You deal with the legal landscape the way it is, though.
None of this is the fault of the legal profession. This is just how contracts work. And part of gambling is understanding whether you are going to get paid, as well as considering whether you are betting on or against cheaters. It's not lawyers' fault you can't sue when someone fixes a horse race- it's the basic deal made between the sport of horse racing and the bettor.
Many countries don't have as many lawyers as we do, and yet you can't sue in their court systems for lost wagers either. Saying that we simply pay out on the "OFFICIAL" and that's it, is a good rule for bettors.
