Zero Latency Podcast with Huddle’s SVP of Trading, Tom Daniel: Why Sportsbooks Are Buying Not Building Pricing Expertise

The latest Zero Latency podcast by Eilers and Krejcik is now live, featuring an in-depth conversation with Tom Daniel, SVP of Trading at Huddle. In this episode, Tom explores the rapidly evolving landscape of sports betting and delves into key industry trends shaping the future.

One of the highlights of the discussion is Tom’s take on why major sportsbooks are increasingly opting to acquire companies like Angstrom, Banach, and SimpleBet rather than developing these capabilities in-house.

Tom also addresses the shifting demands on B2B sportsbook providers, reflecting on how these changes are driving innovation and impacting the services they offer. He shares his perspective on how these providers must adapt to meet the ever-evolving needs of their clients.

Finally, Tom discusses the critical balance between automation and human intervention in trading operations. He explains how sportsbooks can leverage advanced models while still relying on the expertise of human traders to ensure accuracy, responsiveness, and a superior user experience. Much of this was discussed in yesterday's whitepaper.

This podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of technology and human insight in the sports betting industry.
