Guys, this may be the last day! My wife and I are going for her 20-week checkup today (a bit late). They haven't actually said we're getting an ultrasound today, but they haven't said we aren't, either. So if you want to place a bet, best do so now!

Well the payout should be close to double-or-nothing if there are enough bets.  It's be easy to tell if the fix was in.  Unfortunately not until after the event.

Not necessarily.  If too many people bet on one side, I bet new betters would take the other.  So you make your bets early enough that it evens out by people trying to get a "better" deal, then it doesn't look suspicious.

Don't mean to be paranoid, just seen The Sting.

This is way too easy to scam.  Figure out sex.  Have some "anonymous" people bet on the winning side.  Profit.

I'm sure you are probably a reputable guy and all, but something like this where insider knowledge completely crushes the bet is super easy to scam.

i think he asked for ultrasound photos because he'd beable to identify the genitalia without the photo being classified as CP,
And when a baby is First born somepeople have troubles recognizing M/F.
But i think what would be the most appropriate "THIS IS PROOF" document would be a brief snapshot of the "Male/Female" part of the birth certificate

Who asked for ultrasound photos?


/facepalm

Why did i ever think ultrasound?, LoL!

I'm running a parimutuel betting pool on the sex of my baby. Bet as much as you want by sending bitcoins to one of the following addresses:

Then ask away!

what about if it is twins?

do you have gpg web trust?

When we find out the sex, I'll take all the bets and split them up...

My only request is that if possible give us all a day or two warning before you find out the sex...

Like post "We are heading for an ultrasound next Tuesday" for example.

That way everyone can get their final bets in on time.

Do you already have some sort of information on the sex that you're withholding?
Not a thing.

Were you and your wife vertical or horizontal at conception?


omg... he went there...

@doood: My sex life is far too healthy for me to have a definite answer to that question.  Grin

Hm.... that is possible, if the bets are wildly unbalanced. I was assuming they'd be close to even between the two possibilities. If that actually happens, I guess I'll just make up the difference from my cut.

It is our first! And believe me, I'm already expecting it to be a lot of work. (I'll probably still manage to be surprised by it, though)

even winners can be losers with this set up.

example:
mike bets 100btc on girl
john bets 1 btc on boy
steve bets 1 btc on boy
alan bets bets 1 btc on boy

you take 10% of the 103 btc which is 10.3 btc and if its a girl mike "wins" 92.7 btc when he put in 100 btc
