You haven't demonstrated most of these assertions. For example, if everyone gambled against everyone else every second, then that system has a pretty good chance of staying close to equilibrium for a long time, whereas your model indicates that the total utility would be depleted almost immediately. Whereas if everyone was fully insured for absolutely every risk in their life and immediately received a replacement of the exact same value on any loss, then the overall system would just steadily trend to all the money ending at the insurer, which doesn't seem like increased total utility
