FanDuel app crashing during live bet placement on Bulls games — losing wagers mid-submission

[bulls fan derek]

Been trying to place live bets on Bulls games through the FanDuel app for the past week and it keeps crashing right when I hit submit. Happened 4 times during the Lakers game Tuesday — had Coby White over 2.5 threes at +180 locked in, app freezes for 8 seconds, then kicks me back to the main screen. By the time I reload, the line moved to +140.

Same thing happened during the Pistons game Saturday. Had Bulls -4.5 live at halftime when they were only up by 2, but the app crashed during submission and the spread moved to -7.5 before I could get back in.

Anyone else seeing this? I'm on iPhone 14 with the latest iOS update. Cleared cache, reinstalled the app twice, still happening. Really frustrating to lose value on good spots because of technical glitches.

Had similar issues with FanDuel but switched to Sportsbetting.ag for live betting. Their mobile site loads way faster and I've never had a crash during bet placement. Plus their live lines update quicker — caught Bulls +2.5 live last week when they were down 8 at the half.

This is why I stick to pre-game betting mostly. Live betting apps always seem to have issues right when you need them most. But when I do live bet, I've been using BUSR and their platform is rock solid. Never had a crash and their Bulls lines are usually competitive. Made

40 on their live under bet during the Nuggets blowout two weeks ago.

For what it's worth, my buddy had the same FanDuel crashes during Bears games earlier this season. Seems like their servers can't handle the Chicago market volume during big games.

FanDuel's been garbage for live betting since they updated their app in November. The crash rate during high-volume games is probably 15-20% based on what I'm seeing in Discord groups. Not just Bulls games either — had it happen during Sunday Night Football, March Madness, you name it.

The real kicker is they don't honor the original odds when you finally get back in. Lost a Chiefs +3.5 live bet because the app crashed and by the time I could resubmit, the line was -1.5. Customer service basically told me tough luck.

Been tracking this for 6 weeks now. Tuesday night crashes happened to at least 12 people I know who were trying to bet the Bulls comeback. It's not your phone, it's their infrastructure choking under load.

Not just you man. My FanDuel app crashed 3 times during the Bulls-Celtics game last month. Really annoying when you're trying to bet live totals and miss your window.

Yeah this has been brutal. I organize pickup games at the UC courts and half the guys were complaining about missing live bets during Bulls games because of app crashes. One dude missed a DeMar DeRozan over 24.5 points at +110 because FanDuel froze during the third quarter when he was already at 18 points.

The timing is suspicious too — seems to happen most during comeback situations when the lines are moving fast. Like the app can't keep up with the rapid odds changes during momentum swings. Really makes you wonder if it's intentional to protect their liability during volatile game states.

FanDuel's live betting has been trash for months. The crashes are bad enough but their line movements are sketchy too. I've seen Bulls spreads jump 3 points in 10 seconds with no scoring, then the app conveniently crashes when you try to bet the other side.

Started using multiple outs because of this exact issue. Can't rely on one book when you're trying to catch live value, especially during Bulls games when the action gets heavy. Having backups ready is the only way to not lose your mind with these technical problems.
