Nice try, but you forgot the trading fee... Whilst I was being facetious, I was kinda making the point that the original post doesn't actually specify that the trade be BTC/USD. Mtgox deals with other currencies too, right? Yeah, but it's specified on the form. Right. That's where I decided, not to troll like Richy_T

Oops. I have to change my guess. Hold on! It would be nice if the form rejected entries that have already been made

I don't like that changing the bet is not allowed but then again it somehow is when I managed to realize that my bet was taken already. Bets can be made to arbitrary precision so the betting space is not going to be dense, although a 3-digit number is more likely to be a direct hit than a 7-digit number due to the fact that there are still trades done manually. Betting where nobody has bet before makes winning more likely as the 3-digit values in the 18-ish area are bet on densely already, it's more likely to win with 22.3 than with 18.333 as either 18.33 or 18.34 would be 10 times more likely than any 18.3x Sure, betting later yields higher chances of hitting the target so there should be an incentive to pick earlier, too. (Or not as apparently many people bet early. Well …)
If you just invested 10 Ƀ to see where the journey is going, you should provide this incentive more decoupled from above concerns. You want early data? Weight it higher. You want honest guesses? Don't punish people that are off by 1 Satoshi just because the correct guess was already taken. Make an even payout to all within +-5ct. or maybe weight that number with the days before the event that they gave their bet.

It's actually an interesting game as is imo. There is some incentive to pick early since your guess will help keep people out of the range you think is most likely.
