    I’m glad Ken and James both got this although I hope brad can improve his score as the game continues. Betting cautiously is the best strategy in daily doubles rather than betting it all because contestants will lose cash less that way.

    Whenever the first clue gets picked which happens to be the Daily Double, I say this: “Oh, right off the bat!”. Especially when a contestant found two Daily Doubles in Double Jeopardy!.
