I'm not trying to be rude, but this isn't scammer behavior. This is someone simply changing their mind about a business deal. Bad form? Yes. Scammer? No.
I believe a scammer tag would be more appropriate if he would have received some kind of good or service (outside of a minor amount of good will from the community for his promise) and then backed out of the agreement. However, it seems that both parties are no worse off than when they began the agreement, which means "null loss".
Unless you've made commitments yourself that his backing down has interrupted, you have no real grievance.
Welching on a bet is far less brazen than outright defrauding someone for coin. You probably should have used an escrow holder for the bet funds.

How in the fuck are you not banned? holy fucking shit, i just read your trust rating. What the flipping EFF.
I mean.. I have some haters. And there have been a few misunderstandings. But overall, I'm a pretty nice guy.
scum like this will continue to brazenly taunt us until we cull them like they beg to be. want scamming to stop? lets defend ourselves.
Yeah. Rally the e-troops. Sharpen your keyboards. Huzzah!
+1 for the concept of "defending" yourselves. Use escrow. Use escrow. Finally, use escrow. Trust webs do not work. "You sent first" does not work. Verified signatures do not work.
PLEASE use escrow.
