FanDuel, a major player in the wagering world, has rules that state if a player comes to the plate, it is considered a plate appearance. However, there's a glaring issue with this rule: when a player gets injured during their **first at-bat** and is unable to continue the game, the player's participation is still counted as a plate appearance. This count affects the outcome of bets placed on that player, regardless of the fact that they couldn't complete their turn.

For people like myself who regularly place bets, it’s disheartening to see a company, making millions, uphold such an unfair practice. It is crucial for FanDuel to adopt a fairer system. Instead of immediately counting it as a plate appearance, let's make it only count if it results in a hit, a walk, or an out during that initial turn at bat. This ensures that the intent of the play is recognized, rather than penalizing a player — and, by extension, their bettors — for circumstances beyond their control.

**Why is this important?** Bettors invest both in the excitement of the game and the fairness of the play. Seeing a player exit due to injury without benefitting from the standards expected simply isn't right. It not only affects individual wagers but also erodes trust in the betting system.

Let's make a change that respects both the integrity of the sport, and those who invest in it. Fans and bettors deserve a system that considers the unpredictability of injuries and safeguards their bets against such unforeseen circumstances.

Sign this petition to urge FanDuel to implement this necessary change to their plate appearance rule, fostering a much-needed environment of fairness and respect in sports betting.
