Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Andrew $18,000 Yogesh $12,800 Juveria $11,400)

Yogesh: Hope Juveria goes small; limit your bet to 399. (You're in Stratton's Dilemma, you can't cover Juveria and win the Triple Stumper.)

Juveria: Play for the Triple Stumper and hope Yogesh goes big. Limit your bet to 1,000 or less.

Andrew: Standard cover bet is 7,601. You should do this because Yogesh has possible occasion to go big.
