I don't see how this helps any with the underlying problem. All it does is introduce an additional incentive for another party to manipulate the outcome in order to win money by betting: whoever runs the security guards.

In this scenario, the person running the security guards is the one organizing the market.

Which just means the person organizing the market now has an incentive to manipulate it. Doesn't seem like a good idea.
