Four-fifths for first place

Weak form of Shore's Conjecture

Cindy: Too bad for you, Cindy, your score is less than Fritz's score minus Andrew's score. Unless they both commit an egregious wagering error, you've no hope of moving into first place. 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.

Andrew: Since you're within 4/5ths of Fritz's score, you should wager between $6,401 (venusian) and $7,000 (martian), beating Fritz's maximum safe bet of the difference between your scores.

Fritz: Wager $10,201 to cover Andrew, but no more than $14,999 so as not to fall behind Cindy's doubled score. If you're a fan of shoretegic wagering, you might risk $8,601.
