Title: [IDEA] BTCUSD betting app
Post by: elendir on May 10, 2013, 04:49:14 PM
Quite often I find myself in a passionate discussion with my friends about the future BTCUSD rate, so I was thinking about building a simple website where I can state: in 10 days the rate will be at, let's say, 200. After 10 days, my bet is distributed amongst players with better guess. Would any of you find such service entertaining or is it nonsense?

I know, but the statements there must always end up being true or false, either you win or lose. I'm suggesting a different system, simple example:

Guess the price on June 10:
user A says $100,
user B says $150,
user C says $200.
On June 10, the price is $100. User C wins nothing and his bet is distributed between A and B; user A takes 100% of B's bet.

So it's something between betsofbitcoin and financial positioning. I think it might be fun.

someone needs to make an iphone/ipad casino app that uses btc. i'd buy that for a dollar.  i also suggested that the btc-e trollbox add a roulette wheel.
