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.

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.

wow i would definitely take 5/1 on those odds but im not about to let my liquid assets be trapped up for a whole year.

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.
