“Even though I'm used to losing bets every day, I am not calm when I sw...” — James Holzhauer Quote

Even though I'm used to losing bets every day, I am not calm when I sweat a game.

I think the best way to quickly describe my personality is that I'm a maximizer rather than a satisficer, i.e. I want to squeeze every drop out of an opportunity rather than settle for 'good enough.'

I hope that my 'Jeopardy' run helps destigmatize sports betting because I have certainly dealt with some stigmas.

I've found that in an adult reference book, if it's not a subject I'm interested in, I just can't get into it. I was thinking, what is the place in the library I can go to to get books tailored to make things interesting for uninterested readers? Boom. The children's section.

I've got like a week and a half left, all bets are off.

The best restraint is old-fashioned market discipline, in which financial traders know that they, personally, will lose a ton of money if they take risky bets that don't pan out.

We've invested in Newark's children, the schools and teachers, and these are long-term bets that need a number of years to really pan out. We've seen and learned how important it is to listen to the community and really get a sense of what they need and want. And it's a long journey.

I think a lot of Hollywood is in retreat right now trying to figure out how to make money and make the safest bets.
