Funny how the station thought it was newsworthy but then ends the story saying that Bet MGM "refused' to explain why they stiffed the guy. Another win for big biz sleep2

Not sure what the best were but those odds for what looked like a 4 leg parlay was obviously an error.  He even said he asked someone at BetMGM to review it before he placed it which means he likely caught something as well.

Having said that, BetMGN ought to pay him something even at the corrected odds.  My guess is he will get something like the other guy now that it is going public. Even a couple hundred grand payout is worth avoiding the hit on their reputation

It got reviewed and accepted, and it was a 6leg parlay but yeah he should get paid what the "correct" odds would of been.

@MIZARD

 I wonder why with all the AI out there that they don't catch these obvious way off errors sooner.  But as long as the book canceled the bets we'll before the game tipped off then it is acceptable.   I suppose they can't start a precedence paying bettors for betting into obvious line errors even as a goodwill measure and even though it ain't no skin  off their assholes.
