lol @ manipulation.

welcome to the market boys & girls.

thanks! 

Betfair (sports bet exchange) can handle more transactions per second than the NYSE. They invented a technology called Flywheel which, apparently, allows them to do it with only 2 x $50,000 servers.

They wouldnt touch bitcoin with a bargepole, but if someone could hire their programmers, or license their technology things would be much improved.

50,000 transactions per second.

not with those kind of bets you won't. I joined this forum just to try and get a slice of your bet but I was newbie restricted. your bet is a scaled down version of betting money on the world to end. if you win its immaterial. in this example if you win your bet you won 1.5 units of something losing value and if you lose the bet its 1.5 units of the same thing appreciating in value. The more "right" you are the less your bet is worth. how do you ever want to be on the other end of that?

I'm trying to add more soccer bets to http://bitbet.us/ to amuse myself and try and get a bit of action going.

Anyone else interested in soccer bets?

(please move to gambling area if needed)

Hello, name is cul. Used to work for a betting exchange in london. interested in bitcoin gambling.

Ive also seen a prop bet in the gambling section I want a piece of badly:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=173774

I hoping this tip will get me the entry. If the bet loses you owe 1.5B of a currency with a recent history of trading below 57USD. if the bet wins you win 1.5B of a currency with a recent history of trading over 57USD.

Its a no brainer imo.
