SI.com (Sports Illustrated) writer James Quintong was a contestant on Jeopardy!. The link goes to the first of two stories on his experience; the second part will run Friday (12-16. and I'll link to it in a followup post.
This isn't a plug, but you can ask me about my book.

And something not mentioned in the article, some of the materials given to James were actually hand-me-downs on betting strategies written by our very own Matt O.

One of these days that page is going to worm its way onto the internet, and nobody will believe me when I say I was the original author.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
