I guess it was maybe random numbers. between their score and his score (look at that, me saying "his" score).
There's a fair amount of reasoning in wagering...what's their score...if I bet this much and win I will have more...If I wager this and lose I will have less....and so on.
I guess the programmers can only "train" Watson so far. Set up those parameters and then a random number comes from that.
Although Watson can't set those parameters based on his confidence level, like humans can..."I know a lot on this subject, therefore I will wager higher". So it's kind of a shot in the dark.
Interesting to think about.
