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

Crush for first place

Riley: Unfortunately, your score is less than the difference between the scores of the first and second place players, so unless they both blunder, you're competing for second place and have no hopes of first. Wager as much as you desire, but remember, you'll have better chances of advancing to second place if you have a larger sum left over on a Triple Stumper.

Matthew: You have the hope of surpassing Jay if you come up with the correct response. Bet at least $6,001 and as much as $10,000 to force Jay to wager to win while still protecting your second place position from being usurped by Riley.

Jay: Wager $4,401 to cover Matthew, but no more than $15,999 so as not to fall behind Riley's doubled score.
