Do you believe Bitcoin will rise while the dollar falls? If so, the price of bitcoin reaching $10,000 by the end of 2016 is not that huge of a leap (1000+% gains on average for the past 4 years means over $10k/BTC by 2015). If you bet just .5 BTC (about $60 at current rates) on this: http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=1532it is like an investment in your future. When the bet is won, you will likely at least double your money since so many people believe it will not reach $10,000. So if you win you will get back at least $10k worth of bitcoins. If you lose, you are out 60 bucks. And the earlier you bet, the larger the cut of the winnings you receive. So betting now will give you more than those that wait. Easy money.

Or you could just buy 0.5 Bitcoints and have $5000 without having to to add additional risk of trusting it to some betting site. Furthermore you are also winning if it just gains a little bit, instead of losing the amount.
Conclusion: If you take this bet, you are just stupid. Q.E.D.

"When the bet is won"? You mean, IF the bet is won. There are very few sure bets in life. Probably around 3 or 4 at the most.

Quoted. Be back in 2017 to see what happened. This is not my prediction of it being $5000, this is just my proof of this bet being stupid: The OP wants to get us into this bet: When the site is still up and the price for BCs is $10.000-> you have $10.000 (aka doubled your bet) When the site is down and the price for BCs is $10.000-> you have $0 (total loss) When Bcs are worth less -> you have $0 (total loss) If you just leave your 0.5 in your pocket: When BCs are worth $10000 -> you have $5000 When BCs are worth $61-$9999 -> you still made a fine win When BCs are worth less -> at least you have still something The bet would double your stakes for a chance of way less than 50% and a long waiting time (years). You are better off playing Sathoshi Dice with that sum than taking the bet. Even playing in a casino would be.

Maybe betsofbitco.in is profitable? and might want to stay in business for as long as possible...

Maybe Bitcoin isn't a land where all profits are secure, all wishes come true and dreams aren't regularly crushed into monstrous nightmares at the worst possible time under the mocking heel of terrible fate.

If it is going up 100x then it would be better to just buy 1BTC as noted above.

This. It's a bad bet. It seems like every week a new poorly conceived bet pops up in the speculation forum. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

I believe the person who makes the bet gets like 5% of all profits, win or lose.
