Technological advancements

The instructor, Fabio Tiberia, highlights that "one of the most transformative aspects has been technological evolution, especially concerning the fluidity in data processing. The ability to process large volumes of information in real-time has completely transformed the user experience, making it faster, immediate, and interactive."

He believes that advances in payment systems have also played a crucial role, significantly simplifying deposit (pay-in) and withdrawal (pay-out) processes. "This has not only streamlined financial transactions, making them more efficient, but also increased users' confidence in the system by ensuring that their financial needs are met quickly and securely."

By highlighting important points to be addressed in the course, Tiberia states that "when analyzing the evolution of sports betting, especially considering technological advances and the application of detailed statistical analysis, we observe a significant transformation in the sector," which is why he invites interested parties to register for the event.

"Particularly, the reduction in the sportsbook's mark-up, or profit margin, which traditionally ranged from 112-115% and now stands between 101-105% for large-scale events such as Serie A, the Champions League, and the World Cup, is a clear indication of this change. Therefore, it is essential for those interested in operating in our industry to be aware of these changes."

He asserts that "this adjustment in the profit margin reflects not only increased competition among operators, aiming to offer more attractive odds to bettors, but also a change in the nature of sports betting itself. With narrower margins, the outcome of bets begins to depend more significantly on the bettor's skill and knowledge about the sport, teams, and game conditions, rather than the luck factor traditionally associated with gambling."

These and other issues are designed to delve into the experience and vision of Fabio Tiberia, not only reviewing his remarkable experience in the sports betting sector but also exploring his expectations for innovation and future evolution of sportsbook platforms, anticipating the trends that will shape the market in the coming years.

All of this and much more will be available in the complete course "Online Sports Betting" from the Gaming Operation Academy. With a certificate to be issued upon completion of the workload, as well as mentoring. After level 1, the Gaming Operation Academy will announce dates and contents of the intermediate and advanced stages, which may be conducted in person due to numerous practical experiences.
