Final Jeopardy! wagering analysis:
Thursday, September 29, 2016
[php snippet=76]
Seth Wilson took advantage of his new lease on life on Wednesday… will he make it nine on Thursday?
Looking good once again, but both of his opponents are still in contention.

Seth Wilson (8x) |
Damien Shirley |
Anne Campbell |
| 14,100 | 5,500 | 9,000 |
Another night off for me, basically.
Combined analysis
Seth could cap his wager at 3,099 to keep Damien out of it, but he’d risk Anne passing him, which is why I propose the 8,200 bare minimum for her. (Really, though, both she and Damien should go all in.)
| Seth |
Damien |
Anne | |||
| 14,100 | 5,500 | 9,000 | |||
| FIRST-ORDER | SECOND-ORDER | COVER ZERO | |||
| min | max | min | max | min | max |
| 3,900 | 5,100 | 4,700* | 8,200* | ||
| 3,100 | |||||
Then we add a dollar to the minimum wagers, and subtract a dollar from the maximum wagers.
What actually happened
| Seth | Damien | Anne | |||
| 14,100 | 5,500 | 9,000 | |||
| 4,000 | 5,499 | 3,499 | |||
| 18,100 | 1 | 12,499 | |||
| min | max | ||||
| 3,901 | 5,099 | 4,701* | 8,201* | ||
| 3,099 | |||||
That’s $209,801, and a chance to become the sixth player to hit double-digit wins. (Not the fifth – sorry, Matt Jackson!)
