Road Runner Posted April 20, 2022 Share #1 Posted April 20, 2022 She plays and wins in such a low-key fashion, it seems hard to believe that if she wins today, she will likely move into 11th or 12th position on the all-time regular Jeopardy winnings list.

Road Runner Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share #14 Posted April 28, 2022 If she wins today, she will probably move into 8th place on the all-time winnings list and must certainly be considered as one of the best players ever. She has had a few close calls, and could have easily lost on those occasions, but she didn't. I doubt that she can pass Amy on the list, but she has had a great run, no matter what happens.

Hopefully, she will eventually find a path that suits her desires as well as her talents and abilities.

It seems - as a player proceeds - that luck decreases as their "buzzer advantage" builds. Luck will eventually get them - a bad day and/or bad luck at the worst time - but the inherent edge given to a returning player shows that this top 10 list will be steadily updated until there is a cluster of Kens/Matts $$$ amounts in those slots. IOW, surprisingly soon, $1M will be the top 10 cutoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
