CURRENT SPORTS BETTING CLIMATE (NORTH AMERICA + GLOBAL)

1. Market Growth

Sports betting is still in a major expansion cycle in the United States, with more states legalizing and mobile wagering dominating.

2. In-Play Betting Is King

Live wagering has become the largest share of daily handle. Books prioritize real-time odds, micro-markets, and rapid-fire prop options.

3. Player Prop Explosion

Prop markets are exploding:

• Points, rebounds, assists

• Shots, goals

• Yards, receptions

• Touchdowns

• On-base props in baseball

• Serve props in tennis

Public bettors gravitate heavily to props because they feel intuitive and star-driven.

4. Increased Use of Predictive Analytics

Bettors and platforms (including yours, SportsBetting.dog) rely more on:

• Game simulations

• AI models

• Player prop simulators

• Market-edge detection

• Line-movement analysis

This creates a sophisticated environment where sharp bettors seek micro-edges.

5. High Competition Among Sportsbooks

Books fight over:

• Bonuses

• Odds boosts

• Loyalty programs

• Add-on features

Margins shrink, promos shrink, but product quality keeps rising.

6. Regulation Still Fragmented

State-by-state rules differ, tax rates vary wildly, and some states allow far more markets than others.

7. Bettor Behavior

Public tends to hammer:

• Overs

• Star players

• Favorites

• Parlays

• Same-game parlays

Sharps respond by targeting:

• Unders

• Secondary players

• Off-market prices

• Derivative lines

• Mispriced in-play prop
