Prince bet $110 on the Broncos but was stopped when he went to collect from FanDuel's betting window. Denver kicked a field goal with 6 seconds left to win 20-19, capping a second-half comeback that started with the Broncos down 12-0.įanDuel says its system should have calculated his odds at 1-6, meaning a bettor would have to wager $600 in order to win $100. Prince was handed his 750-1 ticket with about a minute left in the game, as the Broncos trailed by two points on their final drive. In a tweet earlier Thursday before FanDuel's decision was announced, McManus sided with Prince. Prince could not immediately be reached for comment.

We are paying out these erroneous tickets and wish the lucky customers well.' 'These kinds of issues are rare, but they do happen. 'A 36-yard field goal has approximately an 85 percent chance of success, so the astronomical odds offered on something highly likely to occur was very obviously a pricing error,' the company said.

Prince made his bet before a game-winning field goal by Denver's Brandon McManus. 'As a result of a pricing error this weekend, it wasn't for some of our customers.' 'Above all else, sports betting is supposed to be fun,' the company said in a statement Thursday. But FanDuel reversed field after consulting with state gambling regulators. The company initially refused to pay the bet placed at its sportsbook at the Meadowlands Racetrack, saying it isn't obligated to pay for obvious errors. The online sports betting company said it will pay Anthony Prince of Newark the full 750-1 payout he was promised when the company's automated system mistakenly generated long odds on the final moments of the Denver Broncos-Oakland Raiders game on Sunday. Several other gamblers who made similar bets at wildly inflated odds will also be paid in full, FanDuel said Thursday. Upon further review, a New Jersey man will get his full $82,000 payout on a disputed $110 sports bet.
