Four-fifths for first place

Strong form of Shore's Conjecture

Jayne: There's no way you can cover a rational wager by Marc, but if Marc decides for some reason to wager everything, you can eke out a win on a Triple Stumper if you wager no more than $700.

Marc: Your score is within 4/5ths of Andrew's, so wager between $201 (venusian) and $4,199 (martian), beating Andrew's maximum safe bet of the difference between your scores while still covering against a doubled score on Jayne's part.

Andrew: Wager $5,901 to cover Marc. If you feel like using Shoretegy, try wagering $4,101.
