Four-fifths for first place

Weak form of Shore's Conjecture

Steve: Too bad for you, Steve, your score is less than Liz's score minus Adam'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.

Adam: Since you're within 4/5ths of Liz's score, you should wager between $1,201 (venusian) and $7,600 (martian), beating Liz's maximum safe bet of the difference between your scores.

Liz: Wager $8,201 to cover Adam, but no more than $8,999 so as not to fall behind Steve's doubled score. If you're a fan of shoretegic wagering, you might risk $7,801.
