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

Crush for first place

Markee: Unfortunately, your score is less than the difference between the scores of the first and second place players, so unless they both blunder, you're competing for second place and have no hopes of first. Wager as much as you desire, but remember, you'll have better chances of advancing to second place if you have a larger sum left over on a Triple Stumper.

Gil: You have the hope of surpassing Bob if you come up with the correct response. Bet at least $1,601 to force Bob to wager to win; but if you're intent on holding on to second place, wager no more than $799 to protect your second place position from being usurped by Markee.

Bob: Wager $1,001 to cover Gil, but no more than $2,399 so as not to fall behind Markee's doubled score.
