RE: [scifinoir2] Re: OT: Brother Terry nears 100K mark in 4 days on Jeopardy
Angela, I've only seen one contestant who had anything approaching a "plan" when it came to betting. (He always bet $42, because he was a rabid HHGTTG fan.) The vast majority usually wing it, unless they know that they have to make a move of a certain amount to get into position to have a chance to get in range.

Why didn't he just wager $3001 so he'd be over $100k already? But either way, he already qualifies for the Jeopardy Hall of Fame ($50k+ winners). --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Martin Baxter wrote: > > > Been rooting for him every night. > > "If all the world's a stage and all the people merely players, who in bloody > hell hired the director?" -- Charles L Grant > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQUxw9aUVik > > > > > To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com > From: asrobin...@... > Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:28:26 + > Subject: [scifinoir2] OT: Brother Terry nears 100K mark in 4 days on Jeopardy > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Don't know if anyone's a Jeopardy fan, but it's nice to see > a brother do well on the show.

LMNAATWO I remember that one all too well. I'd answered it at home correctly and, when Ken dropped that bomb, the mashed potatoes I was eating became wall decor.

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: OT: Brother Terry nears 100K mark in 4 days on Jeopardy
now there's a conversation: is rake not a pleasure-giver at times, is a "hoe" not a pleasure-seeker?
