detailed live player stats for thousands of matches per year
What have bet365 done?
Leverage our real-time Opta data feeds to display detailed player statistics in their event console including shots, passes, tackles, and each player’s Opta expected goals (xG) totals. Event pages are some of the most visited pages for live bettors on bet365.
What experience does this create?
Displaying live player stats on event pages has become a necessity for sportsbooks – with the growth in popularity of player stats markets, it is important that bettors can track player performances across various stat categories to see how their bet is progressing. This helps bettors make data-driven decisions on various in-play betting markets without having to switch to another application. Opta were proud to help bet365 become the first sportsbook to have real-time player xG on their sportsbook’s event page during the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
If you’re interested in displaying real-time, detailed player stats, integrate our brand-new Content Player Pro – you can find more information on this along with customer examples on our interactive product finder.
A MEASURE OF THE QUALITY OF CHANCES CREATED
What have Betano done?
We calculate the expected goals (xG) of every shot for more than 300+ competitions in near real-time. Recently, Betano have added in-play Opta team expected goals totals to their in-play event pages under the match score to give their users the most accurate contextual overview of a team’s in-play chance-creation quality.
What experience does this create?
The savvy placement of this ensures every bettor visiting Betano’s event page can quickly check the score of the match and the corresponding expected goals total to understand the true context of a game. They can see which team has made the most of their chances by overperforming or underperforming their overall xG, and this helps them make more informed betting decisions on various in-play and outright markets.
