There is no "just talk" when it comes to making a bet. If you confirm that you really mean it - you mean it.
Matthew Wright got a scammer tag for something similar.
With that said, I wouldn't take any bet as a real thing until escrow was achieved. A person should stick to their word though.
He quoted T.Stuart's post indicating that he accepted the "gentleman's agreement" to send the 1BTC without escrow at the cutoff.
At the very least, he should get a scammer tag, as Matthew did. Otherwise where's the consistency?

Though as far as I can tell he's had an extra 24 hours over his originally stated cutoff anyway, so he's quite late paying up
I was one of the people who bet against him , I asked him specifically if he is still taking bets at that moment.
But again , I didn't believe for more than 1 second I would get 1BTC and that was when I was falling asleep.
But since I was sure from the start he didn't have the resources to take the best , I'll personally let him go if he helps with my project:

Is doesn't seem like a smart move to take an unsecured bet with someone that you don't believe will pay. If you lost you would have to pay or be labeled a scammer. He has everything to win and nothing to lose. The most you can hope to do is not lose.
I took the bet for fun.
Sure jump on board. Come on ride the train the Bitcoin short train
Quote for confirmation.
I told myself to quit betting. But this looks just like the safest bet ever.
Of course , that's how betting on Sprinter Sacre looked at Kempton and damn that horse made me lose 300$.
I lost 300$ because this horse pulled up. The odds we're 1/6 when I made the bet , I didn't even once think seriously about the profits (50$) ?
Just to make the race more interesting ,and with the 50$ to reach a round number for withdraw, but unfortunately it turned both ugly and messy and boring. also , iI've bet on him for the last 10 races with the same odds , just because i really like how he runs , not for the 1/8 1/10 odds he has won till now.
Besides , If BTC would have reached 750 , I would have lost far more than 750$.
