Let’s see if we get some better wagers tonight.
Will Seth wager everything from the lead again tonight?
|
Seth Wilson (2x) |
Sala Levin |
Sharren Lee Gibbs |
| 12,800 | 10,800 | 10,400 |
In the extended video, I discuss Sala’s late Daily Double wager in CAPITAL RIVERS. (I would have gone for broke, but her small wager turned out for the best.)

Sharren wagered too much. Sala wagered either too much or too little, depending on your point of view. Seth kinda sorta wagered too much, but once again, it pays off for him.
