I am trying to register an account and when I go to select my country from the drop down menu, United States isn't listed....

You may have to provide a passport though, that's something I don't have

I could destroy these bets! Does anyone know if it's legal to place bets if you live in the U.S.?

YesWill the iPad 3 have a Retina Display?
Definitely not AMOLED, probably Sharp/LG. Not Samsung.Will the iPad 3 launch with a Samsung-made AMOLED screen?
NoWill the iPad 3 actually be called the iPad 2S?
YesWill the US Market have an iPad 3 LTE version?
No, they'll launch this with iPhone.Will the iPad 3 hardware include an NFC chip?
Maybe.Will the iPad 3 have 128GB of storage?
NoWill the iPad 3 include a Thunderbolt port?
NoWill the iPad 3 include a SD card slot?
NoWill the iPad 3 feature a carbon fiber backplate?
Some of these bets are worded such that, if Skybets were really evil, they could totally scam a bunch of people out of money.
For example:
Will the iPad 3 include an NFC chip? Well that depends on how you define an NFC chip. I could see lots of people betting "no", but Bluetooth 4.0 could be considered by some people as an NFC chip. "Near Field Communication" could mean anything.
Will the iPad 3 feature a carbon fiber backplate? Most would bet no, but what about the black band that goes over the 3G radio? What's that made of? If the new iPad 3G does use carbon fiber for that black band, does that qualify?
And of course, if Apple does 2x resolution but doesn't market it as "Retina" does that count? What if Skybets were evil and they defined "retina" as greater than 300 dpi, and therefore "it's not retina because it's only 276 ppi"? (you know immediately after the iPad 3 announcement there's gonna be lots of haters anyway trying to claim its not retina)
And what if Apple does call the thing iPad 2S instead of iPad 3? What does that do to all the other bets in the list since they're all using the name "iPad 3"? Does that mean Skybets will throw out all the bets that reference the word "iPad 3"? A lawyer could have a field day with this.
Skybets could find themselves in a heap of trouble with people arguing the outcome of these bets based on the wording. Even if Skybets isn't trying to mislead people, there will still be some betters who will claim that they technically won a bet based on the wording.
bacaramac said:Pretty awesome, but I wish you could make more money. I wonder if they are testing the waters and will open up for big winners for the iPhone 5. The sad thing is, the outcome is already known by some which seems against the point of gambling.
Shouldn't the outcome not be known yet or have way of being known? I.e. Horse Racing, etc.
Will it blend?
Can anyone confirm if you really need a passport to register if you're in the US? I'm really wanting to make some money. Thanks in advance!
