Final Jeopardy! wagering analysis:
Monday, June 6, 2016

We start off our week with a 3x champ in Kelly Bayles. Will she continue to climb the ToC leaderboard?
Thanks to a number of factors – including a not-quite-large-enough Daily Double wager – her run will end tonight. Stew’s got this one barely locked up.

I was surprised they didn’t ding “Kay’s”, but it seems highly unlikely they’ll overturn it post facto and bring Kelly back for another game.
Had Kelly gone whole hog on that last Daily Double, she’d have 7,200 and a shot in Final…

…which would have meant a fourth victory for her, all other things remaining equal.
