is bankrupt and i have disproven still more of your nonsense in this thread.

let me give you a pro-tip bro! if you want to register five accounts on 2+2, try to cover your tracks a little. by that i mean don't register all five accounts on the same IP address, and don't log in to all those accounts on the same ip addresses in future. oh and don't use the same very distinctive '--' notation in the middle of your text. and don't post the same unfunny ******ed bull**** on every account.

anyway, completely bored of you now and will stop clogging up the thread.
