Degen bet $110 on Broncos at 750-1 odds. Won $82,610. FanDuel said "nah, pricing error" and refused to pay.
Here's what happened:
Sept 16, 2018. Broncos trailing Raiders by 2 with a minute left. FanDuel's live odds system glitched for 18 seconds—posted Broncos at 750-1 instead of -600.
Anthony Prince saw it, smashed $110 immediately. Ticket printed: $82,610 payout.
Broncos kicker hits the FG with 6 seconds left. Broncos win 20-19.
Prince goes to collect. FanDuel: "Obvious error, we're not paying."
They offered him $500 + 3 Giants skybox tickets. He told them to kick rocks, went public, contacted regulators.
The man took the odds THEY posted. When it paid off, they said their own ticket doesn't count.
This is why you never trust the house when you're winning.
