More! More!

Intoxicated with your success, you remain in the stands. At this point in the day, afternoon is drawing on, and they're getting to the gladiators no one's ever heard of (the most famous go when the sun is highest). You consult the list, but you're not familiar with most of them. Oh, well. You've got great instincts, right? You bet impulsively, large sums with decent odds.

It turns out, that's not the best idea.

Odds are just that - odds. You groan as the last gladiator, relieved to be alive, leaves the arena, and bury your head in your hands. You're not sure how much you're out until you reach the betting stands, and then you can hardly believe it. 15 denarii?! You've actually lost money here! That's wiped out your previous winnings!
