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

Steve: $
Ed: $
Jim: $

Four-fifths for first place

Jim: You ought to try wagering between $1,601 and $2,200. This will top a $0 wager by Ed while still beating Steve and Ed on the Triple Stumper (should Steve wager to cover Ed's doubled score and Ed wager to cover your doubled score).

Ed: You're faced with a legitimate choice in strategy. You can either choose to cover Jim, hoping that you give the correct response and Steve doesn't, in which case you'll want to wager $3,801 to cover Jim's doubled score, but no more than $5,800 if you want to top Steve on a Triple Stumper; or bet up to $1,599 and win if both Steve and Jim miss Final.

Steve: Wager $6,401 to cover Ed.
