Well, eventually.  I'm only holding enough back for two consecutive
losses; if I fall twice, I'll scrap something and visit a Black
Arena for either some additional funding or a quick retirement.  The
more experienced a gladiator gets, the more of a reserve you'll want
to keep, of course.  I'd rather wind up 30-14 and enter the next
ring than be 29-7 and flat broke.

Of course, contradicting Scott's advice may be an even quicker route
to "retirement" for the Flying Circus's trio...

As far as "going broke", if you're down to your last 50 gold coins,
you might as well hit a Death Arena.  If you win, you have enough
of a bankroll to afford a couple of losses.  If you lose, well, glue
is an important component of modern civilization...
