If there is enough money on the table, gambles can influence real world events.

Can you guarantee a fair trial when anyone can bet on the outcome, including the judge and the defense?

It has changed the outcome of some sports matches. It could change the outcome of far more important events.

A lot of trials aren’t fair anyway, they are just influenced in a different way that is not accessible if you are not rich and powerful
