Topic	The other guy on Jeopardy had a legit chance of winning but wimped out
WilliamPorygon 05/23/19 10:07:20 PM #6:	Damn_Underscore posted... 1NfamousACE_2 posted... Would he have had enough if he doubled up? I think James would have still won...not sure though Not at the end I don't think, but earlier in the game he got a daily double and didn't make it a true daily double. If the had bet all his money instead of just $6K, all other things being equal, Nate would've had a $2000 lead going into final. Casual viewers don't really care or take into account wagering strategies and that the closeness of the final scores isn't really indicative of how close a game really was. Nate's $10K final jeopardy bet made sense because, knowing James is almost certainly going to bet enough to guarantee a victory with a correct response, his wager allows him to win if James misses whether or not he gets it right himself. Whereas if he risks it all, he ends up with a closer score and a bigger payday if he wins, but then he also has to get it right to have a chance. --- https://imgtc.com/i/XW7Qado.png https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1404-cetacea-cove <cite>WilliamPorygon posted [p:922294622] in The other ...
