“Specifically, near the end of the Sunday afternoon game between the Denver Broncos and the Oakland Raiders, the odds for the Broncos (who had the ball and were trailing by two points at the time) to win were +340 (bet $100 to win $340). “The wager in question involved an obvious pricing error inadvertently generated by our in-game pricing system,” FanDuel director of publicity Kevin Hennessy said in a statement. Two Jersey parties who placed wagers on plus-75,000 odds for the Denver Broncos to beat the Oakland Raiders with 1:10 left in Sunday’s game received more than $138,000 in winnings from FanDuel SportsBook after Broncos kicker Brandon McManus split the uprights in a last-second 20-19 victory.Įxcept, FanDuel revoked the payouts, suggesting they were the result of an 18-second glitch: While one gambler pocketed more than $80,000 on a $5 parlay bet over the weekend, similar payouts are being withheld from gamblers in New Jersey due to what FanDuel is calling an odds-making error. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction - apparently, even in gambling.
