Could an alternate coin system be developed to get around this pitfall? Would it still carry the advantages inherent in bitcoin?

Could bitcoin be extended to support such a feature it were possible?

Give it a little time. After being an early adopter, bitcoin has pretty much bored me to death recently but this new idea of DACs, protoshares etc. has me interested again like bitcoin originally did.

DAC stands for distributed autonomous corporation. "Corporation" in this context is a little bit wonky because bitcoin is a DAC. I could see there being both general gambling DACs or specific to poker. It takes a little while to wrap your head around the concept, so I will just give you some reading:
