Yes I understand that in the real world, as opposed to SD's world as viewed from his pedestal, some bookmaking is not licensed or if it is that credit is offered outside of normal lending practices.
The same principle I described applies though. You either believe in the rule of law or you don't. There are obviously two parties involved and it takes two to tango but there can and are still judgements of right and wrong.

If you believe in the rule of law, you accordingly do not bet on credit with illegal bookies and not pay.
Justice and the law are not coextensive; judgments will be made in either instance.
Don Corleone: I understand. You found paradise in America. You had a good trade, you made a good living. The police protected you and there were courts of law. ...
You come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married and you ask me to do murder - for money.
Bonasera: I ask you for justice.
Don Corleone: That is not justice. Your daughter is alive ...
Don Corleone: Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, consider this justice a gift on my daughter's wedding day."
Similarly the administration of justice requires judgment, within or outside the law
"Don Corleone: [to Hagen] Give this job to Clemenza. I want reliable people, people who aren't going to be carried away. I mean, we're not murderers, in spite of what this undertaker thinks.."
