I think it'll be over 500 million, but that's assuming none of these ASIC companies turn into Avalon/BFL.

Why does this bet close 1 week before end of year?  Wouldn't the smart bet be to wait and see what it looks like 1 week out?

bitbet.us uses weighted bets based on when you bet... you get more bang for your buck the earlier you place your bet
