Before you edited the first post you were considering betting on a street race, a criminal act. That's what makes no sense except to someone with serious lack of judgement, i.e., endangering themselves and other innocent people for money on public roads that could've led to jail and forfeiture of the car.

Incidentally, autocross has it's risks. Search here for an owner who rolled his at a sanctioned autocross. He wasn't injured but IIRC took a huge financial hit since almost all standard insurance policies do not cover racing, sanctioned or otherwise.

Anyway, sports betting vs. this isn't an analogy I'd make.
