Strong form of Shore's Conjecture

Mark: Anticipating that Eric will wager for the tie rather than to cover by $1, and that Amanda will wager everything, you should bet nothing, and you will tie for the win on the Triple Stumper.

Amanda: Risk all $17,200 for the win or tie if you give the correct response (and provided Eric doesn't wager to cover by $1).

Eric: Wager $14,100--wagering any more risks falling behind Mark's wager of $0. If you feel like using Shoretegy, try wagering $1,701.
