For like lockdown and blastnetwork people are able to join the game for spectating and able to bet on the team they want to win.
once they bet they can't take off bet cause if they see there team losing taking off bet is being a baby.
not able to bet while game in play.
this will make guilds popular in the money they win and make money making in a new generation.
Lock-down and blast-network spectating and betting.

Huh?
If you bet completely blind, you might as well be betting on the outcome of a coin flip; you can't make an intelligent bet with zero information. Hard to see the appeal. And it would be very hard to enforce, in any case, what with the possibility of players in the games sending messages to friends placing bets.
If the bets aren't 100% blind, then you'd need a sophisticated system of odds-giving so that the house doesn't end up systematically paying out far more than it takes in. If players are smarter than the system, then this is basically just a way of printing money and distributing it to players who already have large cash savings to bet with, which is an awful idea. But making a smart system for determining odds would presumably be a lot of work; I strongly suspect that work would be better spent on actual content and game improvements.
And that's before we even get into issues of players rigging fights, deliberately losing so a friend can win a large bet and split the proceeds...
I don't see how this could possibly end well.

-1 on Lockdown, +1 on Blast
Thou shall not gamble on matches where the odds are more obvious than the Earth not being flat. Thou knowest not of the severity of lag for certain knights within Blast Network, whilst armor and UVs decideth the outcome of Lockdown matches indeed. An element of chance remaineth within the blasting of coloured powder like straight projectiles.
Everyone places their bets on Magnus.
And wins.
