If you have a marginal advantage, then as a rule low bets are better, as the rulebook itself points out.

Wouldn't it be better if the mechanics encouraged this, then? Perhaps if magical preparation worked more this way. (As it certainly seemed to, for Morden!)
One ploy that might work is magic that gives one lots of APs. If you have APs to burn, and your opponent doesn't, then high bids are good (c.f. poker).
Cheers,
Alex.
