He was also on a UK game show called the chase, where he pretty much killed it as well, although some pretty easy questions at times.

Are there prop odds on this guy as to when he will win that night's show or how long he will continue his run?

Very interesting after watching this..

He came close to losing tonight. He had $54,017 and the other guy had $53,999. That is the closest anyone has come to beating him.

When he doesn't find all the Daily Doubles, like last night, he can be vulnerable like everyone else.

Amazing.  Just awesome.  So how long can he go?  There is no limit of appearances?  He just carries on until somebody beats him?

Yep pretty much. A couple things, today is the last day before I think a 2 week teacher tourney. So he may throw this last game so he doesn't have to wait around. I assume these things are filmed a few a day, but I really don't know. He's at like $1.7 million as of last night.


A fun thing to watch is the other players faces. The things you can see is they think or maybe they are smart and then they run into the James buzzsaw and look dumb. Also some start clapping for him and smiling, but by the end they look like they ate a chit sandwich and like they were just sacrificial lambs led to slaughter and some look pissed. Since the shows are often runaways, I have found other things to enjoy.

By the way he's second behind Ken Jennings in wins, I think Jennings went 74 days or matches won. And he's blowing Jennings out of the water in money. If I recall Jennings won 2.5 million over 74 days and James has 1.7 million in like 21.

I think the first night he was on he said he loves the Lightning in the NHL playoffs. Ooops That's I think the only time he's spoken about betting.

Dont trust him. Something about his smile.
