Integrity is a virtue, not a value.

The values aren't necessarily relevant after I've precommitted to the bet, but they're absolutely relevant to whether I'd precommit to the bet. If murder is one of the options, count me out.

My reason for carrying the deal through is (partially) that it promotes virtue. I do not see any arguments that it cannot be so.
