Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kim can only recover the amount of her bet, as she was the one who changed her mind about the wager. According to the state statute, any wagers made are considered void and unenforceable. Therefore, Jock's bet cannot be enforced and Iverson cannot keep it. Kim, however, cannot benefit from her own violation of the law, so she cannot recover more than the amount she bet.
