It is actually possible for a weaker participant to win an arm wrestling match. I have accomplished as much. There is a small degree of skill and a large degree of timing, in addition to brute strength.
If the arm wrestling contest is supposed to be a long and nearly inevitable result of the stronger person winning, then it should either be:
(1) no roll here
(2) indefinite number of contests, the first to have a two win lead takes the victory
There is room in the rules for the DM to allow a PC to Take 5, Take 10, Take 15, or Take 20, under some circumstances. So that will tease away Dausuul's case #4.
