The Raiders had been winning for nearly all four quarters at the time, but the Broncos started to come back.Prince says that he was not watching the game at the time, but with only 1 minute, 10 seconds left in the game, and a score of 19-17, he made a bet on the Broncos to win.He says that he put $110 down at a plus-75,000 bet. If he won, he would win $82,610.

But when Prince went up to the window to collect his winnings, he said that the teller would not pay out the bet.“They said their system had a glitch in it and they’re not obligated to pay for glitches,” Prince says.Prince says that instead he was offered $500 and skybox seats for three Giants games. But Prince says that he declined.“The other guy said, ‘You should take what we give you because we don’t have to give you [anything] at all.’ I said, ‘Wow, for real?’” Prince says.A spokesperson for FanDuel says that the company is currently investigating the matter.But Prince says that he feels cheated.“The government is taxing it now so I thought it would be a better situation. You'd rather go to the corner bookies now. You're not getting paid here,” he says.Prince says that he plans on getting an attorney involved. He says that he will also contact the New Jersey Division of Gaming to make a complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasson621 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 He should've took the $500 offered plus the skybox, this is as obvious as it gets, bad line/glitch whatever you want to call it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theguesser Posted September 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 IMO, they should pay out the full amount, publicize it as "we book it, we pay it". The good publicity will more than offset the $80,000 mistake in the long run. I believe in Vegas the Book would be obligated to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbie Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 no way. It sets a bad precedent. It was clearly a bad line.

Bfo Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 no way. It sets a bad precedent. It was clearly a bad line. Vegas books are obligated to pay bad lines?We always paid off on bad numbers, but never had anything close to this. The worst one I remember was the Pistons should have been -900 to win a series but the clerk put in +900. One guy hit it for a dime before it was discovered and he was paid.

I'm trying to figure out what the line was supposed to be here. +750 would even be too high so it's not as if it was a decimal issue. That said, I dont see how they pay that out without setting a bad precedent but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyF0cker Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 That is not a bad precedent. A bad precedent is allowing a sportsbook to determine what constitutes a bad line after the game is over. In Nevada, if a ticket is written, it has to be paid. That should be the standard.

I've seen a -10 be a +10 in NCAAF at the Venetian (before they were Cantor). I've seen a halftime NBA total of 62 before at Leroy's. There are at least a couple of bad errors once a year or so. But if someone hits them hard, the book has the right to throw that person out. Book the bet, pay the bet. Throw the person out if necessary. That's how it should be.

I never had a problem with guys playing bad numbers as long as they weren’t trying to circumvent limits and that they let me know we hung a bad number after they bet it.

Moldoveanu Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 The line should have been around +3,400 for Denver to win once they had the ball with 2 minutes plenty of time it's not like they needed a td I'd be happy with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKolzig Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 they shouldnt have to pay that. total bad line. what if 100 ppl bet it for $5k, they should have to pay that out? guy needs to take a hike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyF0cker Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 What they should be doing is firing whoever set the line. Expensive lesson. No "computer glitch" causes a line to be set at +75000. When you support a book in this scenario, you support their ability to freeroll players down the road - which could have been exactly what they were doing to begin with. You get what you ask for. Never would have seen so many people side with books on this stuff years ago. It's crazy how the offshore books have brainwashed players into thinking that is right.

Shavencoinpurse Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 when you bet in to a clearly bad line, you are taking a risk in not getting paid. I don't believe he should be paid. If your company's payroll makes a mistake and pays you too much, you don't get to keep it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
