Not sure because I have mine signed in with a tv provider. Don't know if it works without.

It was actually quite strategic. Think about it. Certainly not thrown IMHO.

Before I watched the video, was commenting to the wife and kids about his bottom-up strategy. One of the other things you need to consider is that if he builds an early lead, the others will feel defeated psychologically. Also, by taking out the highest value questions first - if he does build a lead, it makes it harder for opponents to catch up.

Did you watch the clip?
What would you have bet in that situation?

Seems like he made the perfect bet to me.

his bets were always to get him just above anyone else total.  and by him betting so low he knew he cant win if this other contestant is correct.

That's because he's always bet from the top before. This was the perfect bet for the 2nd position.

His bet could only lead to a win if the leader was incorrect.

But what if she wasn't incorrect (which is what happened)?
