In “Gambling” replace everything after “After a Game has ended, if any Bets were made on it, the following may occur:” with
Each Ended Game has a Bet Status, which is Collected, Pending, Or Historic and by default is Pending. The Bet Status of Pending and Historic games is publicly tracked.
For a Game whose bet Status is Historic, if any Bets were made on it, the following may occur:
*Any Player who made a Bet which named the Player that was the Campione of that Game may, once after the game in question has ended, increase their Pegs by the Juice identified in their Bet.
*Once per finished Game, as a communal action, any Player may reduce the Pegs of all Players who made a Bet which named the Player who was not the Campione of that Game by the Juice identified in their respective Bets.
*Once per finished Game, as a communal action, any Player may increase or reduce (as appropriate) the Pegs of the Bookmaker for that game by x, where x is the number of Bets placed that named the Player who was not the Campione in that game minus the number of Bets that named the Player that was the Campione in that game.For a Game whose bet Status is Pending, then any player or dealer may perform the following atomic action:
*Increase the Pegs for Any Player who made a Bet which named the Player that was the Campione of that Game may by the Juice identified in their respective Bets.
*Reduce the Pegs for Any Player who made a Bet which named the Player who was not the Campione of that Game by the Juice identified in their respective Bets.
*Increase the Pegs of the Bookmaker for that game (if there was one) by x, where x is the number of Bets placed that named the Player who was not the Campione in that game minus the number of Bets that named the Player that was the Campione in that game (note that if x is negative, this will reduce the Bookmaker’s Pegs)
*Make the Bet Status of the game Collected.If the current date is April 4th 2021 or later, any Player or Dealer may set the Bet Status of all Historic Games to Collected, then remove this paragraph as well as the paragraph starting for “For an Historic Game” and the list of actions that immediately follows it from the rules.
Set the Bet Status for all Ended Games to Historic

What is this fixing? Just the thing where a losing bettor can stay quiet and hope that no-one fixes their pegs?
On a quick scan, a couple of issues: “Make the Bet Status of the game Collected” does not, I think, do anything, as it’s not being tracked anywhere what the bet status of games is; and the last para allows for the removal of a paragraph that starts with “For an Historic Game”, which isn’t text that appears to exist in the rule any more (I assume that’s a drafting issue and the text later got changed to ‘For a Game whose bet Status is Historic’, but, like, that’s definitely not a typo that you can just fix I think).
