Daily analysis, Friday, July 4

What better way to celebrate independence than with some fireworks for wagers?

Kay had some impressive Daily Double wagers and made them work. Will she be a force in the closing weeks of the season?

Christi Esterle: 13,600
Kay Thanaporn: 30,200
Sally Sheinberg: 1,600

The Final Jeopardy! category: FICTIONAL LOCALES

Not much here – neither first nor second can be caught with proper wagering.

Basic strategy

Kay can wager up to 3,000.

Christi can wager up to 10,400.

Quick and easy for me – and our players did well, too. I hope you’re having a great weekend!
