You'll see that the gambler's ability to see someone's exact role can be useless in some cases and a life saver in others. The Gambler can't hold the same strategy for every game. They need to adapt to the people they play with.

Summary: You are an avid risk taker who can place a bet on anything, including people’s lives.

Alignment: Neutral Benign

Backstory:

The Godfather and the Gambler decided to meet that night and discuss night over a simple game of poker. Each had a cigar planted in their mouths, each had an uncomfortable chair to sit, and each had a large sum of money to toss around. Joining them was the Mafioso and the Blackmailer, with the consort sitting near having a chat with the Janitor of the next night’s plans.

They Gambler brought up his boredom with card games and dice, and brought his idea to the Godfather. What if instead of aces and jacks, they bet on bloodshed and chaos? The Godfather listened in, intrigued.

The Gambler took out a bag full of cash. He told the Godfather that he bet 20,000 that the sheriff would be murdered the next day. The Godfather looked at his deck, and saw the money in the middle. He had nothing, not even a pair. He laid his cards down, stood up, and shook on the bet.

NB is supposed to side with everyone, but would the Gambler be more inclined to side with Mafia because Mafia can kill?

it's still an interesting concept, rework could help it
