There is really no reason a player would spend a chip until after they saw
the result of their roll.  An evil aside to this, is that it may actually
help his chances of going bust with a 1d skill.

Ex: player rolls a 1d8 for a TN 5 and gets a 3.  Spends a white chip and
rolls a one!  Stop right there!  He now has gone bust!  Scary.
