Wouldn't be any different than a restaurant owner burning his building and then collecting the fire insurance.

There is only one possible DOS attack day left, which is Feb 2, the Superbowl. I have to think that no other day would handle enough volume to make it worthwhile to go after until football starts again. Get your bets in early and don't worry about it.
Hopefully the books will use the 6 months off to find a permanent solution.

Actually a good host provider will step in and do something. The problem is that the hackers can just switch to another IP to dos attack. So the host would have to sit there all day watching and blocking.

Most of the Ip's comes from AT&T and RoadRunner networks, they do nothing about it.
Since those are DDoS, Distribuited Denial of Service Attacks, it's most of a ton of desktop computers infected with a trojan to make them become a Zombie.
Windows, with all the security holes, is the one helping this, all the people should have personal firewalls.
