Might make more sense to say "winnings and losses" rather than "or." You can't choose to match only the winnings.

So for example if there are four players, ABCD, and player A wins the game, players BCD might pay player A a total of 5000 points. If a spectator, E, agreed to place a 外ウマ bet on player A, then BCD would also have to pay him an equivalent 5000 points. If player A lost and had to pay BCD 5000 points, then spectator E would also have to pay BCD 5000 points.

I see we don't have a mahjong sense in our 馬・うま entry. I should try to put something there eventually as well.
