Here’s what helped me:

Use Anki. Create multiple decks for each category you want to focus on, and spend hours every day working them. Buy this book immediately and use it to create the decks. That book should be with you wherever you go. Be reading it constantly when you have free time (and are not working Anki). [If I only had more time and had created a US Cities deck from that book, I would’ve certainly known about Leadville and won at least 1 more game, along with ~$15,000 more, so yeah, it’s a good resource.]


Virtually play through tons of past games found on the J archive site. Do this as realistically as possible, ideally with a friend who acts as the host and maybe even someone else who plays another contestant. You should be working with a signaling device for this as well (even if it’s just a clicking pen). Track your Coryat. This will get you very comfortable with the flow of the game, answering and moving on to your next choice, dealing with giving bad answers (it happens).

Practice signaling in response to a stimulus. This site works, but there are other methods too.

Spend some time studying wagering strategies for all the different situations you might find yourself in at FJ. Check out DD heat maps, and formulate a plan of action for your gameplay (though it doesn’t always work quite like you want it to!).

That seems pretty solid.

Okay, this goes against what I said about reading key parts of the KJV, but if you're just wanting to get the characters and stories imprinted in your brain, here's a great resource: The Picture Bible

Yes, it's all the Bible stories in graphic novel format. I read this like crazy when I was a kid.

u/Ohkayrose · 16 pointsr/Jeopardy

Wow, I really did not expect this to be so controversial. As an ardent fan of J! Archive and the Jeopardy fan community I didn't intend anything malicious - and obviously made a mistake in not reaching out to the powers-that-be before hand to get their blessing. (Though I did try and join the forum to talk about this there first, but never received my account confirmation). Also there is no "terms of use" listed on the J! Archive site. Additionally, Multiple other aggregators of J! Archive have existed in various forms (including mobile, scrapers, etc.) for multiple years. Some have even been celebrated on J Archive forums (https://www.jboard.tv/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2718).

So, respectfully, I am still confused as to why this particular app is so "egregiously" endangering the existence of J-Archive.

Regarding the TV viewing, a lot of people don't realize that TV's now have a built in digital antenna, which pick up the major networks. People can watch the major networks or free, or go to Amazon and get a digital antenna to get a stronger signal (something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Digital-Amplified-TV-Antenna/dp/B07JB3WQ6M/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=F8J6S8ZRJODI&keywords=digital+antenna+for+hdtv&qid=1558432767&s=gateway&sprefix=digital+an%2Caps%2C159&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&smid=A2SGU2SF6G0VGV)

I was the same way, and then I bought and read this book, which I highly recommend: https://www.amazon.com/History-English-Monarchy-Boadicea-Elizabeth/dp/8494372122/

It's about 300 pages and takes you up to around 1600 or so, and then you're on your own after that. Might be a bit overkill for Jeopardy -- some of these old monarchs you don't need to know anything at all about, others you basically just need to know their name (eg Ethelred the Unready, Stephen of Blois) or like 1-2 facts (Richard the Lionheart was a crusader, Henry V led the battle of Agincourt and has a Shakespeare play with the famous "Once more unto the breach" line) so if you're purely optimizing for Jeopardy it's easier to just learn those facts. I recommend the book anyway though, it's a good read.

A.J. Jacobs is his name. If anyone's interested the book is called The Know it All it's about Jacobs quest to become the smartest person in the world by reading the entire Encyclopedia Britannica

As CoolVids said, I post the episodes every day in the discussion threads. My uploads are rarely HD tho, just a watchable-quality (and same-day) screen-grab.

Why did your digital-antenna plan go up in smoke? If you're in the city, you should be able to get ABC 7 with a $10 antenna. I bought this crappy $30 PVR to record stuff when I'm away. It has a shitty interface, but it records to a USB stick and the recordings are always flawless HD.

Another option, Youtube TV is an online service that also lets you stream and DVR shows. I really liked it, but it was a bit expensive for me. Only available in select media markets, but I know it includes Chicago.

Something like this:

Digital Converter, Ematic Digital TV Converter Box with Recording, Playback, & Parental Controls [ AT103B ] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IA8M3K4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WEYRCbQ3H6CCM


Edit: It seems to have gone up a bit since I got mine in 2017. Looks like about $35-$40.

u/AndChewBubblegum · 21 pointsr/Jeopardy

Something like this?

My dad built a homemade jeopardy set for competing between 3 people, the circuits needed aren't too complicated. The hardest part is getting it to lock out other players once the first player buzzes in, but even that is pretty simple. Should be a breeze with a raspberry Pi or something similar these days.

u/JDraftWhatup · 2 pointsr/Jeopardy

Its a reference to Bob Harris's classic book about being immersed in Jeopardy-world (https://www.amazon.com/Prisoner-Trebekistan-Jeopardy-Bob-Harris/dp/0307339564). I just meant that he has been living / breathing / thinking and actively preparing for Jeopardy for the better part of the past couple years, between his original prep / taping, the ToC, and now getting the call for this tournament (among any other trivia practice activities he'd doing before)

u/TheGlennDavid · 2 pointsr/Jeopardy
  1. Find your closest broadcast tower.
  2. Buy the appropriate distance antenna
  3. Watch TV for free.
u/Bohnanza · 2 pointsr/Jeopardy

We usually use a call bell when we play, but this only works if it is in equal reach of all players. It seems you were playing teams, so maybe it wouldn't work?

Here is the updated one with the Lakers number. I bought mine about 2 years ago and can't seem to find that one anymore. It may be out there somewhere though!

Edit: Just found it! Here it is

u/Donna_Freaking_Noble · 19 pointsr/Jeopardy

I practiced the "cross your hands in front of you, hanging down" strategy from the one guy who wrote the book. But a few questions into the actual game I gave up on it. Hands hanging down was harder to deal with than it had been in practice.

ETA: the book I was thinking of was Secrets of the Buzzer by Fritz Holznagel: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014OI84CE/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_nPa3DbWPYNVFA

u/mjdolce · 2 pointsr/Jeopardy

This is the one I'm aware of (I grew up in Charleston, so it was a big deal when it was published). Might not be the one you're thinking of, but thought I'd give it a shot.
