If it comes down to it, better their corpses than my own. Since I'm in this body, and not some other one.

That might be an interesting morality discussion, but would probably be high on heat and not so much on light.

But let me point out that you bet heavily on the crazies winning. To return to your soccer hooligans example, your choice might be between being beaten up in an alley (if you refuse) or landing in jail for aggravated assault (if you agree and join them in persuading other teams' fans with boots and broken bottles).
