Final Jeopardy! wagering analyses – Season 31
For each game in Season 31, I’ll break down the Final Jeopardy! situation and look at how each player can optimize his or her chances of winning.
Here are my analyses from Season 30 and Season 32.
Games in red represent games with “wager-to-tie” scenarios. Numbers next to a player’s name refer to their appearance numbers, e.g., “4-6” means fourth through sixth appearances, with the last probably a loss.

Keith, when you gave the ToC standings, their second or third place consolation money was not included in that count? Do the coordinators use the consolations?
No, consolation money is not figured in.
Thanks, Kelly!
Will you add the dates Kristin Sausville was on, as you have with other 5-time champs? I think we’re past the point of ‘spoiler’ status for her run.
Whoops, thought I had done that a long time ago. Thanks for catching that, Shane.
Please do the same thing with Kerry Greene.
And Alex Jacob.
I believe the February 23rd game is another wager to tie situation since it involves 1st = 2nd + 3rd.
Uhh. You might wanna but Michael Bilow’s ranking 7. It’s the same as Elliot Yates. Right now that is.
Thanks for catching that – fixed
