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

Jackie: $
Trisha: $
Eric: $

Four-fifths for first place

Strong form of Shore's Conjecture

Eric: There's no way you can cover a rational wager by Trisha, but if Trisha decides for some reason to wager everything, you can eke out a win on a Triple Stumper if you wager no more than $2,800.

Trisha: Your score is within 4/5ths of Jackie's, so wager between $2,001 (venusian) and $3,799 (martian), beating Jackie's maximum safe bet of the difference between your scores while still covering against a doubled score on Eric's part.

Jackie: Wager $12,401 to cover Trisha. If you feel like using Shoretegy, try wagering $2,801.
