SteemSports: Unpaid bets situation

Hive account@steemsports has been doing a great job at distributing Steem Power using a "Vote-Bet" system.

However during the last week some problems with the "script" being used to read the vote-bets have surfaced:

It seems that because the voting script is being tested, funds from those bets were sent from Hive account@steemsports account to the Hive account@steemsportsfund account in the amount of 330 STEEM DOLLARS and 5,833 STEEM. Also at the time of writing this post another 3,799 STEEM remained on the Hive account@steemsports account.

All those funds are from unpaid bets. However allthough something with the voting script is going on that causes the need of moving funds out of the Hive account@steemsports account, new bets are being open each day (and the same script seems to be used to read those bets). This is causing the unpaid and open games list to increase each day. That list is currently the following:

Two days ago, a clarification for this situation was asked so far with no answer.

This post seeks to obtain a clarification from Hive account@steemsports regarding this situation, namely:

1) What is the problem with Hive account@steemsports voting script?

2) Why are new bets being posted if previous winning bets are not being paid instead of halting new bets until the situation is solved?

Once again, Hive account@steemsports has done a great job at distributing STEEM POWER so far, but also a public explanation of current issues is needed.
