Everyone loved watching the battles in the arena. It was an opportunity not only to enjoy a great show, but also to earn money.
Sure, in order to earn something, one had to make the right bet. For most people, it was difficult to maintain a winning percentage significantly higher than their losses.
Thus, when one of the fighters won, the audience immediately divided into two parts: some rejoiced at the victory of their favorite, while others were disappointed because of the loss and the money they had lost.
Helasa often found herself in this situation. She won many times and lost even more, after which she got drunk. If she had lived in the Citadel instead of Izardo, she would have been one of those who lost their salary on the first day at the casino.
