That makes sense, he's just screwing around and will certainly never overbet in final Jeopardy when he has the game won, he will know the final answer about 95% of time, so he bets some sentimental amount that is close to the max he can bet and assure victory . It almost looks fixed given the way he knows the answer to almost every question , I'm quite sure it is legit, but still amazing !

‘Jeopardy!’ champ Holzhauer tries to school Alex Trebek on gambling
“Jeopardy!” champ James Holzhauer tried to educate Alex Trebek on some gambling lingo during his 25th straight win on Wednesday night — but the longtime game show host didn’t need the lesson.
The professional sports gambler used an arcane gambling term to place his Double Jeopardy wager before clarifying the dollar amount to Trebek.
“Two dimes, please,” Holzhauer said.
One dime is equal to $1,000 — and is a phrase commonly used in gambling circles.
“All right,” replied Trebek, before Holzhauer clarified, “That’s $2,000.”
Trebek then dryly said, “I know,” which prompted a laugh from Holzhauer and the crowd.
Wednesday night’s victory brought Holzhauer’s total winnings to $1,939,027.

He's got some special talent for sure ! These other contestants on Jeopardy are not the standard idiots you'd find on a show like Family Feud, these are intelligent people
It's like watching Nolan Ryan in his prime pitching to HS ballplayers, this guy might be on the show for a very long time !
I love that he went to some not quite ivy league college, barely attended classes, majored in online poker ! College was too easy for him
I wouldn't want to play poker with this cat, he could probably play one hell of a good BJ game, if there were any games left with decent rules

Yeah, it does seem that such info would get leaked, too many people involved in the production of the show would have this knowledge, makes me think he's probably still going ?
If he was stopped at 53 games and 4.6 million, I think it would become known
Eventually he will go all in on an early daily doubles, lose and an opponent will outdollar him .
I think this dude is smart enough to parlay his "fame" as Jeopardy James into something even more lucrative in the future, maybe game show host, B-list celebrity,actor, YouTube personality, tout, lifelock endorsor, talk show host, consultant, tutor, something like that, he literally has millions of fans or at least people that know who he is !
This Jeopardy streak is just a beginning, this guy could become a Senator, Governer, even President !
Sounds crazy but if Jesse Ventura can become a Governor, Sonny Bono a Senator, Reagan ( b- movie actor ) Governer and president, Trump ( kind of a crooked failed business man, a president... It seems you no longer need that law degree from Yale, Harvard,etc. To become a high level politician, some celebrity will suffice.
James will be heard from again !

Again what do you expect when you open the thread ? Don't blame me or anyone else that reveal the result before it airs in your market, any thinking man should realise he's going to get the result.
Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode where Jerry tapes a game doesn't want the result known to him, it's like a live game to him, and Kramer ( of course), blows it for him
