(yes its not $150 a barrel, or $5 a gallon, to be on the safe side)
There's a better way to bet with that money. Buy an Oil Future and hold onto it until it hits $150 a barrel, and sell it. Then you will have tripled your money if you were right, and be out far less if it was wrong. Ironically, your buying the Oil future will help to stop price sink and return prices to normal, while you selling at $150 will help to stop price growth and return prices to normal. Funny how the commodities market works, huh?
