You could, but it's a guaranteed loss for you since you only get back half again what you bet.  You'd spend 2X on betting and end up with 1.5X.



Also, for winning, is that 5 points total or 5 points plus 1 for being on the winning team?

Mason takes a moment to think before voicing his own opinion. "Well, you did the most in this last challenge. Also, you have that revolver now and could probably spare a point or two if you had to use that cannon. You're probably our best shot at getting more points, so you have my vote. Heck, you could probably shoot the other guy as soon as the challenge starts. Just saying, it is an option." He reasons out, his comments directed at Larry.

+1 vote for Larry

[Toaster]

Larry just grins in response to that.

[piecewise]

It looks like we have our volunteers! Such enthusiasm! A thrill to see such able athletes compete, is it not?!

The Host taps his cane and a trap door opens near the center of the stage. A strange sort of table and chair contraption raises up out of the hole  and clicks into place. The object itself is solid metal; a combination of two chairs facing each other across a table with what looks like an open metal cuff on either side. The Host leads Larry and Magarth over to the table and has them sit in opposing chairs. He picks up their right hands and carefully fastens them together in an arm wrestling stance.

Today's Head to Head challenge is something we like to call Unarmed Combat! The objective is simple: Arm wrestle your opponent and force their wrist down into this cuff here. He raps one of the cuffs with his cane.  That's all there is to it! He grasps their conjoined hands and carefully levels them, making sure they're in position. 

We'll give you folks a minute to finish your bets, but don't dawdle now, these contestants are eager to begin, I'm sure!

Do I still have that shard of glass I caught? If so, throw it at Larry's wrestling arm.

Ask if we can throw things while they fight.

The Wasted Bastard slowly becomes aware of the person underneath him starting to move, coming out of their OD stupor. He mildly backhands the guy, knocking him out with a dose of... whatever he's covered with. He slowly leans forward, then stands up to lean over the rail and stare down at the contestants. He waves over some staff and asks,

Hey, could I get something for this headache? One of those needles with the purple stuff. I got these... I dunno, is this money? ...I could give you 'money' for the purple stuff. And, uh... take the rest of it and put it on that blue person.

"Hey, buddy, spare a beer?"

Try to get a free beer off one of the other audience members.

"Sure buddy, drinking with company doubles the fun. Cheers mate!
Ernie finishes his beer as he says that.
"Fair warning pal, but you'll have to pay for a round later, them's the rules! Say, I didn't catch your name though. I'm Ernie, pleased ro meet you. And this ol' fool here is Bert." He says while pointing to the man next to him.
