> no profit for the organizer

You’ve ruled out not just all gambling but all business. The examples the parent comment above you gave are all profit generating for the organizer.

Insurance in particular seems to be a clear societal win and is in fact gambling. You make a (relatively) small wager that pays out nothing if you don’t need it or potentially huge if you do.
