Does this give you anthropic superpowers? Suppose that, instead of a die roll, you bought a lottery ticket, and the angels perform the same procedure, matching lottery winners and lottery losers. Did you just increase your chances of having won the lottery from one in several million to one in two? If you did this over and over, could you cheat the lottery?
Angels have the power, you don't. Compare this to a regular raffle where there is an actual human picking a winner from a hat, instead of an angel. If you bribe this person to pick your entry, you increase your odds of winning from 1:n to 100%.
