Football betting gets a boost after Corona break

CHENNAI: Football betting will get a boost upon the resumption of English Premier League on June 17 with the match between Manchester City and Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.


Ireland's largest independent bookmaker BoyleSports will team up with Opta - a sports analytics company which provides data for 30 sports in over 70 countries - to launch a new data service, opening up a new range of betting opportunities for customers ahead of the restart of

EPL

this month.

The partnership will see an addition of a wide range of pre-live and in-play stats-based markets to football matches in the major leagues across the world, offering customers unique opportunities based on specific metrics such as shots, shots on target, assists, passes, tackles and more.

New pre-live widgets will provide customers with key details including match statistics, facts, team line-ups and player information and will be complimented by brand new in-play visualisations, as well as a live match centre providing instant score updates.

Leon Blanche, Head of Communications for BoyleSports, feels this will open a lot of avenues in the world of betting. "Trawling through the statistics has become an integral part of the modern betting experience and this enhancement will allow us to offer the largest number of stats-based markets available in the industry," Blance said.

"Today's football fan is looking at more than just goals and we firmly believe that our partnership with Opta will make their betting experience both easier and much better informed," Blance further adds.
