Once matchmaking is determined, you propose a bet to your opponent, say 1,000 crystals. Your opponent can accept, counter, or decline. It then gets taken out of your stockpiles and put in escrow at the time of the bet (so no welshing). Winner take all.

Let's be honest, CG would rake in a percentage of the bet.
One could say that someone will Capitalize on that opportunity..
I can't see how the system could be manipulated with this since the match-making is done by the game (it could be an issue if you could choose your opponent so people could filter crystals from an alt account to main account). Other than possibly feeding some people's addictions, seems like no downside.

But I just don’t see them opening the door to player-to-player crystal transfers in any form or fashion.
Almost as good as crystal betting.
A decent crystal reward for the winner in a group of 8 would be worth fighting for.
What's decent. 1000 seems legit for me. Maybe make the second tier reward 500. And the last tier 200.
Obviously I'm good with more but realistically, 1000 would be the most you'd get.
Probably would need to be comparable to a few day’s worth of arena awards. I get 100 crystals/day in arena, so I’d expect to compete for something in the 300-500 range. Obviously somebody with a better PvP roster would need to be competing for more than that.
I get 250 to 300 in arena and 400 in fleet arena so 1000 is only a few days worth. And tiering the crystals would make it where those with competitive rosters get the larger amount and those with less competitive rosters get the smaller amounts.
All you'd have to do to make it make business sense is put a 10 crystal cost to place the bet on there. Then it teduces the total crystals in circulation and would result in more people having to buy crystals over all. Obviously the winner wouldn't but the loser would. So on a 1000 crystal bet, the loser loses 1000 crystals. The winner gets 990 crystals and 10 just disappear.
I was thinking betting on individual roundd but you could do a pool for the winner. But tbh the rewards already cover that.
Now seriously, very bad idea. That would make the game adult only.
Those packs are like playing slot machines. This would be more like poker where you make an informed bet.
And everyone knows slots have the worst odds in vegas.
Are you on retainer as their council? Or just afraid to lose?
Addiction should not be laughed at, its destroying families.
I dont like this idea, but I dont like GA either, so whatever.
