Stratton's Dilemma
Wendy: You ought to try wagering between $401 and $6,400. This will top a $0 wager by Nick while still beating Bob and Nick on the Triple Stumper (should Bob wager to cover Nick's doubled score and Nick wager to cover your doubled score).
Nick: You ought to wager to cover Wendy, but since you cannot win on a Triple Stumper if you do so, you ought to choose between wagering $0 or maximizing your winnings with a bet of all $11,400. You are in Stratton's Dilemma, calling for a wager of more than $10,600 (to shut out Wendy) or less than $6,800 (risking the possibility of being passed from behind by Wendy). Go with the smaller bet if you believe a Triple Stumper is more likely than a singleton miss by Bob.
Bob: Wager $9,101 to cover Nick.
