This is pretty bad.

Guy wins 3rd in the contest for 250,000. He was in first place before the last game of the tourney, saying he was planning to bet his whole balance on the Saints-Eagles Under 53 which won handily. It would have won him $1 Million. But since his previous bet didn't grade before kickoff (he was one of several contest entries who couldn't get anything down because his balance was $0.01 before the final game started), he couldn't do it.

It's as if the digital pen didn't work on Final Jeopardy where you went all in and would have won if Alex Trebek could see your (to him) invisible scribblings.

So this should-be win of $1 Milly becomes a $250K win, possibly because of not-up-to snuff technology on Draft Kings' back end.




Bad beat of bad beats.
