Four-fifths for first place

Strong form of Shore's Conjecture

Jim: There's no way you can cover a rational wager by Bill, but if Bill decides for some reason to wager everything, you can eke out a win on a Triple Stumper if you wager no more than $1,000.

Bill: Try wagering $899, which is as much as you can put up against Anne without being usurped by a doubled score on the part of Jim.

Anne: Wager $4,701 to cover Bill. If you feel like using Shoretegy, try wagering $301.
