Which one of the following is not an essential feature of a wagering agreement ?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

A wager concerns opposing chances of gain and loss on an uncertain event. A genuine insurance contract protects an existing insurable interest, so an insurable contract is not a required feature of a wagering agreement. The uncertainty shared by both arrangements does not make insurance itself a wager.
