There was a guy on Twitter a year or so ago who had a draftkings futures ticket on a guy to win a tournament at +80k when it should have been +8k. The trader added an extra 0. So he had $100 to win $80,000.
The player made the final and lost but the dude made about $12k on hedges. How bad would it suck if the player had won and they didn't pay out the bet and he lost all that money hedging.

Shiat :) but yeah it sucks a lot - it isn’t trying to be better knowing etc I highlight it - it is because I have tried this exact thing a billion times and also where I have tried hedging it - only for one of the bets being voided - sometimes they are ”nice” to do it before the match start - then I have done what I could to damage control my loss - but it hits hard when they done it after the match :( - I don’t even wanna know how much I have lost in that process over the years - but it is a lot :(
Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep
