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

Steve!: $
Dave: $
Sam!: $

Four-fifths for first place

Strong form of Shore's Conjecture

Sam!: There's no way you can cover a rational wager by Dave, but if Dave decides for some reason to wager everything, you can eke out a win on a Triple Stumper if you wager no more than $4,200.

Dave: Your score is within 4/5ths of Steve!'s, so wager between $2,001 (venusian) and $3,399 (martian), beating Steve!'s maximum safe bet of the difference between your scores while still covering against a doubled score on Sam!'s part.

Steve!: Wager $14,801 to cover Dave. If you feel like using Shoretegy, try wagering $2,401.
