The fact that he's still taking bets shows he is sure he has a way to avoid paying, and maybe even making you pay, so increasing it now seems pretty stupid.
Guys maybe we should let it go. I know man-code requires everyone to pick up dueling pistoles, but this whole situation is so f*ed up that perhaps it's better to let everyone lick their wounds.
Considering just where those wounds are, all but the most flexible will find that anatomically impossible.

when there were 10,000 BTC in the bet everyone was excited and some people even doubted Matthew has that much BTC in case of a loss
Now there are somehow around 31,500BTC in the bet
what has changed ? if it wasnt obvious before its looking pretty certain now that matthew is not alone in this belief and as crazy as it sounds someone else must
also be pumping money into this bet besides matthew
Matthew must have other motives. Anyone certain pirate will pay and trying to make money can just buy passthroughs at <50% and come out further ahead. Now there are somehow around 31,500BTC in the bet

It's not my fault he went full retard in the last day and tripled down on Pirate.

He already went full retard by getting into business with Jonathan Ryan Owens and Bitscalper.
I went into business with Bitscalper? Funny. First I've heard of it. Got any more FUD I can chew on? MOAR!

Guys maybe we should let it go. I know man-code requires everyone to pick up dueling pistoles, but this whole situation is so f*ed up that perhaps it's better to let everyone lick their wounds. I have a feeling the anger that is currently directed at pirate is about to focus on Matthew when he doesn't pay, when all his crime would be is to get a little too full of himself at the bar -sort-of-speak-.
I don't have money in it any which way, so it's not me to decide but I can image for the people who were believing (against all reason) in pirate, this is a pretty big blow.

The moment he started taking big bets he waived this possibility. I wish he didn't do it but that's the way it is.

The accepted terminology is "developmental delay". If you had ever worked with someone having a severe developmental delay, you would perhaps be a little less free with the "retard" label. Unless of course you meant "retard" as in "slowing down" then I would ask for more information as in that case what you have written does not make sense.

If we lose we lose, if we win we win. Its not Sept 9th yet. A lot can happen.
Also, if the situation were looking to be in Matt's favor, I wouldn't expect any sympathy.

Same. I was threatened with the scammer tag not once but twice when made my bets. I knew full well what to expect should I lose and not pay out.
I expect the same should he lose. It's not my fault he went full retard in the last day and tripled down on Pirate. We had an agreement and I expect him to stick to it. I don't care who he is.
I suspect that Matthew's mental condition (due to stress caused by non-stop work, for example) makes him unable to understand the situation correctly. If it's true then all his bets become non-legit. Is there any specialist in psychiatry?
Matthew, stop the bleeding brother. You are doing good things with your money. No need to lose anymore.
Couple possibilities here...
1) He's truly crazy. 100% batshit insane.
2) He has insider information making it an unfair bet.
3) He is actually working WITH pirateat40; ie. Pirate withholding payment until matt can extract as many bets as possible.
4) He has no ability and/or no intention to pay if/when he loses and is willing to risk his reputation to make a point that you all have yet again gambled your BTC on craziness.
Nuances aside, I see no other reasonable explanations for still accepting bets.

I would have voted for number 3 myself but since pirate has promised to pay interest
out to the last hour it doesnt stack up
matthew is not going to be able to collect enough in bets to win so save the BTCST from going under .........i think
number 2 looks tempting also:
FBI land down on friday with the IRS and arrest everyone and declaim the "money laundering ponzi whatever " to be illegal and order all coins back to their investors immediately or everyone goes to jail ...........

I am a fucking PRICK. Matthew is just an annoying smartass and invested far more in the community than most of us ever will be.
Is it REALLY worth the risk of tarnishing HIS (maybe-not-so-good) NAME if this all continues to go down the toilet ?
I can clearly see this was now a joke.
I enjoy Matthew. I LOATHE Trendon Shavers.
