I've also been looking into this as well. But I think the bets are going to be even more appealing than the futures, since I don't need to put any money down to make them!

How exactly does one short bitcoin?

The same way you short stock. You borrow a bitcoin, promise to give it back, sell the bitcoin for its current price. At a later time you buy a new bitcoin and give it back. If the price dropped you turn a profit, if the price rose you'll have lost money.
You don't have to "would bet", you can short it on some exchanges and soon you'll be able to short using futures. Bears should put their money where their mouth is. Bulls sure are doing it.
