Huddle’s robust technology consistently delivers uninterrupted access to odds and live betting options, driving both customer engagement and revenue. This edge becomes even more crucial during high-pressure periods like the NBA Conference Finals. In a recent analysis, we compared our platform uptime with a leading Tier 1 operators-and once again, Huddle came out ahead.

We also examined how frequently that same Tier 1 operator’s pricing aligned with Huddle’s pricing, providing insight into market efficiency and accuracy.

Finally, we broke down the business mix for NBA Same Game Parlays (SGP). A significant 72% of Same Game Parlay (SGP) bets came from Player Props, indicating a strong bettor preference for markets focused on individual player performance

Uptime Comparison: Huddle versus the Market

The bar chart highlights average uptime performance during the NBA Conference Finals:

• Huddle: 90% uptime
• Market (Tier 1 Operator Benchmark): 80% uptime

This 10% gap in uptime is significant, especially during high-traffic, high-stakes sporting events like the NBA playoffs. In the context of sports betting, every percentage point of uptime can translate into:

• More opportunities to capture in-play bets
• Improved bettor satisfaction due to uninterrupted access
• Higher revenue generation, as users are less likely to face disruptions or look elsewhere

Huddle's superior uptime shows a clear competitive edge in infrastructure reliability, making it a preferred choice for operators aiming to deliver consistent, real-time betting experiences.

This chart illustrates how often the market (a Tier 1 operator) adjusted their prices to align with Huddle's, depending on the percentage difference in pricing.

Key insights:

• Consistent pattern across all price difference ranges (3%–10%): In every bracket, the majority of instances resulted in a market adjustment to Huddle’s price, typically over 80% of the time.
• Higher alignment with larger market differences: As the pricing discrepancy increases, the likelihood of the market adjusting to Huddle increases, showing that Huddle's prices are seen as more accurate, especially when variance is significant.

SGP Mix: Player Props Dominance

Key Takeaways:

1. Dominance of Player Props:
   A significant 72% of Same Game Parlay (SGP) bets came from Player Props, indicating a strong bettor preference for markets focused on individual player performance (e.g., points, rebounds, assists). This reflects a broader trend in the sports betting industry where personalized, performance-based markets are becoming more popular, especially during high-stakes games like the NBA Conference Finals.

1. Core and Derivatives Underrepresented:
   The remaining 28% came from traditional betting markets and derivatives (e.g., game outcomes, spreads, totals). While still important, these markets play a secondary role in SGP engagement during these events.
