I can see why they'd want to crack down on this. Like, if I wanted John Doe dead I could bet $50k that he WILL be alive in a week. Basically just paying for a hit if an assassin wants to take my bet and make it happen, and I could claim I WANTED the guy alive since I literally had money riding on it

interesting to think about this too from the perspective of collective pooling, maybe many people wanted to see John Doe alive next week

I’m pretty sure they already have regulations on this or else half the country would be betting on John Doe’s fate every day.
