It let's you bet on statements made by other people.  It's a lot like the site http://longbets.org/, but for bitcoin.  Here's two I created:

The U.S. unemployment rate will be below 8.0% for September 2012

According to Politifact, Romney will be "Pants on Fire" at least twice as much as Obama

Thanks for the link, looks like a pretty busy prediction market with lots of low-hanging fruit. Could be addictive, I imagine.

Addictive, yes. I have a sunk a bunch of btc into bets and I visit the site periodically to see how my bets are doing. I have started these bets:

Bitcoin block 210,000 will be produced before November 24, 2012	- http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=664
The US debt limit will be raised before midnight 31 Dec 2012	- http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=555

It's way too expensive to bet now. Minimum bet is BTC0.1, about $80.

As a footnote to this thread, Bets of Bitcoin is not updating bets, and there are reports that the site is not functioning when requesting withdrawals.
