‘Jeopardy!’ contestant’s massive payday breaks single-day record

[Doug]

My bet is he is probably not nearly as successful as a sports bettor as a Jeopardy wizard, and he should be able to cash that in in some fashion !

How much could you possibly get down on something like a wins total for an MLB team in Vegas ?

He bets 75k on prop bets, yeah right ! You would need to spread out 75k in action on a regular season baseball game all over the valley,but he can do it on a prop/future sort of bet ? I call BS on that !

 

[valium]

Sure he can get down that amount. All he has to do is go to the William Hill Book at the old Sahara. They take 85,000 and $100,000 wagers on Tiger props.

 

[Doug]

Okay, I believe you, it just didn't sound right to me.

 

[valium]

Okay, I believe you, it just didn't sound right to me.

Doug, i was being facetious with my comment. i agree it would be very difficult getting down that kind of money on props. Nothing makes any sense with this guy who made the two big plays on Tiger at the old Sahara.

I've learned it is not worth arguing some points when I'm pretty damn sure I'm correct, I'll even let some things slide by when I know I'm 100% for certain that I'm correct, it's counterproductive and can even bite you in the ass, especially if the other party is your boss,... Do you want the shittiest possible duty just to prove you're right ? These people often have fragile egos, especially if female

 

[Doug]

He's back on now

Took me 35 years to learn this, and is one of the most valuable lessons one can learn in life IMO

James again by an 80 k margin

 

[sunshine11]

Lol I live on the west coast. On 3 hours later than you. I looked I couldn't wait to see if he won.

3 hours EARLIER, Not Later face)(*^%

 

[Doug]

This stuff gets to be confuzzled !

So watch it right now and I see it 3 hours before someone in the pacific time zone ?

I've lived on both coasts, ok 3 hours time difference, so if I call a friend in California/Vegas at 8 am, it's 5 am to them, I get all that.

Now Jeopardy starts in

 

[Doug]

5 minutes in he's smoking the competition by about 10 k !

The show was still 3 hours after he watched it.

 

[slapshot]

Same time

 

[Doug]

I like this guy's attitude, he goes all in on early doubles to build an insurmountable lead since he pretty much knows the answer to any question, he does It surgical precision !

He's running away with it again going into final Jeopardy, can't possibly lose !

He beats 2 worthy opponents here easily enough

James at $86,905
Jason at $ 14,400
Katie at $13,100

I could easily tell these opponents we're very intelligent people
If I were James , I would start to worry about the government abducting me for their own nefarious reasons.

 

[michael777]

Katie is HOT

 

[Doug]

Dude went to university of Illinois, earned a bachelor's degree in math

Frankly not very impressive !

James says he majored in online poker, and rarely attended classes


I believe that, no challenge there
He bets precise amounts on his daily doubles , like $11,914 and stuff like that !

I figure in my big head, 10 k or so is an appropriate wager, he comes with something like $11,913, it's not chosen randomly, he o
He has a reason for picking such specific amounts !

I could figure out the perfect bet amount to assure victory in final Jeopardy, James does it work better and takes early risks to gain an insurmountable lead, daily doubles his specialty
I'm ,at a loss to attempt to explain drug trafficking, how do these addicts,come up with $500 a day and more, to fund their addictions ?

Rhetorical question, no need to answer, I know the answer already !
UI

 

[Doug]

He's smoking his opponents yet again

 

[Doug]

James $ 71,885, 1.9 million total
Woman $7,200
Other broad $ -2,400

The only weak spot I see in him is art

 

[michael777]

he even knew Mary Poppins crap
