Actually, if the options are mutually exclusive and bets on the losing option get voided, there's no reason to forbid you from betting on both options with the same money, is there? Only one bet will stand.
For that matter, anyone could safely lend you X, where X is what you already bet on A, for the purpose of betting on B. One way or another you'll get X back in voided bet money, so you're a perfectly safe borrower.

It's not entirely clear to me how you make this work if your investment in A and B is with mirrored funds. If there's a way to make it work, it certainly seems like a step in the right direction.
