After James Holzhauer's 21 consecutive wins on Jeopardy!, it's pretty clear the professional sports bettor turned game show sensation has mastered the game. He won north of $80,000 on Thursday's show, making Holzhauer second to only Ken Jennings all time in total earnings and consecutive victories on the show.

We've detailed his risk-taking strategy and talked 1-on-1 with him about his sports betting background, but now it's time for a little fun. How well does Holzhauer know his sports betting trivia?

Our own trivia guru, Stuckey, worked up some questions and we put Jeopardy James to the test. Watch the video at the bottom to see how he did.
