bet — Event-Structure Dictionary

Hierarchy

Index 2: Agent > Stake > Proposition > Platform. The lexical entry refuses a four-place atom. Bet is 1+3: one Initiator plus Stake, Content, and an optional Platform. Stake is one MeasureP ⟨n, U⟩. Settlement is not entailed. Counterparty is a low Appl or a with/against comitative, not a fifth primitive.

English frames

✓ Suzanne bet 0.2 BTC on Trump beating Hillary on Kalshi.
? Suzanne bet on Trump beating Hillary 0.2 BTC on Kalshi.
* Suzanne bet on Kalshi 0.2 BTC that Trump would beat Hillary.

U is an inner argument of Stake, not a second object of the verb. The entry retires MEASURE(e, 0.2btc) as a blob.
