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

Two-thirds (exactly) for first place

Ken: You do have some slim hope of taking 1st place, and it's most likely to happen in the event that you're the only one to respond correctly to Final. Wager between $2,601 and $7,799.

Sam: Normally in this scenario you would wager all or nothing, but in this case a $0 wager isn't an optimal option because it doesn't cover Ken's doubled score. Wager all $10,400.

Mike: Wager $5,200 for the tie. Sam has cause to bet either nothing or everything, and you can't afford to lose by $1 to a nothing bet.
