I want to asked here.. What could make you stake bet with a motorcycle or any physical properties knowing too well that when lose you can't afford to let go your motorcycle or property.
It is very simple " Addiction" is the only reason someone would risk his motorcycle 🏍️ for betting. A person who is not a gambling addict can not risk his motorbike or valuable property for gambling. Although I have heard of several case scenario where such thing happen,  but have to witnessed it Live.

How could this act be properly prevented, or does it mean that the betting shop should stop accepting people using anything not less than money to stake bet or what?
I don't think If the gambling shop stop accepting physical properties over fiat as a way of reducing addiction, because a gambling addict may go to another betting shop that can accept physical properties or better still sell it and use the fiat for gambling.

I have seen many worse cases where people gambles uncontrollably, I was so much embarrassed seeing people behave this way.
Well you better stop feeling for such people because being emotional can Leed you to always spend unnecessarily while the victim here dont even care if they embarrassed publicly.
