Shocker! Their "withdraw" link isn't working right now. I can't even get out my "returned" bet.

What a bunch of bullshit.

Clearly, this site can't be trusted.  They'll blatantly rig a bet to do a favor for whatever reason.  Only an abject moron or a scammer could possibly call this a draw.

Fuck this site.

I have started a scam accusation thread:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/coinjedi-betsofbitcoin-scammers-declares-push-on-obvious-win-for-bfl-bet-165500

they have already paid out all the bets as a draw.

coinjedi & betsofbitco.in are plain scammers.  He let BFL pressure him into declaring a draw.  LukeJr. played BFL's pawn to ensure this. 

shameful.

As a result of the decision made by betsofbitco.in in this thread, I believe I have no choice but to remove betsofbitco.in from the betwithbtc.com directory.

This was the bet:

We have carefully examined both sides of the argument. First of all, on our site title is definitely part of the agreement. We do not count the current status as BFL "shipping" the products, therefore other bets are still open. On the other hand the conditions in the description are met. Unfortunately the statement description, as it is written, can be interpreted as complementary conditions to shipping for more clear evidence or the definition of shipping. As much as we would like to settle the bet on one side (as we would earn a significant commission) we do not think that the situation is unambiguous under these circumstances which would be very hard to foresee at the time of statement initiation. As we have been doing before, we will continue to call a draw if there is a such an ambiguity. All the bets will be refunded without any commission.

The reason why I'm contesting this is because it was never shipped.

It's quite obvious that steps were taken to ensure a certain side of the bet was won, via a technicality. Anyone in their right mind who understood the spirit of the wording in the bet would have awarded the "will not ship" side.

Unbelievable.  Sad
