Top U.S. Sportsbooks Lost Out on $160.7 Million in Handle Last NFL Season, According to Latest Report from Sports Odds Intelligence Firm Bettormetrics

Bettormetrics

Bettormetrics, a sports odds intelligence firm providing competitive sports odds data and insight to the sports betting industry, released their latest report on the 2023-2024 NFL season today. The analysis found four out of the five top sportsbooks in the U.S. potentially lost over $160.7 million of revenue last NFL season due to extended suspension times and poor pricing strategies. Bettormetrics’ analysis of last season’s NFL games found that BetMGM and Bet365 were suspended in-game and not taking live wagers on average 5-10% more each game than the market leaders. Suspension is when a sportsbook periodically shuts down betting lines in a sporting event to readjust the odds based on activity within the event, while uptime is the amount of time they are accepting live wagers during the game. DraftKings averaged 96.1% uptime last season, while Bet365 averaged only 85.5% uptime – leading to a potential loss of $4.6 million. With the American Gaming Association estimating that betting on the NFL will surge by 30% in 2024 to $35 billion, this means that over $220 million will potentially be lost by tier 1 operators over the coming season. “DraftKings is clearly the team to beat when it comes to NFL betting,” said Robert Urwin, Bettormetrics’ co-founder and CEO. “With the most amount of uptime during NFL games and least amount of time suspended in isolation compared to the other bookmakers, DraftKings has a grip on the most critical betting season in the U.S. FanDuel is close behind and could make up the distance with a few tweaks in their suspension and trading strategies.” Bettormetrics’ Trading Analytics Platform (TAP) aggregates trading performance data so bookmakers gain insight into the performance of their competitors and their own trading desk, and in turn make changes to increase revenues and profitability. “It’s staggering to see the difference in uptime and therefore potential lost revenue between four of the top sportsbooks leaders in the U.S.,” said Sabin Brooks, Bettormetrics’ Chief Revenue Officer. “Without the proper suspension strategy, it’s extremely difficult for BetMGM and Bet365 to begin to catch up to FanDuel and DraftKings. As we begin the 2024-2025 NFL season, there is a real opportunity to close some of the gap if those two bookmakers can optimize their uptime and trading performance.” Bettormetrics is an innovative company providing competitive sports odds intelligence and insight to the sports betting industry. Bettormetrics’s Trading Analytics Platform is a SAAS product supporting sportsbook trading desks with cutting edge insight and analysis on the entire event life cycle, helping sportsbooks, data suppliers and B2B platforms gain an edge on competitors and ensure no profits are left on the table.

PayMedix/TempoPay

PayMedix/TempoPay announced today the appointment of David Kinsey as Vice President of Sales. Kinsey joins during a period of accelerated growth for PayMedix/TempoPay, which delivers innovative healthcare payment solutions that provide interest-free financing to employees for healthcare services, no matter their credit histories. Kinsey brings an extensive background in the healthcare and employee benefits industry. In his new role, Kinsey will lead sales initiatives, focused on driving growth of the PayMedix/TempoPay solution and building strategic relationships across the healthcare industry with a specific focus on the Southeast region. “As more health systems, employers, and benefits administrators across the country continue to look for ways to lower costs and provide affordable access to healthcare for employees, we're seeing increased interest in our flexible financing and payments solutions," said Tom Policelli, CEO of PayMedix/TempoPay. "David's extensive knowledge of healthcare sales and the employee benefits industry will help us increase our reach and ability to serve providers and employers looking for alternative healthcare payment solutions. We are excited to welcome him to our team." Before his current role, Kinsey was an Executive Director at Aetna. He led the Healthcare Business Solutions team to achieve 60% growth over five years by directing enterprise sales, retention, and membership growth strategy. Kinsey was awarded Aetna's Chairman's Leadership Award for his leadership and collaboration. Kinsey’s prior roles at Aetna included working with employer groups and consultants on innovative employee benefits strategies and plan administration. Prior to Aetna, he was a Senior Client Manager at Cigna Healthcare, where he was awarded the Gold Circle for top sales results. He earned his BBA in Finance from Stetson University.

pSTAKE is expanding Bitcoin Liquid Staking on Babylon to BNB Chain

pSTAKE

pSTAKE Finance is proud to announce that it is expanding its Bitcoin Liquid Staking solution to BNB Chain users in the near future by: Bringing yBTC (pSTAKE-issued LST for Bitcoin) to BNB Chain Accepting BTCB deposits on BNB Chain This latest addition to the Bitcoin Liquid Staking solution marks a significant milestone in providing BNB Chain users with unique opportunities to generate yields through Bitcoin Staking. pSTAKE Announces Bitcoin Liquid Staking for BNB Chain Bitcoin Staking is bringing native yields to BTC for the first time. From a DeFi perspective, this can be a huge unlock for the entire industry, with $1.2T+ capital currently sitting idle. pSTAKE Finance’s Bitcoin liquid staking product allows BTC holders to stake native BTC and generate native staking yield through innovative protocols like Babylon. By turning BTC into a slashable asset, Babylon can utilize BTC to add economic security to PoS chains and earn rewards for BTC holders. pSTAKE Finance’s liquid staking solution went live on July 28, 2024, and it quickly filled its 50 BTC deposit cap in three weeks. It then deposited a portion of its BTC into Babylon’s Staking Cap 1, marking the beginning of yields to its BTC depositors through Babylon Points and pSats (pSTAKE Points). BNB Chain is one of the leading Layer 1 chains in crypto, at a unique intersection of Bitcoin and DeFi. It has $6.7B+ TVL across leading DeFi protocols like Venus Protocol, PancakeSwap, BounceBit, Avalon Finance, Radiant Capital, ListaDAO, Aave, and more. BNB Chain is also home to the second biggest wrapped Bitcoin token, with a $4B+ supply of BTCB, Binance-wrapped Bitcoin. In line with decentralization and growing accessibility for Bitcoin yields, pSTAKE Finance has announced that it will bring its upcoming BTC LST yBTC to the BNB Chain and support BTCB deposits in its Bitcoin Liquid Staking solution. This move will bring further Bitcoin liquidity to BNB Chain and propel its existing DeFi Ecosystem. Due to its yield-generating nature, DeFi protocols can leverage yBTC as a pristine collateral asset and offer additional yields to users. At the same time, BTCB holders can stake with pSTAKE directly to earn rewards by contributing to the security of PoS chains through Babylon. Significance of BTCB BTCB is a tokenized version of Bitcoin on the BNB Chain that allows BTC holders to access the BNB ecosystem. The wrapped version of Bitcoin is held at a 1:1 peg to ensure BTCB mirrors Bitcoin's value. The wrapped BTC variant is designed to help bridge the gap between Bitcoin and the BNB Chain DeFi ecosystem and access a wide range of services on the BNB Chain with fast transactions and low fees. BNB Chain takes a custodial approach to BTCB by managing its minting and burning. As a result, Binance, one of the world’s largest and most trusted exchanges, holds the equivalent amount of BTC in a multi-signature cold storage wallet. It also has a Binance Proof of collateral feature to check the Bitcoin held in reserve at any time. BTCB is already supported by various DeFi protocols, including Venus, Aave, Solv, and soon pSTAKE. Gala Wen, Director of Ecosystem Development at BNB Chain said: "BNB Chain’s mission is to bring Web3 to the next billion users, and we are excited to see pSTAKE expanding its Bitcoin liquid staking on Babylon to BTCB on BNB Chain. This expansion not only enhances DeFi opportunities for users but also brings us closer to our goal of making Web3 accessible.” Bitcoin Season 2 on BNB Chain with pSTAKE By bringing yBTC to BNB Chain, pSTAKE expands its offering to provide more accessibility and yields to Binance users, one of the most active userbases in the crypto space. pSTAKE’s integration with BTCB provides more value to BNB Chain users by allowing holders of BTCB to access Bitcoin Staking yields securely with a single click. Bitcoin has already seen widespread adoption in BNB Chain DeFi. In the future, a yield-generating Bitcoin token like yBTC will significantly boost DeFi.
