Four-fifths for first place

Nancy: You ought to try wagering between $1,001 and $1,800. This will top a $0 wager by Dave while still beating Sherman and Dave on the Triple Stumper (should Sherman wager to cover Dave's doubled score and Dave wager to cover your doubled score).

Dave: You're faced with a legitimate choice in strategy. You can either choose to cover Nancy, hoping that you give the correct response and Sherman doesn't, in which case you'll want to wager $2,801 to cover Nancy's doubled score, but no more than $3,000 if you want to top Sherman on a Triple Stumper; or bet up to $999 and win if both Sherman and Nancy miss Final.

Sherman: Wager $3,901 to cover Dave.
