Paste isn’t the sort of person to make a goofy bet. He’s more the ‘tails I win, heads you lose’ kind of gambler. And what sort of maniac makes the lunatic bet himself when there’s a patsy around to send in for you?
Also, Mal thinks the big end of the stick is just for counterbalance. You have earned my admiration if you realized that’s what was going on.
Paste is going to grow up to be an arms merchant. Selling weapons to both sides, and then having them wager on who has to run naked through the barbwire.
That’d be fascinating.

Lowell with power is a scary thing!!
Remember when Hubris needed a bunch of paperwork pronto and Lowell had a preprinted form for a job with all sorts of weird clauses, and Hubris said in return he’d pay him X amount cash to do the paperwork as a counter, then Lowell provided an invoice (mentioned with gold edging, touch of class). We’ve seen what Lowell does in a position…though right now Lowell is golden parachuted and a free agent. That may be worse! Does sound like Paste’s idea though, someone nekkid running through the place. That kid needs a run past the counselors….
