Re: BitBet Scammed me for 10 BTC (properly formatted)

What happened:
BitBet stole 10 BTC from me because my bet arrived after the statement had closed. They hide this ridiculous policy in their FAQ and then try to use it as justification for theft. When I brought this to the attention of the community, BitBet and its associates flooded the thread with insults and half truths.

They have run this con game for months now, and many others have been affected. As detailed in their shareholder reports: in March they stole 23 BTC, and in April they stole almost 26 BTC.

ROFLCOPTER!!!

Apparently I'm a scammer now.

Snackman, I know you haven't liked anything I've said, I wouldn't if I were in your shoes. It hurts to hear, "you fucked up, stupid", but that's the case. Hopefully you will learn to read the manual before sending $9,000 by way of the intertubez. Learning in this fashion, by public humiliation, elicits the emotions you are feeling now. Let me tell you, those are just emotions. The true story is, you fucked up, and now you're butt-hurt because we told you the truth without lube.

Your miserable failings:

1) Sending from BetsofBitcoin
2) Sending a bet in at closing time (what would happen was clear in the FAQ)
3) Sending a bet in at closing time for a bet of which THE OUTCOME WAS KNOWN in order to scrape winnings off legit bettors. <-- this is true scamming the REASON THE POLICY WAS IMPLEMENTED!
4) Sending a bet it at closing time WITHOUT A FEE! (see #1)

This and the logs demonstrate that you don't understand that a transaction must be confirmed before it is accepted in business.
The actions demonstrate you put NO THOUGHT into what you were doing, you just started sending BTC to gambling sites without reading the rules or FAQ.
These final forum threads have proven that you can't even comprehend of your part in all this, much less take responsibility for it.

How can you not take responsibility for these actions?

disclaimer: I have absolutely no money involved in bitbet.us in bets or stock. I most certainly have never been paid by anyone for anything, certainly not forum posts (evidenced by... my forums posts.) I have won bets there in the past, because I read the FAQ.
