The Final Wager – Tuesday, October 21, 2014

Jury duty! Scottish royalty! Kids Week! And if we have any time at the end, some wagering.

Alexander! Nice work.

Alexander Persaud: 27,800
Deb Williams: 3,000
Elizabeth Webster: 8,800

A double-lock – no one needs to do anything. In the video, I’ll talk about getting a jury summons, a throwback to my interview with Julia Collins, and much, much more!

Basic strategy – first vs. second

Alexander has it locked up, and can wager up to 10,200.

Basic strategy – second vs. third

Elizabeth can wager up to 2,800 to preserve second.
