Paladin Poker

Nine Paladins have gathered for a fighting tournament and your entertainment. The Emperor wishes to use this tournament to find his next Great War General: you! As a War General candidate, you must consistently bet on the Victor Paladin of each fight to prove your strategic ability. The Emperor has given each War General candidate one crossed-out picture of a Paladin that will NOT be victorious. Use your deduction and reasoning skills to find out which Paladin will be the Victor Paladin by closely following your opponent’s moves. At the end of each fight, Victory Points are awarded to bettors who have placed bets on the Victor Paladin.
