Starting at the bottom provides no advantage in and of itself. The clue values add up to the same regardless. The important part is getting the daily double because of its value and since DD clues only appear in the bottom row, or sometimes 2nd from bottom, it is often a race to see who can find it first.
But even that has its own strategy. A DD early in a round has way less double up value than late in a round but the longer you leave it, the more you run the risk of letting your opponent beat you to it. Then, even if they don’t bet much, the fact they’ve kept it out of your hands evens up the game tremendously.
