Careful with your tags, I got an infraction for having "tits" as a tag.

What a nerd...

Then again, that nerd will probably be driving a better can than me. +/- taxes, its still a good 55k~

It's playing tag with tits that aren't yours to tag.

Edit: Love jeopardy.

Ken Jennings won over $3 million dollars during his time on the show.

dude, that gangster bet 30g's on final jeapordy (he was up 47k to 5k)

his balls filled the room.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

he had some large daily doubles as well, i think the previous day (his first victory). i love it it when they wager high.

Yeah I saw the show when he was first on, it wasn't too surprising he bet it all in the first daily double, but then when he did it again in the double jeopardy round THAT shocked me (and Trebek!)

Haha. Betting a HUGE chunk of change that, even if he lost, he'd still be ahead of the possible 10k? LOL

 

[Epic Fail]

Dude made another huge daily double bet, answered incorrectly and barely kept the lead going into final.

I was really surprised that he missed that one.

n_ggers?

 

[rudder]

big deal... you can win a quarter of a million on a minute to win it by throwing ping pong balls around.

 

[bruceb]

He is a pretty smart contestant. And he must have been fairly certain he could answer final Jeopardy correct or the bet would not have been that big. He had $47K at end of Double Jeopardy and went home with $77K .. and he won again Wed night, but that was a tight game until the final.

Day after day, I see people who are up in the second round casually pick categories from the top to the bottom. If you're up in the second round, why wouldn't you seek out the double jeopardy squares and eliminate any chance of a comeback by the other two player? Seek it out and bet $1 if you suck at the category. I understand some of the categories aren't going to be your specialty, but wouldn't you aim for a category that you're strong in anyway to begin with? Why not go for the middle of the board where the daily doubles are most likely to be hidden instead of always starting at the top?

On the other hand, I still see people who have $4000 bet about 75% of their amount when the other players are at least $15k. Why make a wager of $3000 of the $4000? Losing all of it and losing 75% will still make you a considerable underdog, so why not just risk it all if you're in that situation?

WTF? Double jeopardies are randomly placed are they not? There's no point in guessing randomly...

The Mormon Church won over $300,000 during Ken Jennings' time on the show.

Fixed.
