No, the correct place for this is BetMoose - you can still create your own bet, but you use a trusted and transparent 3rd party escrow instead of soliciting funds straight from members on the forums.
*Shameless self advertising*
Call it what you will, but part of the inspiration for BetMoose is to prevent scams like this (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/canadianguy-self-admitted-scammer-232145) from happening, while still appealing to those interested. Hopefully, you can 'advertise' with us then as our measly 2-2.5% cut is nothing compared to a community member losing 1 BTC to a thief.
