The Freedom to Gamble

That’s the title of my latest blog post at the Tenth Amendment Center’s website. Read about the cronyists and rent-seekers in the professional and collegiate sports leagues, and those who’re attempting to stand up to them here.

    Let’s assume, you and I are on a shoreline where a ship just left port out to sea, and I say to you, “I’ll wager you $100,00.00 that the ship hits a storm or some other peril of the sea and never makes it to New York from London where we stand.” You accept the wager as a binding contract between us. Is such a contract legal? or whether or not it is, should there be a law on wager contracts? In other words, are future contracts and other such type wager-gaming contracts de jure under the Law of Contracts including a fiat currency on a daily wager float ? If not, do you support the wager and not the Law Merchant in allow the gaming-wager contractual principle in commerce and public policy?
