Bookies have implemented this. Betting exchanges have existed for over a decade now, you can lay off your bets to lock in a profit if the odds have moved. Even 'traditional' bookies offer various forms of cashing out a bet.

Could you name some of these exchanges? One problem is that they may not service certain jurisdictions as well.
