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

Linda: $
Bill: $
Joe: $

Four-fifths for first place

Joe: You ought to try wagering between $601 and $2,500. This will top a $0 wager by Bill while still beating Linda and Bill on the Triple Stumper (should Linda wager to cover Bill's doubled score and Bill wager to cover your doubled score).

Bill: You're faced with a legitimate choice in strategy. You can either choose to cover Joe, hoping that you give the correct response and Linda doesn't, in which case you'll want to wager $3,101 to cover Joe's doubled score, but no more than $3,700 if you want to top Linda on a Triple Stumper; or bet up to $599 and win if both Linda and Joe miss Final.

Linda: Wager $4,001 to cover Bill.
