The Denver Broncos' win over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, 20-19, seemed to offer a $ 82.610 gain on a $ 110 bet. Two other punters thought they were online to raise $ 56,000.
Except it's a problem in the system that made the miracle bet payments possible. This led the New Jersey FanDuel Parisian to refuse payment, citing "a wrong price over a period of 18 seconds".
In a statement, FanDuel's advertising director, Kevin Hennessy, said: "We have honored all the wrong bets on the Broncos to win the game at the exact market price, in accordance with our internal rules and specific practices. contacted all concerned customers and we apologized for this error. "
Anthony Price, potential winner of $ 82,610, said News 12 New Jersey that he placed the bet on the Meadowlands racetrack when the Broncos lost against the 19-17 Raiders late in the fourth quarter.
Because the FanDuel system has not updated the live odds to reflect Denver as a favorite of -600 (with a net of $ 18.35) after the Broncos have been in the range. The company's computer error kept the Broncos at 750-1 under the weight.
Price says News 12 New Jersey that he refused the $ 500 bid and three FanDuel New York Giants tickets, and plans to hire a lawyer to challenge the declined payment.
Two other men, Mike Guerriero and Chris Calcano, said News 12 New Jersey the next morning, their $ 56,000 gain was traded for $ 12. They are also considering prosecution.
According to ESPN, the New Jersey Division Division of Gaming Enforcement is investigating FanDuel's problem. Although the regulations on sports betting differ from state to state, New Jersey states that a bookmaker like FanDuel can not "unilaterally cancel a bet".
FanDuel claims his rules that if a "palpable error" is made, he is only obliged to pay "the correct price at the time the bet was placed".
