If you accuse someone of theft, shouldn't the burden of proof be on you?

Also, if two people make a bet, and one person wins, is that theft?

If one person knows the probable outcome and the other one does not, you can certainly frame it as theft.

You accused people who make transactions that don't create value of theft
