Betting that Draymond Green knows some people that did

 

[GamblingmanC's]

Several books, including FanDuel, Caesars, BetMGM and PointsBet, promptly paid the under bets on Green as winners. DraftKings, however, held off paying while it reviewed the situation and tried to determine whether bets placed after the news of Green's playing time were on a "known event," which would violate house rules.

DraftKings released a statement Monday night saying bets on Green in the Cavaliers-Warriors game were "under review and bet settlements are currently on hold pending an investigation."

On Tuesday, as uproar from bettors on social media intensified, DraftKings announced that it was grading Green under bets as winners and issuing cash refunds on any over bets.

Draftkings at first looking for an excuse not to pay out right away
then came the backlash, paid! and even canceling the over bets. nice

f*** draftkings even though they did right thing in the end.

Glad that they paid the bettors.

Draymond likely made thousands on this event. He probably had his brother, mother, and every other homie in on this.

Some guys were getting crazy under prop bets on him. $3k to win $70k, etc...

 

[RudyRuder]

No offshore books wouldve paid this


right?????

Thinking it's likely more than 100 thousand to make to worth his while, still he made lots of people rich so good for him.

I would definitely check the players who win big for cases like this. Especially his immediate family lol

agree that this was a good article

I would think if bettors were able to get the information, why didn't the bookmaker have the same info? it was posted on Twitter, right?

Exactly and yes it was

Doesn’t this happen everyday to a lessor degree. Books leave lines up. Key information gets release X player will be out for the game before the game. Slow moving books get streamed bet because well they are slow moving and let a line hang while everyone hammer it?

My uncles still takes bets in their old age, I take as many bets as possible too, so not like I don't understand the situations books have to deal with everyday - but still, a bet is like a business agreement, it shouldn't be voided because the other party knew more than you did that's the risks of doing business.

Only honest obvious blatant mistakes should be allowed to void any business deal, including bets.
