How sure are you that they only talked about this in the bank thread? Are you sure they didn't talk about this privately before the bet was posted?
I think regardless of the verbage, if a player is forced to hold out or trade when they would normally not take those actions, it's wrong. Just like tampering has an outside force effecting a player's actions, so did this bet.
A banker was handling user bets because it was about betting money. I don't think he was equipped to make a decision about this kind of bet.
The HO should have stopped this earlier but really, that doesn't matter. The outcome would have been the same.
