This was mentioned on Bitstamp but with a broken link.

What do bears think of these odds?

Edit:  You can't sign up there from an American IP address. Also, I don't see anything about them accepting bitcoin.

Here's how those odds look like to the most of us Smiley


$100 or below: 4/5 ||| -125.00 ||| 1.80
   
$101 to $500: 11/8 ||| +137.50 ||| 2.38
   
Over $500: 5/1 ||| +500.00 ||| 6.00


The middle bet seems like pretty good value imo.

If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?

When this bet was first listed, the odds were 10/1 on BTC being under $100!

I managed to bet £25 before they altered it.

Ahh, the beauty of scamline betting.
