Independence, MIssouri is my guess
And I was wrong
I thought the clue was exceptionally easy. And Randi should not have bet. With the two leaders tied, and her not having enough to catch either one, the most likely betting by the leaders will be both betting it all, her only hope it that they are both wrong. If one of them does not bet it all, they are likely to bet little enough to guard against her catching them. She hada gimme, and she failed to take advantage. Dummkopf.
