Bout time I make one of these...if you are a sealswithclubs player or someone on here that has successfully made a sale to me OR used me to escrow, please post your story here. Thanks and much appreciated!

I've never used KingofSports as an escrow, but in my dealings with him he's always been a straight forward good dude.

+1

KingofSports is smooth as silk in trading. I would work with him anytime! KoS is grindabit approved and WoT and all that good stuff. Solid trade. Thanks KoS.

Never traded with him, but he was a man of his word when he gave me a little tip for helping him out.

:)

KingofSports has done numerous escrows on SWC.

I have witnessed and done one with him myself.

Never a hitch. Everyone is happy.

But seems I was only one that left him tip.

Give me my tip back!  ;D

Serious side note. He has a solid reputation on SWC.

Cheers!

Hi, I play with king of sports on seals with clubs a poker siteand he is a very reputable trader very honest and trustworthy. I have seen him sell chips and buy chips on seals without any issues whatsoever

KOS is one of the most reputable people on swc. i have escrowed side bets through him a few times with no issues. he is an asset to the swc community!!!

now if only i could pick his brain for some locks in the sports world:)

** removed / see below **

he told me in seals chat to leave a comment cause he escrowed for me. i believe it to be the same person

If you see me in Seals chat, ask me to give you a link to my reputation thread here on bitcointalk. It will be this same one. I am not an imposter, I am the same "KingofSports" that plays on SealswithClubs. Understand the concern though.

This dude has been here a month and is accusing me of being a scammer. How about you go and post on every person's rep thread saying they could be a scammer since you've never done business with them? All I have EVER tried to do on this site is buy BTC to bet on sports with, it has been a profitable hobby for me. Find someone who says I have scammed them with proof, I'll pay them double back. To be honest I'm quite pissed off. Here is my response to your "claim": I preordered a jalapeno awhile back (still yet to receive it) and listed it on ebay awhile back. I ended the auction early when there were no bids as I realized it would be pointless to sell it there because if it never came I would have to pay the buyer out of pocket. I don't know how it ended up on a russian site, no idea there.

Also I have ALWAYS SAID I am OPEN TO USING ESCROW. If I EVER say I will not use escrow please post it here and I will leave the site permanently.

OK, I deleted my above post, this sounds like a fair explanation (for the jalapeno auction).

Thank you.

hello KOS finnaly figuring out the site here MAWSwC told me about it and been doing my loans here in a thread :)  ;D

also this guy is very trusting on deals and  sports bets with escrowing also :) dude is pretty legit from getting to know him on sealwithclubs :)

---- removed ----

imo KOS is one of most trusted members of swc.

i would trust him with my entire btc balance.

He is the nuts when it comes to escrow, based on my personal experience in dealings with him.

 

Legit buyer. Had no issue with him. 

Bst tranzaction 100% legit traded 34 greendot for ,25bc

Lost 1 chip to him in a Dice battle  :P Gave me 10 to 1 odds tho!

To clarify there was a random number bot and we played 1 to 100, the game was simply higher or lower then previous number, guess correctly 5 times in a row win 10x bet, he lost on 3rd number haha. It was a fun game while it lasted.

Scammer

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=244843.0

This guy is the biggest troll ever. I have never scammed anyone and he is claiming with NO EVIDENCE that I scammed for a mere $60-$75 worth and hes not even the person who got scammed supposedly. Its honest entertaining, just yesterday I bought 4 BTC with a moneypak I did not have yet, and was sent first to by graven29 on sealswithclubs. Hes sent first over 10 BTC to me and always has gotten paid. Well yesterday wasn't any different, sent him a $313 moneypak code within 60 minutes. I continue to be amused by this allegation of his, it truly is funny. To anyone who see his post, I AM ALWAYS OPEN TO USING ESCROW FOR MY DEALS. Haven't ever said otherwise.

I sent KingofSports a $550 moneypak first and then he sent me my promised bitcoins in nearly the blink of an eye. I highly recommend him.

He later sent me a $370 for my btc as well. Both went smoothly, thanks.

Woops, forgot to post here as well. ^ It happened :)

I was gonna do a deal with King, but things fell through. Normally thats it, thats all.. Not for this guy, he went out of his way to find me someone selling the amount I needed got the deal done. He even escrowed free of charge!

Thanks a lot KoS!

I think this guy is building up his rep for the BIG con

Like I said before, 0 evidence. In that thread you will see that I skyped with the user and did screenshare. I did not believe the photos of the person with the amazon code so I asked to skype with them to REPEAT the conversation with the chat agent on Amazon. When they asked the new agent they said the code was redeemed by blazeout419@gmail.com. I truly thought at this point the willingness and cooperation of the person who sent the code was being honest here. Meanwhile the person who sent the BTC wanted me to refund them within 5 mins of it, trying to rush me thru the escrow. This is why I at first sided with the code seller after he cooperated and I skyped with using screenshare. HOWEVER, it became evident that either user could have created the amazon account under the email blazeout419@gmail.com so there was no evidence for either party. Thus, I had no choice but to release the escrowed amount to the person with the higher trust rating/history. I will not be escrowing on here EVER again after this one. This was an escrow for a WHOPPPING 1.3 BTC, like cmon now people.

I have escrows for more then 5 BTC done without ever any trouble totaling well over 20 BTC, all my comments on my username on seals can be seen at sealsdeals.info, the site's WOT. go to Web of Trust and look up "kingofsports". Currently a trust rating of 3967 with over 30+ comments of my buying selling and escrowing on the site are there. I've been sent first as much as 7 or 8 coins, i forget the amount and always have paid as agreed.

Let me post some of the exact comments just to further prove my case here (on seals 1000 chips = 1 BTC):

*WARNING* OP AND DUMMY ACCOUNTS ON THIS THREAD *WARNING*

No I don't? Where is your proof?

--- removed ---

Sent first $175 got coin right after.

Stop shit talking. King of Sports is legit. Did a deal with him and everything went smooth.

Great transaction of nice chunk of money. Super smooth and super fast! Would def do business again.

Thanks!!

Bought 2.867 bitcoins for a $300 MP.  Sent first to KoS and he sent bitcoins as promised.

Smooth BTC1 for Vanilla Reload.

$500 transaction. I went first. It went smoothly as always, I just wish he bought more often.  ;)

Another successful transaction today BTC-E code for moneypak.

Thanks!!!

Escrowed a 9.50 BTC purchase.

See here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=248083.40

Thanks to both parties for making my largest escrow here on bitcointalk a smooth one. Largest so far was 15 BTC on seals.

Just used Kingofsports as a Escrow for 9.5 btc @ 1000$, Very Legit transfer all around, fast and professional. Maui sent me perfect gdmp.  Theres not much to say....except Thanks....i think thats how it should be.  will be back with a better tip!  ;D

Escrowed a 10 BTC transaction. Smooth as can be.

Anyone else find it strange how hard he pushes how "trustworthy" he is?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=244843.0

You don't find anyone else besides this KID state how trustworthy he is in every post he makes.

BEWARE OF KINGOFSPORTS (Ian Marderness) HE IS SETTING UP FOR A BIG CON!

I have addressed this user who's real name is PETER MALES JR. by the way, many times but he continues to troll my posts with his rants. I ignore him and I hope you all will too. Also I am fine with using escrow at any time.

KOS is, as far as ive seen (on bitcointalk & offsite) and in my dealings with has been nothing but legit. Has done me 2 solids now..

King escrow successful 4.17 btc at 395$!!  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=263474.0

Just an aside note, the fact that someone has made a successful transaction with another person doesn't necessarily mean they couldn't be a scammer.  The most successful scammers usually work by building up trust by not scamming most or all for a long period.  So if someone scams you when you have dealings with them they are obviously a scammer, but the reverse is not always the case.

Well I'm not sure if those're trolls or not, and haven't dealt with KOS myself.  I think I've seen him on just-dice, but I will watch this thread it's kind of amusing though.

Have now done two transfers with KingOfSports totaling $1275. Very fast and very professional. Will use again.

great exchange, got $94.07 boa for 1btc, will do future business for sure

First to say, Thanks for doing business!

KingOfSports:
HQ member, positive reputation, helpful, and very trustworthy.

I just bought 8 Bitcoins, less than 15 minutes ago. Transaction went extremely smooth and no problems what so ever. I had gone first in the deal and all still went smooth.

I recommend this member to anyone attempting to buy BTC.
I hope to do more business with you in the future!

I just engaged in a trade with KOS, everything went fine.  I sent first feeling confident in the rep provided.  1k traded smoothly. Thanks

Complete another trade, very smooth.

KingOfSports is a legit guy, straightforward. Recommend. +1

Trusted.

Leaving a late feedback for kos, sold him 3.3 coins, sent first and was paid very quickly.

Currently been AWOL and owes me 2BTC since Thursday.

KoS waken up please.

Did you read the doubts raised in this thread and just ignore them?

;;rate KingOfSports -10 Begged all day for a loan in OTC, dropping all kinds of names then disappeared for 3 weeks after borrowing from OTCer BigBitz. Refuses to pay back his owed 2BTC. Already back to borrowing/betting at SWC's - Told me is SWC chat that he "doesn't owe anybody"

Buyer Beware - Those that always seem to have a story.

Don't like to quote myself - but I took a lot of stick for pointing out this guy was a dickhead.

What say you, his backers now...

Looks like king of sports is a deadbeat scammer. Someone in seals thread said owes 2 bitcoins king was in seals lobby I told him about it said he didn't owe anyone anything. Person in seals thread said he contacted king of sports on just dice and king told him he wasn't paying back didn't care. Welcome to the circle of bitcoin deadbeat scumbags king of sports .

Btw for any people who  have doubts this is the real king of sports. He asked me to vouch for him in this thread a while back on seals with clubs poker and as he was reputable then I did. That's how scammers do have string of successful transactions until they turn rouge like king of sports did.

I'm still just confused why he's taking this approach for 2 BTCs when clearly he's been dealing with much more than that on several occasions... seems like we're missing something in this story???

Prolly a competitor with an altnick.

It wasn't. It was him. He had logged into his Just-Dice account and his SwC Account.

He's a degen.

He's always been cool to me so i give him the standard +420 interwebs :)

He was on Seals earlier.


Really lame, KOS. First you try to justify stealing from him by saying you lost it while trying to get the interest by being a degen. THAT IS YOUR FAULT. If he gives you a loan, you must pay him interest, YOU are the one being a degen, not him. Then you KNOW that this is WRONG so instead you justify it by saying "he sent it with his other address so it's ok to steal". Or "it's ok to steal cuz I helped some other people." Just no.. you are being a terrible person and you must be able to know that, don't even try to justify it.

I owe nothing to anyone. Just thought Id clarify this. Also eaglesfan 1 is not me, when I need BTC for investments I go to coinbase instant buy. I gladly do not gamble anymore luckily just invest in some of the gambling sites around. Friend controls those accounts for my benefit. Hope all is well with everyone and I would advise anyone who gambles to stop now.


Just fyi, the only chat I've been in recently was IRC where I went by "fishyfishy". Not that that matters.

You owe me 2BTC. So that's nonsense. You know you owe me it as you logged in from your UMD Campus computer to tell me that you had no intention of paying it back.

And the scammer finally scams.

I told you this guy was a POS from the start. Maybe now I will call up his campus about Ian's thievery online. Also going to go plaster his name on other forums so when he goes to get a job the employers will see hes involved in scams crossed the internet.   

He claims that he is not Ian. Which I am unsure :)

He logged in to IRC from his UMD.edu Wireless connection so at least Ian goes to School there as well and Ian has a Facebook which links to Bitcoin and UMD.edu

I'd really just like my 2BTC that KoS scammed from me though  ::)

It is him. I got it because the dumb fuck thought I was gonna send him 2k western union and thats the name he gave me and address. He is Ian. Give me some numbers and I will make his life hell for you, fo free.

KoS you going to pay me back yet?  8)

Or shall we give all your info to NumberFive?

Just gonna let him steal your money?

Please do not let this go unresolved, the bitcoin community needs to show scammers are in the wrong place. You already got good info from him, from that you can possibly get much more. The amount is small enough that the scammer should seriously considering paying it back and move on with his life.

Don't worry...

Let me guess you've done nothing?

If he really owes nothing to anybody, why'd he suddenly go dark?

]
LOL.

He owes me 2BTC. :)

So you have done nothing and that will be that right?

I can provide contact details (email/phone/address) for KingOfSports for a 0.1BTC fee - PM me.
I've done some detective work to find out who he is.. I was a victim of his scamming ways on SealsWithClubs as well

user Imardern = KingOfSports
I've seen him pull of scams using both accounts

I have all this information currently.

Wow. ::eating my words::

For those still owed: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=429331.0

KingOfSports is basically a scumbag who loves to come around and tel peope how to live their iives when he doesn't know how to ive his own.  Don't ever et yoursef be foolled by this sociopath.

Bay god damn I love you   :D

love you too!
:D

Oh, OK. Everyone will now trust you since you made that impressive post...

At anytime Bigbitz can ask for $275 in BTC (the value of the 2 extra BTC +10% to get this over with, he later sent me at the time by accident before my hospital visit) and I will pay it. I am not a scammer and bigbitz refuses to own up to his mistake, not mine.

I have offered that to him many times. If I was a scammer he would be offered $0. Don't say you know everything when you don't know the situation that happened well over a year ago and that thread sure as hell doesn't bring to light to entirety of what happened or the truth (a lot of that chat he posted was revised and not the original).
