So you should just invest $1k in BTC. If it outperforms by 100x, you lose 10k but very likely gain much more, otherwise you get $9k.


That would be awesome! Sadly Long Bets makes you donate the winnings to charity to avoid prosecution as an illegal gambling site. Now if you happened to own a charity...


Haha, I wonder if they could use Bitcoin as their prevailing currency and avoid that problem altogether.


Actually, I think the bet may have been worded so that if gold gains 2% and bitcoin gains 200%, the bet is won. This makes it substantially harder to arbitrage.


Better you invest $100 or $5k.
