Have you been watching for the last month where "Jeopardy James"
nails all the questions?" He knows everything about everything
and it was not normal. He easily won all month with huge nightly
earnings.
Well last night, he was only one normal night (for him) away from
winning the all time winnings. Should have been the easiest thing
in the world for this guy.
He lost though, right at the brink of a record. He sat there and
didn't answer even the easiest of questions. He let the other two
answer most questions. At the end, final jeopardy question, he
was behind in money but he didn't even bet it all, just a small
portion.
That damn show is fake and rigged. Someone paid him off to lose
and not break the record. My proof of that was first not
answering many questions then in final question, he certainly
would have bet all the money (like 24K or so) but all he bet was
like 1.3K. WTF? That loss was preplanned.
I say, he was commanded to lose. He didn't like that, so he
wagered that silly low wage on the final question just to let
people know that he wasn't allowed to win. He's not that dumb.
That low wage was his protest. Hopefully they paid him well
though.
No more Jeopardy for me. "Fake News!" WTH???

the producers for allowing a professional sports gambler to compete. I
did not understand the objection. Being good at sports betting would not
necessarily make him proficient in other areas.

thought his opponent would not get the answer. He may not have expected
her to bet so much, especially on that category.

conspiracy without them reading your thoughts. I don't think Jeopardy
had any reason to want him off. Au contraire... they love it when they
have a champion who is acing all the questions. It may be costing them
money in prices, but they get more than that value in PR. People flock
to the show to see how long the champ can hang in and, hopefully, become
regular viewers. That puts their ratings up and increased the
advertising revenues. The viewers are the product.

FWIW... I hate the term "fake news". I hear it too many times coming
from the lips of Donald Trump as he is fending off questions about the
things he has been quoted as saying. I just can't fathom the idea of
dismissing something he has said as being fake news when he was the one
who said it.

Markle. He denied saying it, and when faced with the recording of him
saying it he said it was fake news. A few months ago when the NAFTA
talks were going on he talked about how he was not going to make any
concessions at all to our prime minister and would force a deal that
Trudeau would be too embarrassed to sign. He denied saying it, but

outcome already, including himself. I guess there could have been a
bet before taping, but nobody knew he was going to be bet-worthy
back then. He could have gone down in the first one or two rounds.
Any bet beforehand would have just been a token bet between friends
- not bookies. There are no previous stats to judge how Jeopardy
Smart" he is, unlike sports betting where you have stats and know
who's bigger and better (supposedly). No bookie is going to take
significant bets on any of that for anyone.
Imagine if Hollyfield vs Tyson II was being broadcast tomorrow night
for the first time. What odds will you give me that Tyson will be
disqualified in the 11th for a biting the left ear of Holyfield -
1,000,000 to 1? :-).
