Except that's not the gamble. Imagine a game of rock-paper-scissors with extreme stakes. Bets can be placed on whatever either player is going to throw and everyone can see the bets. Then, before this one player goes, there's always a massive amounts of bets for whatever they're about to throw. Without fail. Now, everyone knows there's obvious rigging going on, but the actual game is still being played. The player who keeps giving out info on what they're going to throw is going to start losing, and hard, since it's so obvious what's about to happen.

That's the gamble that they're taking, that the info would be too hard to disseminate in order to predict their next move. It's utter idiocy. Especially when this idiots are making it so fucking obvious what they're doing.
