Gambling in any capacity on a game(s) outcome is illegal regardless of if money is involved. Rule 21 nowhere states only monetary gambling is illegal ALL gambling is illegal. So all those stupid bets between players ESPN loves to talk about are technically illegal but we don't care. The often funny bets team owners in the World Series makes that ESPN brings up at least once a game. Illegal. If you want to get even more technical every time a player visits sick kids in a hospital and makes a bet on his game performance with a sick 8 year old ILLEGAL.

Now is monetary betting more serious then bet a case of beer and a nice Cuban between club owners or betting a kid you can hit hit a home run yes but in the eyes of the rules there isn't any difference. Only in the eyes of the public.
