Allen and Beth decide to wager,in violation of a state statute,on the out-come of a baseball game.They each deposit money with Cory,who agrees to pay the winner of the bet.Before the game begins,Beth tells Cory that she has changed her mind about the bet.Beth can recover​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Beth can only recover the amount of her bet since she cancelled the bet before the game began. Cory may be able to keep a portion of the money to cover his expenses, but Beth is entitled to receive back what she wagered. However, since the wager is in violation of a state statute, none of the parties may be able to enforce the bet in court.
