HARDen LUCK

#1 Sports Betting App Will Refund Money Line Bets on Houston Rockets
HARDen LUCK

December 4, 2019 – Houston Rockets fans are clearly frustrated after last night’s loss by two points in an epic double overtime contest against the San Antonio Spurs. The FanDuel Sportsbook believes it was “HARDen Luck,” when a dunk by James Harden was mistakenly ruled an unsuccessful field goal in regular time and the Rockets wound up losing 135-133 in double over time.

The FanDuel Sportsbook has decided to refund all online pre-game straight money line bets that were placed last night on the Houston Rockets. Replays clearly show that the dunk went through the hoop, but Harden dunked it so hard that the net carried it back over the rim making it appear like it was a missed dunk. 

FanDuel’s online customers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana and West Virginia will receive their refunds this afternoon. The refunds will total approximately $20,000.
