Ok, technically sports betting probably does violate the rules. But you know what else violates the rules? Half the names on the server. But you don't see any enforcement of that.
The point is, the GMs don't just want to kill everyone's fun, they just want less headaches. When someone's name annoys someone else and they file a petition on it, that's a headache and the GMs might actually act on the name policy. But otherwise you won't see them running around Norath looking to force everyone to change their name.
Similarly here, it doesn't matter if the gambling technically violates the rules or not: if you make a private bet on a private guild forum and the only thing the GMs ever see is a one-time plat transfer between two guildies, nothing's going to happen. The GMs are not going to infiltrate your guild just so they can get on to your guild forum and find out about gambling they need to ban.
Now, if you're stupid enough to lose a bet, and the person you're betting with doesn't pay, so you petition the GMs to complain ... well then *cough* all bets are off.
