Should you play it safe with legal goods and make a profit, or risk it all by sneaking in illicit goods?

The sheriff an occupation which existed at the time of the ballads (though the title was High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the Royal Forests, the simple title of Sheriff of Nottingham was a later job title of a less powerful position) but he is never named in the surviving ballads and it is not known if he was based on a historical figure. Richard Malena’s YouTube channel is all about game theory and he mathematically breaks down which options work best for players when they sneak contraband through, when they’re caught with contraband, when they play it safe and never lie, and when they try to bribe the Sheriff. Honestly, a game like that could give a person some serious trust issues, but it also presents a bigger question: is it worth it to bribe the Sheriff? Is it worth the risk to sneak in goods? What about promising the Sheriff goods, but then going back on the deal? Luckily, we have math to give us our answer.
The game becomes a really delicate balance of telling the truth enough times to gain the trust of your fellow players, lying just enough to get ahead, and occasionally attempting to bribe the Sheriff to let your contraband through. With each new turn, regular players have to decide whether they want to try to sneak contraband into the market and the Sheriff must decide if they want to risk inspecting a player’s goods, because in each case the player in the wrong will have to pay a fine. The game is unique because there isn’t one designated Sheriff per game, the role rotates among the players each round.
