User in question: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2663136;sa=showPosts

He is packaging sports tips in a way that suggests he has insider knowledge about the outcomes of the games (which is illegal) and misleading others in order to con others into giving him free money, essentially.

He's saying that he will refund double the bets that lose while demanding that you pay him half of what you win. There is no risk involved for him whatsoever in this venture as he can simply run away (which he has) whenever someone has lost a bet.

Users would be silly to believe he has insider knowledge in the 1st place. If he did, he would never have lost 1 bet and of course he lost multiple. He is just a normal tipster who was guessing match outcomes and yes trying to defraud by claiming fixed.

He did mention send him half your winnings but never really demanded it, he just kept posting more picks. I would just ignore the user.

There are a few members that actually attempted to bet. I don't know how they were so naive to believe in this stuff.

This guy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1972523) in particular seemed to be extremely interested after winning the first bet with the "fixed matches", potentially convincing onlookers along the way as well.

Anyhow, this is just a warning and a request for DT members to tag this guy. This is not a new scam by any means.
