He hunts for the Daily Doubles, which are usually in the higher money clues. So by the time he's found both of them, most of the high-money clues are gone, and the other contestants don't have a daily double to make up ground on him.
He still has to answer the questions right.
And, if other people buzz in faster with the right answers on all the other squares, then they'd beat him.

This guy would probably win more often than not even if he played the game "normally". He's using game theory to increase his likelihood of winning even more.

One thing I always wondered about Jeopordy - how to they make absolutely sure that all of the buzzers work at the precise same speed. It seems like a couple hundreds of a second off would make a hell of a lot of difference. I guess there is some sort of protocol that they use to test them.
Oh, and I don't believe Trebec really knows as much as he tries to lead people to believe about the answers with his little asides. (I keep waiting for the Sean Connery character from the old Saturday Night Live skits to come on and knock him down a peg or two).
