    Some politicians have already been pushing for federal regulation & if you think an incident like this doesn't stand out & give them an even greater reason to pursue it, then you're not being honest with yourself.

    These senators don't know the 'bad line rule' like we all do.

    All they see is controversy.

    Not a good look for something just getting underway.
    If they kept it out of the papers what publicity did they get? By putting it out there and then paying out, that’s great publicity.

    Good point but they didn't plan it this way.

    Word is NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement played a role.

    The problem is it was the worst kind of publicity when it comes to politicians already seeking feferal legislation.

    Coincidence that a Congressional hearing was discussed and scheduled just 1-2 days after this well known incident?

    Just a week or two ago the American Gaming Association told 2 senators pushing for legislation that it's not needed because states have it all under control themselves.

    And then this.

    And I'll reiterate.

    Politicians don't understands the fine details of sports betting.

    All they see is a mess of a story where a player isnt getting paid.

    When federal legislation goes thru everyone can thank Fanduel for the worst timing ever to screw up.

    Was there a $100 limit on the live bet? Surprised the bettor didn't max it out if not.

    There’s been reports in Vegas about books paying tickets after the game was complete. Why no congressional hearings over that ? This instances have happened time & time again and books were fined 10’s of thousands of $$

    Fanduel should invite this guy back and give him a vip table for him and his buddies. Watch he gives everything back, and then some. If they're smart, they won't ban him. He'll just give the 82k to someone else.

    FanDuel is just a brand owned by Paddy Power/Bet Fair since May.
    They are on the up-and-up, might even have insurance for this.
    Huge global operation not interested in being noted for disputes.
    No Tony's.

    This is true and while they're at it, they'll make a few bets and lose some cash. FD will get that 82k back in the form of increased business.

    so does FanDuel get an A+ rating from SBR because they paid a shady player that took a deliberate shot and played a bad line?...

    Exactly. Fanduel has to be on their toes 24/7 now, and it will happen again.
