More shadiness in handicapping contests - Draft Kings

Dane I’ve been following this pretty close. I guess my only issue w the guy is that if I was in contention for a million bucks I’d probably make the trip to jersey city and be there live. Why risk some type of computer error

With that being said it appears this was put together rather quickly. Plus allowing parlays was just wrong.

But don't you guys think his argument is irrelevant since we don't know what picks he truly would have made anyhow.

He could have fallen even further correct??

His buddy tweeted before the philly game he was going all in on the UNDER thus securing him 1st place. There were many issues with this contest. Guys paying the 10k in AC then not having their accounts credited. Seemed like they were manually grading plays in Jersey City & computer grading for guys who competed online.

the 22% vig or whatever ridiculous amount it is was enough for me to not play

Ahhh ok.

Still though he could gave changed his mind and we don't really know what he would have really played.

But this is what happens when you let a hypocritical Fantasy Sports Company who always distanced themselves from sports betting not wanting to be associated with it, suddenly wants a piece of the pie.

Draftkings screws guy out of $2.5mm in contest

Already a thread on this

**kidcudi92** · 01-14-19, 02:28 PM

early

**Slipknot26** · 01-14-19, 02:47 PM

They'll wind up paying him extra .
With contestants playing the early game , only a handful of contestants didn't get the early game graded yet it's obvious they all played the same game .
We've seen it , you bet 4 1pm games , the early one finishing yet it gets graded last 30 minutes after it's over , other 3 finish last yet hit your account in 30 seconds .
So expect they pay him and others extra since grading seems to be the issue , the early game grading should've been all or no contestants since it all bets was on the same game .

**krk1030** · 01-14-19, 02:55 PM

Multiple people reporting he was going to go all in on saints ML and even told the people running the event.

Pretty ridiculous to not have people specifically assigned to grade these co test wagers immediately.

Draft Kings and Fan duel can be very unlikable companies.

**pavyracer** · 01-14-19, 05:10 PM

It's his fault. He should have parlayed the Patriots -3.5 with the Saints under instead of waiting for a game to end. NFL is not going to adjust the time it takes to finish a game because Rufus Nobody may win 1 million in a contest.

**Emily_Haines** · 01-14-19, 05:14 PM

The fukk should have had Brock (the king of the short bankroll) show him how to put in an "if-win" bet.

**daneblazer** · 01-15-19, 02:59 PM

Guy has been on the radio this week. Seems pretty frustrated but is taking it in stride. Draft kings botched it
