yeah, that's some bullshit. classic example of "those who the law binds but does not protect" vs "those who the law protects but does not bind".

    That’s so fucked. I hope he’s able to sue and get something.

    You know full well they wouldn’t have cancelled that bet if he had lost.

      Yeah. And if I were his attorney, that would probably be a huge part of my suit. like, make them prove that they would have automatically caught and refunded his bet if he had lost.

      It's very obviously fraud, super easy lawsuit to win. OP is flat-out incorrect about this being legally defensible.
