Thanks to tonight’s winner for making this video really easy for me.
Not that I’m happy about it.

Not that it matters, but shouldn’t Rebecca’s minimum be 2201 since Austin’s minimum is 2400 and would be at 8800 if he misses with that wager?
You are right – my calculator was basing that off Austin’s 2,000 wager to cover Rebecca in a two-player game. Not really in the mood to correct it, though…
She should wager 2200 EXACTLY because of what Caleb said and if Austin misses with a 6801 wager to cover a zero which would leave him with 4399 so Rebecca should cap at 2200.
