Methodology: https://thejeopardyfan.com/2019/04/jeopardy-predictions-updated-methods.html
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Steven should have limited his Final Jeopardy! bet to no more than $8,800. Any bet between $8,000 and $8,800 here gives Steven the best chance of winning.
- The prediction model is probably going to upset people even further, but Sam is actively trying to find Daily Doubles and is making the most of them. 5/5 is no fluke; I’m OK with the prediction model being northward of 70% for him.
