I’m an outlier since I think betting strategy in FJ is a big part of the game. I applaud when someone bets correctly, and cringe when they don’t.
I don’t think you’re an outlier, Otto. Plenty of people think betting strategy is an important component of the game. People who will benefit from studying it should.
I think I’m an outlier because it wouldn’t do me any good to study betting strategy. I would promptly forget it. As far as the players bets on the show goes, however, the bets were placed months ago. Nothing that’s said about their bets can help them now.
I believe it was Ryan (aka Fritz) Holznagel from here in Portland who wrote a guide to J! betting strategy. He won several games and also the ToC, as I recall.
And once again, Kevin lucks out despite not betting enough on FJ.
Figured it had to be TD or P, went with diphtheria.
Knew both missed DDs (the high-altitude one was a toughie); Raging Bull person; Plato’s work; and the Tracy-Hepburn film.
Well, Kevin was fortunate, as his wager would not have covered the second place wager, had Paul also wagered correctly.
I got FJ, because I thought of Balto – that was diphtheria serum, and, when you have a vaccine, you don’t need serum! (And Balto was just before the diphtheria vaccine.) And I thought of DaPT, then DPT. The “aP” is “acellular Pertussis” – instead of the bacterium, it’s just the antigen, which is like the street number, not the actual residence.
Real world, you never want to see a child with pertussis – the whooping cough is so-called because of the whoop that they make. A child coughing themselves to death is horrible.
I got all 3 DD, and, as per usual, about half of the TS.
