Probably because IBM is behind solving jeopardy. Give it the same leeway with poker and it would destroy. As for watson, it holds a huge advantage with buzzing in which is probably the biggest aspect of jeopardy. Developers should have given it a random buzz in time according to jeopardy players of past.

There is a bot playing at bellagio at HU LHE and from all accounts it seems to do well. That is covered in the article though.

Not sure why it said bots should be used in the financial markets. I imagine they already, but I don't know anything about the subject other than minor knowledge of the subject.
