Re: New wagering website
That's tremendous. Very nice work, Sarah.
It all checks out -- If Michael would have wagered $4000 in each his three games thus far...he would be undefeated. Try to deny it! You can't!

Re: New wagering website
This currently stands as my number one Jeopardy wagering website on the internet. I mean, I have a lot of respect for K-Dubs, but the "game theory" approach is just flawed. I mean, why would you want to do things based on some theory, anyway? I mean, think of all the theories that have failed over the years:
big bang theory
germ theory
gravitational theory
I mean, the only theory that has ever done anything useful is Theory Of A Deadman. And the other part of that phrase? GAME. You know what's a game? Game of Thrones. You know what happens in Game of Thrones? Death, and fornication, which are both sins. it's just so obvious. I can't believe I didn't think of this first.

What? This was a parody? Jessica's "By the Numbers" video (http://justwager4000.co/numbers.php) was worthy of Marilyn vos Savant.

The niche field of wagering theory is so lucrative, I knew it was only a matter of time before I had some competition…

It's true, y'all. If I had just wagered $4000, I would have been a Jeopardy champion.

Re: New wagering website
What if you have 3,900? Do you still have to wager $4,000?

Re: New wagering website
I only wish I knew about this website before I had my Jeopardy! appearance. Perhaps this would have given me the edge against my opponents. More importantly, I wouldn't have had to do any pesky math to confirm just how much less than 50% of the leader's money I had.
