When looking at this bet you have to keep in mind that anybody who thought BFL would deliver more likely gave their money to them rather than to take part in this bet.
So the consensus is actually much higher than 50%, which doesn't mean the majority isn't wrong...

This is me:
03-02-13 04:15 No 39`341 2.02100000 1EiN3 / 1KZvH
And I'm a BFL customer. I was just sure by then that their timeline was too optimistic. Now by the end of March? That's a more interesting bet. Right now I would say yes, around mid-March. If there are issues with the chips then it's anyone's guess though.

Devices must be in scope of +-10% of advertised performance in order to be accepted as valid. What is "performance", Gh/J? Or the devices have to be within +-10% for both Gh/s and power requirements? Either way, 10% isn't a huge margin and people betting in favor of BFL can lose even if the devices exceed specifications. |

Thank you BFL for some month with easy money  I used betsofbitco.in and bitbet.us so far to bet against BFL. As for April: Not so sure. I think BFL will ship their products in late April (well, if their design is not completely borked). But this bet is so ambiguous ("Devices must be in scope of +-10% of advertised performance in order to be accepted as valid.") that it's suicide to place money on "yes". |

I think that bet was my suggestion... I'm sure others did too though. |

Irregularities in the die pics they've recently posted have me considering betting against them and I never bet outside of a poker room.

I just noticed that people lost money - even when betting on the right side! http://bitbet.us/bet/7/bfl-will-deliver-asic-devices-before-march-1st/Have a look:  E.g. this guy placed 50 BTC on "No" (which was correct): 21-02-13 15:50 No 710 50.00000000 146mo 49.93600046 1FRBb But instead of receiving something like 100 (50+50) he did not even make his wager back! Is bitbet.us buggy? |

Bets placed to late and paid back minus a handling fee?

Is bitbet.us buggy? It looks like the bets are really heavily weighted. In other words, the first people to enter their winning bets get a lot more than the last, for the same bet. It does seem rather unfair that the last few winning bets actually lost money. Maybe Milk could tweak the weighting formula in the future to prevent that from happening with relatively even bets like this. |

Absolutely. People who bet way back when should be rewarded because of the extra risk they took. Look at the dates of the ones that lost a little, they are quite close to the resolve date so they had more information to go on. Some people made out like a bandit, BTC510 = yummy
