I would say that one not only should consider the effort spent in judging
the AP bid, but also the risk taken.
A bid that on a Marginal Defeat risks almost all available AP must
represent something daring.
After all, if he suffers a Minor Defeat, which is not so hard to do, he
would lose double that amount, in this case 80 AP, probably reducing him to
Injured, if not Dying, status.
