Mattea’s slim victory: Canadian former contestants on the science of ‘Jeopardy!’ bets
champ Mattea Roach extended an impressive win streak Thursday with her 18th consecutive triumph.
Roach’s 17th win Wednesday came down to some careful wagering in the final clue about Irish poet William Butler Yeats. “When I watched the show as a kid, it was always that the person in the lead wagered just enough to cover the person in second place plus $1, and the person in second place would bet everything,” notes Dolansky.
“There’s whole chat groups and stuff on online that are dedicated to what people should wager and how they should have wagered.”
