Traina Thoughts: Fan Duel Refuses To Pay Man Who Won (Questionable) Wager
Getty Images1. Legalized sports betting is off to a rough start in New Jersey.
A man who placed an in-game bet on the Broncos to beat the Raiders Sunday says Fan Duel, operating out of the Meadownlands, has refused to pay him.
Now, the man clearly got a wrong line on the game, because he got Denver at +75,000 while they were only down by two points with 70 seconds remaining in the game. Clearly, that was not the right line, but you know how the saying goes: "A bet is a bet."
But when the guy in question bets $110 to win $82,610, the sportsbook don't want to honor that tradition.
Fan Duel has yet to officially comment on the story, but the bettor claims they told him their system "had a glitch."
