Does the player gain security by adding the intermediate step of having his money held in a 3rd party account as opposed to wagering directly from his wallet? OBVIOUSLY NOT, SOLVE BY INSPECTION! Once again, surely you can't be so daft as to suggest otherwise.

Did you read what he wrote? He said that he has heard of people sending coins and then finding out later that they did not get the same line they thought they were betting. This cannot happen with a post up shop.

I am not disagreeing with your overall argument.

I agree that this theft is another black eye on the bitcoin gambling industry. I really hope he is just short of BTC right now, but is a man about it and comes back to pay his debt.

It's not clear to me why he would stiff the one largest bettor. Why not stiff all bettors? He sent me 64 BTC on Sunday, and clearly (from this thread) he did not have to do that. The fact he has gone AWOL looks very bad though. I hope he's not a true piece of garbage and that he contacts you with some kind of payment plan.

I posted in your scam accusation thread asking that he be given a scammer tag, just in case he tries to come back here without paying.
