Four-fifths (exactly) for first place

Intermediate form of Shore's Conjecture

Diane: You just can't cover a rational wager by Brian, nor can you win on a Triple Stumper. Improve your situation by wagering everything but a few bucks--and then getting Final right!

Brian: Try wagering $1,799, which is as much as you can put up against Philip without being usurped by a doubled score on the part of Diane.

Philip: Wager $3,000, but no more than that: you cannot afford to lose by $1 to a likely wager of $2,000 on the part of Brian. Or, you could try out a Shoretegic bet of $801.
