You demanded the 1 BTC in a rude manner and accused OP of being a scammer which you are continually doing so, therefore OP does not want to and will not pay you the 1BTC as he has the power to do so or not, plus he doesn't even know you, in future be more polite, courtesy can get you far, even if it is 1btc far
you are right, that seems to be the case.
i didn't know that being rude was grounds for non-payment. i guess that's how ethics works on bitcointalk. especially me being rude only AFTER the guy continuously shown that he had no interest in paying the other two parties
of course you had no reason to be rude, he honored your bet from the start.
i told him of his error without being rude, and so did 3 other people also without being rude. what was his response to us? "i'm not paying, go re-read the thread". he was the one who was rude at the start. apparently 4 people telling him that he was wrong didn't matter. we were all making things up. or, he double checked and decided that he wasn't gonna honor his bet. either way, he was rude to us. only then did i make accusations.
edit
He paid everyone else but you, so he's not a scammer, you just have to question why he paid everyone but you
this however must just be a joke.
if one person gets scammed, then the guy is a scammer. he is only reputable if he pays everyone. if a business scams one customer, but all other customers are fine, i guess the business is a-ok in your book? the business is allowed to keep someone's money as long as they pay out the rest? maybe i should start a business here on bitcointalk, given these ethics. i could make a killing
dont know if i'm dreaming or not. this cannot be real life.
. Can we have a raise of hands who is below 12? 
That's one theory anyway. Hopefully it prevents the dumping strategy from being profitable ultimately.
