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

Sandra: $
Russ: $
Maggie: $

Four-fifths for first place

Strong form of Shore's Conjecture

Maggie: There's no way you can cover a rational wager by Russ, but if Russ decides for some reason to wager everything, you can eke out a win on a Triple Stumper if you wager no more than $1,000.

Russ: Your score is within 4/5ths of Sandra's, so wager between $1,201 (venusian) and $3,199 (martian), beating Sandra's maximum safe bet of the difference between your scores while still covering against a doubled score on Maggie's part.

Sandra: Wager $7,001 to cover Russ. If you feel like using Shoretegy, try wagering $2,601.
