I would be on Nitrogen's side if they had canceled the bet before they walked on stage. They had 25 minutes to cancel the bet and they didn't for Hillary's dress and almost an hour to cancel for Donald's tie color. They left the bets up and continued to take wagers. They knew well before 9PM that something was going on.
If Hillary had not been red, and Trump tie had been a different color, they could have graded all those bets that came in as a loser and nobody would have raised a red flag. Instead they came out in what was shown in the previews, and what they were getting action on. Trump could have easily changed his tie in an hour, no? They realized they were on losing side and canceled bets.
You really don't know if this is how it went down. But if there is one thing I've learned in my life is that anyone in business, especially this business, will take advantage of you when given the opportunity. Another thing I've learned is that when money is involved you bet your ass they saw what was going on. They are in the business of risk management and monitoring this stuff. They knew well before 9PM what was going, yet waited until they came out on stage to announce it was canceled?
Maybe the majority of people deserve to be free-rolled, but I guarantee you not every bet after 8:35 had this knowledge and they were being free rolled.
I really can't think of a better way to recommend they handle it AFTER 9 PM. They obviously can't pay out everyone who bet this prop at those odds and had info. I just think this shows the youth of Nitro and they shouldn't get a free pass on this one. Clearly was not handled correctly...
