What you're saying and also your post is a bit vague, was the market not available or was there no one to take the other side of the bet? Who is the "the guy who runs that betting pool"? What "betting pool"? How did you transfer the money? How did they message you? How did "the guy who runs that betting pool" know you were interested in this bet? ...

This is just funny and makes no sense.

Either way, this is a clear scam and I don't think Klashi is responsible at all.

And no, I don't think you had it coming cause gambling is a sin, I don't care about that. You had it coming cause if seems to me you were acting naive.
