I don't think they were taking bets on whether Rusty was gay or not, just that Sharon, knowing him better than Provenza, thought she knew.
Near the end, after Sharon won the bet, she said something like "my daughter, when she was Rusty's age, tried dating the boys from her ballet class. It didn't go so well."
And I agree with you that the whole prostitution thing doesn't necessarily mean he's gay. But one has to assume a gay kid would be more likely to consider that.
