Enter three post-DJ! Round scores below to see wagering suggestions for each player.
Lock-tie for first place; crush for second place
Charles: You have the hope of surpassing Valerie for second place if you come up with the correct response or if your opponent fails to. Bet between $2,701 and $2,999.
Valerie: You don't have any guarantee at second place, but who cares when you've got a shot at tying for first? Wager $5,700.
Jim: Wager $0 to guarantee your return for the next game, or, if you'd rather lose today than face Valerie tomorrow, wager $11,400 to maximize your winnings (or $5,399 to keep from dropping into third place).
