If you use the bet quoted above about the "Mt.Gox high price of the day", the person who bet for it to go above $12 can always just place all the bets and then at 10pm PST place a buy order for $12 and win even if the average price was $5. In the future you guys should use the weighted price.
tl;dr I am willing to bet at least 50BTC in escrow that Mt. Gox high price of the day will hit $15 within 9 hours! *Edit: Turns out this is completely false.

"1 Bitcoin will be worth more than $12 on August 27th, 2012 Daily "High" value of 1 Bitcoin reported by MtGox will be above $12 on August 27th." So 12+ can be reached for the daily high and it can close below 12 for a win. Futhermore the "Daily High" is to be calculated by MtGox which uses UTC, whereas the betsofbitcoin statement utilizes EST. This is unfair because it creates a "day" that is longer than 24 hours. http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=586 Title: Re: The price of bitcoin will be >$12 on August 27th, 11pm PST Post by: jwzguy on August 27, 2012, 07:17:28 PM 12$ was hit already, on 8-27 EST.

Title: Re: The price of bitcoin will be >$12 on August 27th, 11pm PST Post by: Yuhfhrh on August 27, 2012, 07:18:08 PM The betsofbitco.in statment is sneakily/badly worded. "1 Bitcoin will be worth more than $12 on August 27th, 2012 Daily "High" value of 1 Bitcoin reported by MtGox will be above $12 on August 27th." So 12+ can be reached for the daily high and it can close below 12 for a win. Futhermore the "Daily High" is to be calculated by MtGox which uses UTC, whereas the betsofbitcoin statement utilizes EST. This is unfair because it creates a "day" that is longer than 24 hours. http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=586 I submitted the bet stating at least 1 bitcoin would be traded on mt gox above 12 dollars by aug 27, 11pm PST, but betsofbitcoin reworded it to make it sound better.

Well a lot can happen in just a few hours, just a couple weeks ago: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/34538839/7.jpg Title: Re: The price of bitcoin will be >$12 on August 27th, 11pm PST Post by: dooglus on August 27, 2012, 08:59:07 PM Total agree bets: 3.40 Total disagree bets: 13.26 Total weighted agree bets: 165.052 Total weighted disagree bets: 305.807 Your bets on this item Agree for 1.10 (Weighted: 82.865) I'm not really sure what this means. How much will I make? You have 82.865 of the total 165.052 weighted agree bets - that's 50.2% >>> 82.865 / 165.052 0.5020538981654267 So you get 50.2% of the pot after the fees get taken out. I can't access the site at the moment to check, but from memory the site gets 10% and the bet creator gets 10%, so I think you win 50.2% of 80% of 13.26 BTC, i.e. 5.32 BTC. >>> 13.26 * 0.80 * 0.502 5.325216 (I get this error): Quote This web page is not available The server at betsofbitco.in can't be found because the DNS look-up failed Edit: that's not right. I think half the pot is split using the weighted numbers and half using unweighted numbers, and so you get 4.37 BTC. You bet early, but you bet low, so including the unweighted numbers works against you: >>> 13.26 * 0.80 * (82.865 / 165.052 + 1.10 / 3.40) / 2 4.378893875869424 Edit2: The site is down for me too. And the site and creator get 5% each of the losing bets, not 10. Thanks for doing the calculations for us lazy folk OK, so around 5 BTC then: >>> 13.26 * 0.90 * (82.865 / 165.052 + 1.10 / 3.40) / 2 4.926255610353101 Quote from: Yuhfhrh Your bets on this item Agree for 0.90 (Weighted: 76.463) and for Yuhfhrh, you get 4.34 BTC >>> 13.26 * 0.90 * (76.463 / 165.052 + 0.90 / 3.40) / 2 4.343808951118436 Title: Re: The price of bitcoin will be >$12 on August 27th, 11pm PST Post by: Yuhfhrh on August 27, 2012, 09:01:42 PM Quote This web page is not available The server at betsofbitco.in can't be found because the DNS look-up failed The site is down for me too.
