Enthusiasts Grant Record-Breaking Injury Reward to Wagerer, Amounting to $224,000
Rewritten Article:
In a move that's music to bettors' ears, Fanatics Sportsbook is dishing out the dough—a hefty sum of half a million bucks—following Steph Curry's injury during a Western Conference semifinals match against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This generous refund marks the largest injury-related payout Fanatics has ever made.
One lucky bettor from Michigan, who happen to put down a cool $5,000 on a four-leg parlay that included Curry, pocketed a whopping $224,773, thanks to Fanatics' Fair Play Policy. Talk about hitting the jackpot!
You might be wondering, who walked away with the biggest injury-related refund in Fanatics' history? That would be the Michigander, who, thanks to Curry's exit, scored this record-breaking win.
Curry exited the game on Wednesday night due to a nagging hamstring injury. In a surprising turn of events, Fanatics used the opportunity to reference Curry's exit and promote their injury policy, urging other sportsbook patrons: "It's time to switch lanes."
Under Fanatics' policy, if a player retires injured during the first half, bettors receive a cash refund. Legs involving injured players in parlays, however, are voided.
Fanatics, a subsidiary of the Michael Rubin-owned US sportswear giant, also issued a press release, boasting about their commitment to fairness. According to Fanatics, their policy has seen them fork over over $2m during the NBA playoffs so far, with injuries to players such as Ja Morant, Damian Lillard, and Jimmy Butler resulting in refunds[1][2].
Lately, Fanatics Sportsbook has been experiencing a massive surge in popularity. Since entering the market in late 2023, they've refunded or paid out a staggering $8m to their customers[3]. So, it seems safe to say that this trend isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
