Bookmaker FanDuel is declining to honor a $110 bet made in New Jersey that would have paid over $82,000 due to what the company is calling an error in the oddsmaking process, according to David Purdum of ESPN.

"The wager in question involved an obvious pricing error inadvertently generated by our in-game pricing system," said a FanDuel spokesperson.

The bet was placed over the counter at the Meadowlands Racetrack while the Denver Broncos were trailing the Oakland Raiders 19-17 in the fourth quarter on Sunday. The live-odds feed gave the Broncos +75,000 odds of completing the comeback after a Case Keenum completion got them into field-goal range.

Those odds would have paid bettor Anthony Prince $82,610, but FanDuel says the odds should have been listed at -600, a number that would have paid a profit of $18.35.

The company offered to pay Prince approximately $500 and give him tickets to three New York Giants games. Prince declined the offer and said he plans to get an attorney involved, according to News 12 New Jersey.

:jbhmm:

So, it's an obvious error, but aren't they on the hook for that? It's not like an online purchase where they put up the wrong price.

shyt like that is weird. I've had an online betting site have a live bet open for a basketball game that was actually over and I put up on the winner to win and came up. tried one bet of $20 once I saw it wasn't locked/grayed out and after it went through I put every cent I had on that same bet. got my money out and made off with no problem :mjgrin:.


conversely, I've had an instance (on that same website) where I made a bet where the outcome was already determined, won my money and withdrew immediately. My account was at $0, the transfer was made and later on I looked at my balance and it was like -$330. basically reversed the outcome because they knew what was up. lol in effect I got a quick loan from them :beli:.

He won't see a penny of that. It's the same as if a bank wires money to your account and it's the wrong account. That money is going back to the bank

Anyone that bets knows there are rules and procedures with wrong lines.
