Amazing!
Last night on Jeopardy (1/22/2015), going into final jeopardy, the previous night's champion had accumulated $1800 while the two challengers were tied with $7400 a piece. They could not be caught by the champ if both bet nothing and became co-champions. From the title you can guess that they blew it. Both bet everything and both got the final Jeopardy question wrong.
The champ, realizing he had nothing to lose bet $1799 and with the correct question continued as champ. With a small chance of getting the final question wrong the logical strategy would have been for both challengers to swallow their pride and bet $0. Sure they'll be second guessing their decision for a long time.
