Enter three post-DJ! Round scores below to see wagering suggestions for each player.

Bob: $
Joel: $
Janet: $

Four-fifths for first place

Janet: You ought to try wagering between $1,101 and $2,000. This will top a $0 wager by Joel while still beating Bob and Joel on the Triple Stumper (should Bob wager to cover Joel's doubled score and Joel wager to cover your doubled score).

Joel: You're faced with a legitimate choice in strategy. You can either choose to cover Janet, hoping that you give the correct response and Bob doesn't, in which case you'll want to wager $3,101 to cover Janet's doubled score, but no more than $4,500 if you want to top Bob on a Triple Stumper; or bet up to $1,099 and win if both Bob and Janet miss Final.

Bob: Wager $4,901 to cover Joel.
