FanDuel sportsbook already paying out national championship bets on Alabama

Sorry, but who cares. 

Why reply?

Marketing or not, it's just crazy.

Why? Because it's a forum. A topic was posted. A reply to the topic was given. That's how it works

I believe Paddy Power or another Euro book was paying Clinton wagers before she lost to Trump in the 2016 Election.  

That's hilarious.  

But $400,000 isn't sh!t in the grand scheme of things for Fan Duel.  As mentioned previously, it's pretty good marketing.

I live in Jersey so I use their Sportsbook over the others b/c their ACH Withdraw TAT is 2 business days.  I understand Draft Kings now has it but they didn't earlier this year.  

They are doing all this when this business (sports betting) is going to rise bigger than ever without any marketing schemes. But hey, like you said, it is true, $400,000 is nothing when considering the bottom line.

This live in-game wagering is going to explode in the future. NBA and MLB already on board to provide statistic feeds.

You're right about the Live In-Game man.  They have ML and point spread updates on almost each play.  Allows you hedge.  I noticed DraftKings doesn't provide them with wagers bet pre-game but Fan Duel does.  So much for calling your bookie up on a Saturday morning asking for a 10-timer on the early game hoping that he's home and picks up the LAN line.  

Have you seen the Cash-Out option?  Allows you cancel your wager in game with money won/loss depending on the score.  

I used it literally within the minute of the Serena Williams 2nd set meltdown during the Championship match of the US Open.  Saved me around $125

its not that unbelievable when you consider Bama are -250 which makes it more sense for the books to give people the chance to lose their money plus with the marketing aspect as mentioned already.
