I'd send you $10 by paypal if I win, and expect you to do the same if you lose. If you don't, I'd call you out on these forums. If you wanted to bet more money, I'd use an escrow service. But also, why would I want to bet on sports against a random stranger?

It's a use case I happen to like, doesn't mean it's for everyone. Another way to view it - how large a project would it be to program this? It's basically given to you for free when money is programatic such as in crypto!

I don't think that turning the world into a casino for the minority of people who would enjoy that is a good tradeoff for the rest of us.
