Would you bet on me?

TechCrunch recently reported that Betable, (a site where users can bet on anything), secured three million US dollars in the form of a nice tasty venture capital investment. This is in order to progress its efforts to become a "Twitter for gambling". [link]

Betable is the first place where you can bet with friends, family, colleagues and others on anything that interests you. With thousands of bets to choose from in our betting marketplace and the ability to create your own bets, you'll never run out of exciting things to bet on. What's more, Betable lets you invite your friends and the greater betting community to bet with you so you can share the excitement and have some friendly competition.

So quite aside from teh fact that some heavy investment makes betable one to watch for an IPO it also means that it is likely to be a fun place to play with a spare tenner. So to raise the profile of my campaign to raise US$5,000 towards drinking water I have set up a bet. There is currently GB£15 riding "in the pot" with an 11:4 ratio in favour of my being able to raise the money.

Betable - I can raise $5000 by October?

I have created a campaign on MyCharity:Water to try and raise money for people without clean drinking water. So far I have raised $50 but the target it $5,000 - can I make my target in time?
