I'm curious your thoughts on something. I saw this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=233479.0In which JimCGSavings said
BTC will drop below 99 June 14, below 88 by June 18 and below 50 in less than 2 weeks.
The next poster asks him what he'd like to bet, and he replies that he has no bitcoin to bet and what the 'taker' would suggest he put up.
So, wouldn't it be best just to bet $100 cash against 1btc, considering that if the asker wins, he'll have enough to buy the 1btc, provided the price is lower than the current $100?
If the bettor wins, then he's got his >$50 coin and the taker is only out whatever the price of that coin was. It's like options trading via a message board.
