Did you make a bet with matthew?  Did you give him credibility at that time of that bet.  If so that I would have to question your judgement.  If not why are you defending those who did.
I made a bet with matthew. I gave him credibility because:
  • He was a staff member
  • He was well-known and a long-standing member of the community
  • He was editor in-chief of Bitcoin Magazine
  • He had not yet passed his 10K goal when I made the bet

He lost credibility (for me) when:
  • He continued accepting bets beyond the 10K goal
  • He continued accepting bets when it was clear pirate was running
  • He continued accepting bets outside of the original thread

Question away.

I've seen his youtube channel.  He never had any credibility with me.
I saw him dancing with horse masks. Still, putting Bitcoin Magazine in B&N gave him some credibility in my eyes. Did you really think his youtube channel outweighed those first 4 bullet-points?



Same. I thought the chances of him paying out were very slim after the 10k, but still better than zero. I incresed my original bet at the last minute, why not?
Right, why not? I thought the chances of him paying were higher than those of pirate. (I still do, by the way. 0.000001 > 0.0000001)

The ones i've seen are incredibly boring and amateur.  Obvious starved for attention.  Which he is getting plenty of here.  So why he may not have any credibility he is obviously crazy like a fox. 
By the way, what's with your obsession with short consonant groups? It's really comical, the "BCB VIP CTG PT STG" thing.
