Famous Frenchman Nostradamus has become best known today for his famous collections of prophecies. So, in a way, while he was not physically immortal, as he died in 1566, his prophecies certainly have led to his immortality after his death.

    With a projected 53 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 250,000 simulations, our model shows:
    An average of 1.9562 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.0886).
    An average of 3.1826 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.3299).

    An early cutoff took place 7.898% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).

    Andy, where are you. I hope you’re okay.

      looks like some computer glitch and that Tucker has won,m since it says “Tucker to win 4 games 32.32%”so it looks like he won his third game, though on top he is still listed with 2 wins and the total for 2 wins.
      Also hope that you are alright,Andy and that just the internet is acting up. I don’t think you were preempted for sports reasons (NBA and NHL are over). Maybe another VERY important tweet (by Donald Duck, ehhr, Donald Trump) and therefore “braking news”…..?????

    • Andy Saunders | June 13, 2017 at 7:13 pm |

      “Breaking news” caused various headaches this afternoon and I wasn’t able to get all of my stats compiled until now.

      I appreciate your concern, though!

    Can’t find the Jeopardy Live round table discussion from last night.

    Tucker’s not playing what you would call a “shell game”. Here, Tucker had a strong game, but after his next two games, they were pretty low. I’m not sure if Tucker doesn’t see a situation that he’s looking to a possible chance for a spot at the ToC, given the fact he’s won less than $40,000 to this point in his three games. Having to rely on his challengers to be incorrect isn’t always an effective move. In this case, it did, albeit with 2 wrong answers. However, if he moves on tomorrow, he’s gotta change moves. Rob’s got over $80,000 on him in 4 games, and Tucker has half of that. Meaning, he’s got to win another 2 games to get his chances better. An unlikeable scenario for him, but he needs to hope and pray that he gets lucky, like Andrew Haringer did.
