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

Sherry: $
John: $
Carl: $

Four-fifths for first place

Carl: You ought to try wagering between $1,001 and $2,100. This will top a $0 wager by John while still beating Sherry and John on the Triple Stumper (should Sherry wager to cover John's doubled score and John wager to cover your doubled score).

John: You're faced with a legitimate choice in strategy. You can either choose to cover Carl, hoping that you give the correct response and Sherry doesn't, in which case you'll want to wager $3,101 to cover Carl's doubled score, but no more than $3,300 if you want to top Sherry on a Triple Stumper; or bet up to $999 and win if both Sherry and Carl miss Final.

Sherry: Wager $4,201 to cover John.
