The betting site tried to void a winning $12,000 bet made by a gambler where the gambler took advantage of an oversight in the website. The bet was basically a certain batter would have more than 8 hits in the NLCS. Then he bet he would have more than 7 hits. The site linked the two bets as if they were unrelated events and increased the odds even though if the batter had more than 8 hits he would have to have also had more than 7. Figuring out this glitch, the gambler then bet the same batter would have more than 6, more than 5 and so on until when the bet paid if he won nearly $1MM. Draft Kings then tried to void the bet and Massachusetts told them to pound sand.
If the gambler had lost the bet and the original $12k wager, wonder if DraftKings would have allowed him to void the bet?
These gambling sites are gross and the people who run them and promote them should be driven from society.
@jmhorp@sidprabhu Incredible. What if you were let's say 6 years younger, and could start investing in 2000's only.
How long would you have to wait until not only do you make your money back but "beat inflation"?
