So you're actually suggesting a higher variance pool for gamblers.
Hmm...it's an interesting thought. I'm sure there's a market for it, if small.

I don't think i would mine with you but you should start a pool like this , a lot of people would probably go for it.
The closest one I can think of is the p2pool which gives 0.5% bonus to the block finder.
I wish there were a pool which rewarded the block finder with 12.5 BTC (the remaining 12.5+fees would de divided between all miners, just as a normal pool).
The total network hash rate is 120.000 TH, so even with just 1TH you play a game with reasonable odds. Within the next 10,000 blocks (~2 months) you have an 8% chance of winning.
This would also help the network. Individuals would play for the same reason they participate in state lotteries. They are likely to "over-invest" (which they btw do all ready) so that the expected return turns negative. Large investors with data centers would be forced out.
