Who is it?

Omer Dor, CEO, Sports IQ

Russell Karp, Vice President, DataArt

Joseph Solosky, Advisor to the Board, DataArt

Kevin Twitchell, Advisor to the Board, DataArt

What is being said?

Twitchell: “As they say in the media world, everything is on two screens now. Everybody is looking at two screens at the same time. You’re participating in the ecosystem of entertainment at all times.”

Dor on political prop bets: “We saw bets with the US election, who’s going to win the election? There are groups who focus exclusively on that. In fact, I know that there are operators which we would classify as ‘sportsbooks’ that all the action they take is actually on political betting, it has nothing to do with sports. 

“If we use that same analogy about the classification of prop bets then I would say who’s going to win Florida, who’s going to win Georgia.

“I think all of those would be categorised under prop bets and so I certainly think that so long as people have interest in something and there’s enough data to be able to create engaging products around that, then you can create prop bets.”
