In-game betting is the practice of betting on events within a game, often a televised sporting event, while that game is happening.
In-game betting describes the practice of betting on a game and events onwithin a game while it is happening. This is similar to live betting, although sometimes the two are distinguished forfrom each other, with live betting taking place throughout a game but with each play changing the odds of the bet. In both instances, in-game or live betting offers a chance to place in-play wagers for specific plays and player proposition.
In-game betting has traditionally been available in one form, such as placing a bet on a player to score the first point in a game,; whichthe bet had to traditionallybe placed before athe match took place. But, with the growth of mobile technology and the increased speed of networks, this type of betting has increased. With the possibility for viewers to have more robust streaming technology in place, users can bet on every play in a game with greater reliability, as latency is reduced both for the live event and the betting odds.
A lot of the growing in-game betting technology on in-game betting has been inwith browser sites orand mobile applications. A lot ofMany livestreams of sporting events have experienced as transmission delays anywhere from 45forty-five to 55fifty-five seconds, which causescause friction with aan in-game betting situation as the odds can change before a viewer is watching a play develop,; andthe eitherdelay can ruin a betting opportunity, or, more simply, ruin the whole game experience. As the technology develops, theit technologycan ideally provide synchronized, real-time, delay-free streams that can provide synchronized, real-time streams without delays couldwill increase the in-game betting opportunities.
Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns Bally Sports Regional Networks, has been in negotiations with their league partners to obtain streaming rights for a direct-to-consumer (DTC) launch. The broadcast group broadcasts 14fourteen teams in the MLB, 16sixteen teams in the NBA, and 12twelve teams in the NHL. Part of these rights would include the ability for Sinclair Broadcast Group to include in-game sports betting overlay through an in-game live streaming application. This would be an interactive application whichthat would offer a kind of gamification of watching live sports, and offeroffering users a chance to make in-game bets. This also offers Sinclair Broadcast Group a chance to get ahead of cord-cutting, as fewer viewers are watching traditional broadcasts. This is as other sports broadcasting companies, and live betting sites such as FanDuel and DraftKings extend their offerings of in-game betting.
With new technology has come increased statistical information to inform the odds making for any in-game or traditional sports betting. This statistical information also offers a chance for some to build simulations and models through AI or machine learning algorithms in order to create better odds, or, arguably, more accurate odds. And while traditional bookmakers would sit in a room and debate where a spread should be set, now this has been slowly replaced by ever-more accurate computers whichthat work with data from past games and past performances to create a betting line.
These models have already been used and have seen stronger betting lines that move less during an event, giving greater stability in the bookmaker's perspective. With the continued development of this technology, the simulations can also offer simulations on how betting lines should move during a game based on play and statistical advantages. For example, if a team has a near-perfect record when scoring first, but is not a favorite to win a game, the betting line could change depending on whether that team scores first or not.

With the increased popularity of Esports, a new opportunity also exists for in-game betting. As these sports are traditionally streamed live on sites like Twitch and YouTube Live, both of which offer robust and low-latency streaming, for the most part, in-game betting offers a chance for Esports to generate new interest and new opportunities for interested users. And, while most of the gambling is done through third partythird-party websites or mobile applications, an integration into the streaming services would offer a similar in-game betting opportunity to streamers and to Esports tournaments.
