Re: Gambling
I would tend to believe that deceitful betting practices were probably rather rampant back in those days. Hell, they had fighting matches to the death. This tells me that a gladiator manager might be the type of person to bet against his own man and then make sure the odds were staked against him. Holding back potions or putting in a lesser fighter would certainly be the types of behavior that you might expect from these particular businessmen.
