Link: Bitcoin to surpass Berkshire as an investment

"Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A) recently traded above $185000 per share.

The retrospective 30-day average USD price per Bitcoin was 591.97451730 BTC according to Bitstamp and 581.75152994 BTC according to BTC-e which on a volume basis average to 588.052722483 USD per BTC.

This bet resolves as No if the NYSE:BRK-A share trades at all points during normal trading hours on March 16th, 2015 over the USD value of 314.59764223 Bitcoin, calculated by taking the 30-day price average of the top two Bitcoin exchanges active on March 13th ( excluding known scams bucket shops and any other fictitious entities ) and averaging them on a volume basis for the past 30 days.

Either the bet was poorly worded (too many loose ends), unfunded, or the site operator chose not to post it for some other reason I can't explain.

Also, it takes a few days to be posted if accepted, as everything on the site is manual to prevent security holes.

BFL will stop giving refunds on Bitforce SC ASIC pre-orders before July 2013

"So far, BFL has said that all pre-order sales on Bitforce SC ASIC products are final. However, so far they have also apparently given a refund freely to any customer who requested one. Bet is true if on July 1 2013 at 00:00 GMT 5 or more bitcointalk.org forum members have one week or older posts saying that they have requested a refund, and have not received one for 2 weeks or more (prior to posting), and are still waiting, and BFL fails to show proof to the contrary. Bet is also true if on July 1 2013 at 00:00 GMT, 5 or more bitcointalk forum members have posted saying that BFL flat out denied their refund request, and BFL fails to show proof to the contrary. Bet is also true if before July 1 2013 at 00:00 GMT, BFL issues a statement that no more of the sort of refunds mentioned in the first paragraph will be given. BFL paying BTC refunds at the then-current fiat exchange rate does not make the bet true."

Bias and motivation:  

I win bets there and make BTC.  I like it so much I even own some shares of the company (had to re-appropriate funds for other ventures).  Also, I'll be using reflinks and hopefully you'll use them so my time is well spent updating this list.  Now that's out of the way, what are some of the more interesting bets?

-------------------------------

BTC at $200 USD before end of April?!  

LTC will move to .1 BTC by May 1st

Bitfinex insolvent by end of April

Bitcoin price to rise above $500 by the end of 2013

A third competitor company to BFL and Avalon will enter & deliver to the ASIC mining market in 2013

S.DICE Profit to increase in April

Bitcoin price to rise above $1000

Litecoin will top 5$ in 2013

BTC/USD Exchange Rate to top $100.00 at 23:59 May 31st 2013

-------------------------------

Some Tips and Tricks:

1.  Early bets get heavier 'weight', meaning more of the winnings go to you than later bets.
2.  Make sure the return BTC address can receive BTC..  Avoid MtGox, use a hot wallet with not too much BTC in it.
3.  Hedge your bets -- if you're betting on the price of BTC, maybe buy some puts or calls in the opposite direction on CoinBr
4.  Never bet more than you are willing to lose.
5.  Don't bet on closed or very nearly closing bets -->  your BTC will be considered a donation if not in before closing time.
6.  Have fun and make BTC!   Grin
