“Simple betting is not illegal. It is completely legal for a man to bet if he wishes. However, he may have a hard time getting the amount of bets from dishonest people who will bet and not pay. “The decision in Hyams v. Stuart King (1) addresses the issue of the legality of a new agreement between the parties to a pay-for-pay bet. Two bookmakers had bets in common, which led the defendant to give the applicant a cheque for the amount of the bets withdrawn from him. At the defendant`s request, the cheque was complied with for a certain period of time by the applicant and part of the amount of the cheque was paid by the defendant. . Fraud. With all due respect, I am not able to accept the full meaning of the words used in it. If an agreement submitted to the Court as a compromise was at first sight a betting agreement and. to adopt a decree, to apply this treaty. Similarly, I see no reason why the Court of Justice should not find that this is not a legitimate agreement where a Paris Agreement has been brought to the action as a compromise.
