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

Sriram: $
Matthew: $
Ellen: $

Four-fifths for first place

Ellen: Think about risking $2,600 or less, thereby beating Sriram on the Triple Stumper (should Sriram wager to cover Matthew's doubled score). If you also want to beat Matthew on the Triple Stumper, should Matthew choose to attempt to cover your doubled score, then wager $200.

Matthew: You're faced with a legitimate choice in strategy. You can either choose to cover Ellen, hoping that you give the correct response and Sriram doesn't, in which case you'll want to wager $4,001 to cover Ellen's doubled score, but no more than $6,400 if you want to top Sriram on a Triple Stumper; or bet up to $3,799 and win if both Sriram and Ellen miss Final.

Sriram: Wager $9,001 to cover Matthew.
