Spots for gambling
Just focusing on the gambling aspect. Tourney's do handicaps to increase the number of players, end of story. Their tourney, they can do what they want.
Gambling is a different story. Nobody should EVER ask for a spot.
The only spot in any gambling match should be if the better player really wants to be in action and can't get anyone to play.
Anyone who approaches a better player to gamble should not expect to negotiate. If you are stepping up to play, GOOD! This should be to challenge yourself and get better, or prove you can beat him.
The only exceptions to this should be if it is a cheap friendly game where it's just to keep it fair. Those 2 players would determine what cheap/friendly means.
Never challenge a better player asking for a spot for big $, then disrespect that better player when they don't agree to your spot. Then go tell your friends that X is afraid to gamble with me, has no heart, etc.
That is all....
