You guys are obsessed over wagering way too much.
some of you go overboard with it and thats the reason this board can't get many contestants to come here anymore and share their Jeopardy experience with you all cause you are too negative about wagering and the contestants don't want to hear that crap so they don't bother to come here and go elsewhere like reddit which most future contestants go these days so you guys really need to clean up your act if you want contestants to start coming back here.

Re: You guys are obsessed over wagering way too much.
Wow, even though I'm not particularly obsessed with wagering, I do like punctuation, especially that which divides paragraphs into sentences, although, like you, I do occasionally run out of periods, and have to use commas while the periods are on backorder and I'm awaiting delivery, and sometimes that makes for awkward phrasing and grammar, but I've tried to learn to live with it,PanthersFan1 wrote: ↑Sat May 19, 2018 2:31 pm some of you go overboard with it and thats the reason this board can't get many contestants to come here anymore and share their Jeopardy experience with you all cause you are too negative about wagering and the contestants don't want to hear that crap so they don't bother to come here and go elsewhere like reddit which most future contestants go these days so you guys really need to clean up your act if you want contestants to start coming back here.

Re: You guys are obsessed over wagering way too much.
Given that a portion of the show and strategy is based on wagering (there's also a website for it: http://thefinalwager.com), it makes sense to discuss it to some degree. Are you more concerned about the method of discussing the wagering, or just the sheer volume of discussion on wagering? I venture to think it's the former.

He should have bet 2601.

I don't know that it's an obsession. And it's not just over wagering way too much. We also fret when contestants wager way too little.

To be fair, those represent only 17% of his total postings hitherto.

Damn, wish I had read this topic before replying to the OP quoting my post in another thread. Would have known it was a hypocritical, rude troll instead of someone to respond to seriously.

Re: You guys are obsessed over wagering way too much.
So glad you figured out for us THAT is the reason, you really should've posted this in either the "Hey, where'd all the players go" or the "what does reddit have that we don't, making all the players go there instead of here" threads. If you think people around here are too obsessed with wagering, you should see how obsessed we are about players on the show not coming here. Especially the sidebar conversation about when someone signs up for the board they don't necessarily use their real name or show a picture of themselves with Alex, or ever give any indication they were on the show.PanthersFan1 wrote: ↑Sat May 19, 2018 2:31 pm some of you go overboard with it and thats the reason this board can't get many contestants to come here anymore and share their Jeopardy experience with you all cause you are too negative about wagering and the contestants don't want to hear that crap so they don't bother to come here and go elsewhere like reddit which most future contestants go these days so you guys really need to clean up your act if you want contestants to start coming back here.

Yeah, I think anyone following these threads and posting anything on this board is obsessed way too much. I mean, I grabbed my phone to look at recipes for potato salad, and I ended up here.

I'm personally not very interested in wagering but it's a major part of the game so should be fair game for discussion.

Re: You guys are obsessed over wagering way too much.
My objective was to use up a quantity of leftover ranch dressing. I mixed in about 5 ribs' worth of chopped celery, half a sweet onion, 4 hard-boiled eggs and added maybe half a cup of pickle relish. With six pounds of Yukon Gold on hand, I wimped out and only boiled about half of them. As a result, the far-from-optimal end product was oversauced. I shoulda gone all in.triviawayne wrote: ↑Mon May 21, 2018 5:26 amAnd the people there don’t mind if you’re not using Idaho potatoesAnachronism wrote: ↑Mon May 21, 2018 12:02 amWhy is that?

If it weren't for obsessions this board wouldn't exist.
