A natural experiment in "Jeopardy!"

Article Abstract:

The television show "Jeopardy!" is used to experiment and analyze human behavior during uncertainty and the players' ability to select strategic best-responses. Findings show that while majority of the players bet rationally, the rate of failure to choose best-responses rises as betting becomes more complicated. The players' choices are influenced by the frame of the problem.
