There is no downside for the player, so draw those cards!But characters are not aware that they are avatars who only exist to please their controlling masters in another reality! Every creature believes that it exists, and wants to live; to pursue and achieve life, liberty and happiness. No way would any non-desperate person choose to flip a coin, 'heads you die, tails you get money'.And the 'getting a peasant to draw for you' idea? "Hey, peasant! Draw four cards from this deck for me! Each card either makes you rich (and you give me half) or kills you. ....Hey...where are you running off to...?"</blockquote>
