Betting on B-Spec racing?

I was thinking of it for all but makes a lot of sense to liven up B Spec
What odds are you giving for the course maker being ready before the end of the year?
Seriously, it's not a bad idea - with a few daily limits in place. I could see the drag racers liking it.
I can't see PD implementing though.
I was thinking the same about PD doing it but there are ways so It's not a big thing, I remember one of the Call of Duty games having a wager mini game
Again there are ways of making it more palitable and more part of the game, Pink slip racing is when you gamble your car, if I remember right from the movies

I say a BIG FAT NO. Gambling will bring a bit of controversy for a E rated game. Look at Pokemon.

Basically free money for everyone then?
I back-up my save game, gamble 10,000,000 credits with my mate. I loose, he gets 10,000,000, I restore my game (no worse off), he backs up his, bet's 10,000,000, and looses, I get 10,000,000, and he restores. Rinse and Repeat, double up each time. 100,000,000 within an hour or so.
I can see the attraction, but I'm not sure how it could be implemented without massive exploitation issues.

As spencer7x7 said a big fat NO.

No. Besides all sorts of problems with gambling laws of different territories in which GT is sold, but I ain't too keen on betting my mullah, real or imagined, on an easily-rigged game of chance. Have you ever played modern slot machines in Vegas? They are sooooooo incredibly rigged in such inventive, creative ways that you will be shocked. Not saying this will happen if the feature is included in a GT title, but still.

The Pokemon series had contained an in game casino for over a decade, but increased EU regulation regarding depiction of gambling forced Nintendo of Europe to awkwardly delay and edit the EU version of Pokemon Platinum to prevent the game from being rated dramatically higher than Diamond/Pearl even though it was fundamentally the same game. In essence, any gambling mode or anything like it put into a GT game would force it to be rated all the way from PEGI 3 to PEGI 13 (the US equivalent to T) while remaining E and Cero A in the US and Japan.
Kind of like how you can have a movie that is 90 minutes of wall to wall gunfights and softcore makeout sessions and it will be PG-13 all day long, but if a main character smokes a cigarette for 30 seconds it will immediately be rated R.
