I wonder if this bettor has inside information. That's a lot of money to put on the line without some sort of information to back it up.

Considering that there are still 14561.94104029 BTC on source address, 250btc is a small number for this person.

Edit:
I thought maybe it could be a shared web wallet, mtgox type, but I would say no.

This is the MPEx Exchange address (1Fx3N5iFPDQxUKhhmDJqCMmi3U8Y7gSncx). So is this betting with customers exchange funds, or the bookkeeper betting against his own customers (Mircea Popescu partially owns BitBet)?
