New Service for Sporting Solutions

In-play rugby union service in anticipation of Rugby World Cup A novelty announced this week at the Sporting Index Group's B2B trading and pricing division Sporting Solutions involves a new in-play rugby union service that will be launched ahead of this year's Rugby World Cup. As for the service's features, they include in-play price updates on all forty-eight Rugby World Cup matches, encompassing a range from simple match odds to the next team to score a try. The company will allow bookmakers to outsource their in-play betting on twenty-two sports. It has been assessed by Dave Grogan, Business Development Director, Sporting Solutions: “Rugby is a great in-play sport, but it is one that is both difficult and expensive to model and price up. Our unique in-play service marries modelling, pricing and trading expertise, to provide a flexible and cost effective outsource solution for sportsbooks. “We're really looking forward to the Rugby World Cup – tournaments like this are where our traders excel, as they produce their own prices and don't follow the crowd or rely on a purely algorithmic price. Unexpected weather conditions are bound to have a big impact in New Zealand and the traders will be rapidly moving prices according to tactical game changes to ensure price accuracy.”
