I'm almost sure he has scammed. And, like that person just shown, you can keep building rawtransactions, then signing them when you get a 7.
Painted the OP red.
Seems a bit early don't you think? He's done successfull deals selling ASICminer coupons, doubt he'd scam like this. Calm it with the negative reputation.
As you wish, but I'm pretty sure he'll get some red as a form of TWC further down the line.
Also, he went offline barely 1 minute before this:
I hope you don't mind, but I build my transaction manually, turns out it began with a 7! I must be lucky today.

What is this sorcery? Are you hacking?
EDIT: Anyways: my 3rd and last transaction has the two confirmations.
Pretty sure he saw your bets...
And finally, when taking into account that he needs to pay 5x on what you both gave him, the total amount scammed comes to just below 0.7 BTC.
*Thank you, and good night.*
