Imo, you're focusing on the anecdote, rather than the key question: who decides what is an acceptable reason?
Sorry, but your reasoning is incomplete. They could have bet millions on the negative result for each of the candidates that were listed. You aren't forced to bet on a winner, you can instead bet on everybody to lose.
