Why do jeopardy players wager so much money in the last question when they leave their answers blank?

Even when they're unsure of the answer or just leave it blank "ie. What is...?". Why doesnt the winning person just wager nothing and win the game? assuming one is leading at 20,000, the others 18,000 and the first one wagered all her money and left the answer blank, whereas the other one didnt know the answer and didnt wager anything (which seems like the logical thing to do)!

someone explain this to me pleaseWhy do jeopardy players wager so much money in the last question when they leave their answers blank?
they have to write down their wager before the answer is read out to them, if they mark down their entire balance and dont have the slightest clue as to the proper question they are screwed lolWhy do jeopardy players wager so much money in the last question when they leave their answers blank?
On the final Jeopardy question, the players place their bets only on the topic of the category, and don't know the question until after they have bet. Sometimes a player will not bet any $$; they are just guessing that the players in 2nd and 3rd place will bet more than themWhy do jeopardy players wager so much money in the last question when they leave their answers blank?
And they can't jsut wager nothing because they don't know whether the other people will wager and get it right.
