With a system like this, he managed to get less than 115 bitcoins in total. Surely not the best scammer in the world, if one.

115 BTC are about 1350 USD. That's about 5 times the minimum wage in my country for a month, taking in consideration to convert dollars to bolivares a bit below black market rate.
So, if he isn't the best scammer, he could easily live for a month or more with that.
92 confirmations so far, and no payback:

This was after a few transactions that paid back after fewer than 40 confirmations. Still hoping this will be resolved satisfactorily. Hope this doesn't turn out to have been a scam.

If the software has crashed or is not running, then no transactions are going to go through. This is an all-or-nothing gamble here

Hopefully he's just having problems buying bit coins due to the jump in price this weekend.

Maybe he jut has problems
That was my first thought: we are Sunday, OP may have a life too, and it's not like the scam would be worth it. The idea behind automatic short-term investment through regular sends is an interesting one. If OP is a scammer, then he should wait much longer to gain much more BTC from it
However, I would understand it if it was difficult to pay the announced 199 and 19.9 prices from the 199k game. But declaring a mistake and a default there is different from not returning investments. In this case, a private settlement with the bet winner to pay the prize when profits are high enough could be attempted.
well, I made about 0.3 BTC from it, so ha! Scammed the scammer 
Though it's pretty small time for a scam in my opinion. Maybe he jut has problems/gave up on it.

Yeah, remember trust no one. He got away with a pretty crappy haul from the looks of it too.
lol what did everyone expect?. This seemed like he was slowly building trust to then gtfo with everybody's money.
Agreed, I had one sent in around that time and its up to 83 confirmations. So scam accusations coming up!
I stopped sending to this when he announced his 199k block competitions, they seemed like a very good get out... I really hope I'm wrong though, it would be nice for something not to be scam for once! But I can't imagine him fronting about 170BTC to top up that jackpot.
I'm sure there's an explanation, and no reason to panic, but it seems the last payout was https://blockchain.info/tx-index/24105335/ec51778cfc1e37097a05c28828b8e7e5ec9a9ca118779e7cd87086db7bc2764b in block 198957, and there are "deposits" waiting over 60 confirmations & not yet "returned".
I would suggest not "playing" this game until the situation becomes clear.

Only up to 2 digit hits only so far.
Can you give an update on the winnings that your service has paid? Have you had any 4 digit matches? 3 digit ones?
Note that you can do that analysis yourself by looking at the service address in the blockchain.

How does this service sustain itself? Logic dictates that it cannot. You always pay out more than you receive, where is that money coming from? I can't imagine the HungerCoins Lottery to be that profitable

Amount received: 3,347.57 BTC
Amount paid: 3,359.32 BTC
Number of bets paid: 973
These figures does not include the old receiving address.

It would be interesting to plot the amount lent against the number of confirmations required. Having to wait for 6+ hours makes it much less exciting than it was at the beginning.
The beginning configuration was never a sustainable setting. That was very attractive though. It must be balanced for it to self sustain.
