Analyzing Huddle's Jaguars vs. Ravens Uptime Performance

In the final match of Week 15 on Sunday slate, the Baltimore Ravens secured a 23-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, maintaining their position at the top of the AFC. We tracked closely this prime time game, and our uptime performance, like Ravens defense, shines again!

During the game, Huddle vastly outperformed the market with only 6% suspension time compared to 14% as the market average. Through the entirety of the game, Huddle's superior markets had a downtime of 9 minutes and 50 seconds, while the market, on average, had a downtime of over 24 minutes.

The Huddle ecosystem allowed our partners to offer markets during the final moments of action, improving their user experience and increasing overall revenue.

For a sportsbook operator, "uptime" refers to the duration during which betting opportunities are available for users. In the context of a prime time game like Jaguars vs Ravens, if an operator extends the in-play betting by an additional 15 minutes, such as what Huddle offered in this scenario, it could significantly impact the operator's turnover. Specifically, with approximately $75 million already bet in-play during typical prime time game, the extension would result in an additional $5 million (aprox.) in turnover for a sportsbook, based on calculations.

This highlights the potential financial impact of optimizing the betting timeframe during high-profile games.

Now, consider the broader impact across the entire NFL season. If this additional betting amount is consistent across multiple games and and operator is utilizing Huddle's NFL pricing and trading, throughout the season, the cumulative impact becomes significant. The question arises: Can operators really afford to not pay significant attention to improved uptime? The financial implications suggest otherwise, emphasizing the critical role of improved uptime in the competitive landscape of sports betting.
