NFL teams didn’t just score touchdowns this past Sunday. The frequent field goals had an unexpected impact, especially for one of America’s leading sports betting platforms.
Last weekend, FanDuel proposed a unique bet. The deal? A +20000 parlay, which would cash out only if every team in the Sunday 1:00 p.m., 4:05 p.m., and 4:25 p.m. ET games scored at least one field goal. And guess what? That’s precisely the turn of events that Sunday’s games delivered.
As a result, FanDuel found itself in a surprising situation. Based on information from X, previously known as Twitter, the company had to pay a whopping $20 million to those who took a chance on that bet.
