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.

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.

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. About pSTAKE Finance pSTAKE Finance is a Bitcoin Yield and liquid staking protocol, backed by Binance Labs. With pSTAKE Finance, users can liquid stake BTC to get rewards from Babylon's Trustless BTC staking for securing other app chains while maintaining their liquidity. Accessing Bitcoin yields should not be complex, risky, or unsafe. With four years of liquid staking expertise and expert-curated yield strategies, pSTAKE Finance helps individuals and institutions put their BTC to work in BTCfi. pSTAKE Finance has partnered with leading blockchain security firms, such as Halborn, Hexens, Oak Security, Immunefi, Forta, and more, to offer a secure liquid staking product suite.

The Technology Powering Aeva's (NYSE: AEVA) Vision For A Safer Autonomous Future And Why It Could Be Game-Changing

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga When it comes to autonomous driving, safety and accuracy are top of mind. For self-driving cars, trucks and trains to become ubiquitous on America’s roads, streets and railways, they must be extremely safe and reliable. The same goes for the robots that will someday deliver everything from food to medicine without human intervention. They have to be able to see everything around them and react in real time to avoid crashes. Technology advances and companies like Aeva Technologies (NYSE: AEVA) are making that a reality. Mountain View, California-based Aeva makes LiDAR sensors for use in vehicles, trucks and trains. The sensors act as eyes, providing 3D views of the surroundings. FMCW, The Technology Enabler For Highway Autonomy What takes Aeva’s sensors to the next level on the safety and reliability fronts is its Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) 4D LiDAR technology, which uses a low-power continuous laser beam to measure range and a fourth dimension of velocity at the same time. Aeva says FMCW unlocks new levels of safety and automation by instantaneously discriminating between moving and non-moving points and knowing the precise velocity of objects in motion. Instant velocity data gives real-time insight into how an object’s position is changing, giving the vehicle’s computer a more accurate picture to help plan its next move. But that’s not all. Aeva’s sensors also have advanced perception capabilities that deliver new features, which the company says are not possible with typical legacy LiDAR sensors, including Ultra resolution and vehicle localization. Ultra resolution provides a camera-like image of the world providing what Aeva Technologies says is up to 20 times the resolution of legacy time-of-flight LiDAR sensors. Image segmentation enables the detection of roadway markings, drivable regions, vegetation, road barriers and road hazards like tire fragments at up to twice the distance of conventional time-of-flight LiDAR sensors. Instant velocity data allows for confident detection and tracking of dynamic objects such as oncoming vehicles and other moving objects at distances up to 500 meters, reports Aeva. Meanwhile the technology’s Vehicle Localization features enable real-time vehicle motion estimation with six degrees of freedom, providing accurate vehicle positioning and navigation, which could be a substitute for other sensors, like IMU or GPS. That provides for safe autonomous navigation in common GPS-denied environments like tunnels and parking structures. Aeva says its FMCW technology provides autonomous vehicles with freedom from interference from sunlight and other LiDAR sensors, elimination of retroreflector blooming and ghosting from highly reflective objects like street signs and roadway markings, as well as a greater ability to see in weather conditions like dust, fog, rain and snow. Importantly, these benefits can allow automated vehicles to safely operate at highway speeds, a feat that has been sought after by major car manufacturers. Overcoming The Limitations With all that safety and technology packed into Aeva’s LiDAR sensors, Aeva is overcoming one of the biggest challenges of self-driving vehicles today: blindspots. Self-driving vehicle algorithms and conventional sensors can have difficulty when the weather is bad, lane markings are not clear or unexpected obstacles are in their way. That can lead to accidents and fatalities. Reacting in real-time is the goal and Aeva delivers that with its LiDAR sensors. The company’s FMCW LiDAR sensors can also enable self-driving cars and trucks to achieve highway speeds safely. It's something that has eluded the industry so far, with many self-driving vehicles achieving top speeds of 35 to 45 MPH. For the trucking industry to move to autonomous vehicles, it has to be able to sustain highway speeds safely. Achieving that can someday address the labor shortages the heavy truck industry faces. Finding drivers who want to spend most of their time on the road and away from family for three to four-week clips is harder to come by. Autonomous trucks that can run all day and all night can help fill that gap. It’s why Daimler Truck AG is using Aeva’s sensors in its Class 8 Freightliner Cascadia autonomous truck platform. Daimler Truck intends to integrate the LiDAR sensors directly into its production process, making it easy for customers to buy autonomous-ready trucks directly from its manufacturing plants. Daimler Truck said it chose Aeva’s LiDAR sensors because of its ability to provide enhanced safety and control. “Daimler Truck is committed to leading the industry’s advancement toward autonomous trucks. Selecting the right LiDAR technology is a crucial strategic decision to safely deploy autonomous trucks on the road,” said Joanna Buttler, Head of Global Autonomous Technology Group at Daimler Truck. “We are convinced that Aeva with its cutting-edge and reliable technology is the right production partner for LiDAR sensors and has the manufacturing capabilities to scale along with us.” The world is moving toward autonomous vehicles but for them to become ubiquitous safety can’t be a question. That’s where companies like Aeva Technologies come in. Its advanced next-generation LiDAR sensors can react in real-time, potentially taking autonomous driving to the next level.

Prescribing The Future: How MangoRx Is Shaking Up Telemedicine With A Fresh Platform

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga Since Covid-19, telemedicine has been expanding significantly, with 44% of physicians using it at least weekly and 40% daily in the U.S. in 2023. The industry is seen by some as a new frontier for patient education and access to medicine and care. The DEA Opens The Digital Door To The Telemedicine Industry Before the pandemic, the primary way a patient would get a drug prescription was through an in-person visit with a doctor. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) loosened those restrictions, allowing physicians to prescribe “controlled medications” over the phone and via video conference. That’s been good for companies in the direct-to-consumer telehealth industry. One of the players in this business is MangoRx or Mangoceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: MGRX), which develops a variety of men's health and wellness products and services. Working with Surescripts, which helps coordinate all the parties in the prescription process, MangoRx recently transitioned its telemedicine platform to a newly developed DEA-approved telemedicine operating system. The new system allows MangoRx’s third-party doctor network to prescribe and offer controlled substances. These include Prime Protocol by MangoRx, powered by Kyzatrex, an Oral Testosterone Replacement Therapy and other hormone replacement treatments. According to Jacob Cohen, CEO and co-founder of MangoRx, the company is dedicated to “revolutionizing patient care,” and the new system enhances patient management by “offering seamless doctor visits, prescription auto-refills, and overall health management.” MangoRx is joined in the telehealth space by companies like Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS), a San Francisco-based telehealth company; Maximus Tribe, a compound pharmaceuticals company that also offers coaching and is based in Santa Monica, California; and Nu Image Medical, a Tampa, Florida-based company that sells weight loss, hormone replacement, sexual health, and general wellness products. Cohen argues, however, that MangoRx is setting a new benchmark for excellence in telemedicine. The company believes that the steps it is taking create meaningful competitive advantages over other companies in the space. MangoRx’s Digital Leap Shortens Time To Market MangoRx, which currently offers therapy options for erectile dysfunction, hair growth and hormone replacement, intends to use the new operating system to roll out new weight loss treatment options. These include an oral dissolvable GLP-1 tablet that includes Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, the ingredients in some of the most popular prescription weight loss medicines. The company’s new operating system helps it accelerate the ability to introduce other new product lines, the first of which is the dissolvable tablet they have branded as Slim and Trim. This brand will help MangoRx capitalize on the significant demand for GLP-1 weight loss treatments for both men and women.
