In a remarkable twist, the FanDuel Sportsbook at the Meadowlands Racetrack has agreed to pay out an $82,000 bet made on Sunday that it likely would have been within its rights to void, following an avalanche of negative publicity.
Anthony Prince of Newark put up $110 to win that payoff, which came because of wildly inaccurate in-game betting odds late in Denver’s 20-19 win over Oakland. With the Broncos having just completed a 26-yard pass in the final minute, they were in position to win by making a mere 36-yard field goal — only three yards longer than an extra point.
