But honestly I think he'd just run with whatever he can get.
That's really too bad, because I like the idea of his thread! If he'd use escrow and really wants to do all that work for $0.39 profit per bet, it could be a fun for some on-forum betting.
Nope i don't trust anyone to escrow, so i will do escrow
It looks like spy100 didn't realize it's not about him trusting the escrow, it's about participants trusting the escrow.
I'll tell you what: I'm willing to be a free escrow (let's limit this to the first 10 bets for now for my sanity), if spy100 can do this with Bitcoin.
Making false claims about escrow (or pretending to be an escrow, whichever way you want to look at it) - type 1 flag, because it creates a false sense of security for potential customers, and shows intent to deceive.
My interpretation from
spy100's "i will hold the funds in escrow" is that he'll keep the funds for the players by himself. I didn't read the word "escrow" as a person, but as the act of holding the funds. Maybe a less confusing way of saying it would have been "I will hold the funds", without "in escrow".
