Don't get me wrong, it's legitimately possible to cheat people as a bookie. But that risks a lot, especially if the people you cheat can make your life hell, or end it. Now, as an Overlord, I would feel obligated to cheat and extort and generally make lives hell if I were doing this as part of my duties, but... eh, it's just for fun. Also, I'm trying to foster solidarity among the people of the Far Shore for the purpose of defeating whoever's at war with it, so that kind of behavior would be counterproductive.
