Someone should really write a prediction market using bitcoins—it would be simpler for US-based users to participate.
This now exists at BetsOfBitcoin. I signed up one exactly one month ago.
So far, I’ve won 13 out of 13 bets. Mostly small bets and low yields, but winning is fun.
I warn people against this site. Their adjudication of bets is highly dubious and their customer service just screams “sham”.
I no longer bet at the site.

Could you please explicate your complaint? I’ve had no disputes so far.I found less than a handful of complaints in the announcement thread.
Bets (are supposed to) get rejected if the outcome is not easily decidable.
Except it’s not really a prediction market. You could know the exact probability of an event happening, which is different from the market’s opinion, and still not be able to guarantee profit (on average).
