United States: Sports Betting Industry is on the Rise

(15 April 2021) Since 2018, when US states were given the power to legalize sports betting, the annual revenue of the sports betting industry has increased by five times — from $0.3 billion in 2018 to $1.5 billion in 2020 according to data from SportsHandle. The COVID-19 pandemic undermined revenue growth in early 2020, but the industry had already recovered by September, largely due to the adoption of online betting.As of today, 20 US states have already launched online or retail legal sports betting, several other states have legalised the sports betting but not launched it yet and many states are in the first stages of considering legal sports betting. Experts estimate that if sports betting is legalised and launched in all 50 states, industry revenue will increase to around $20 billion a year. Some US state governments and sports leagues see sports betting as a good opportunity to increase tax revenues and profits in a subdued post-pandemic economy — one which stimulates the cooperation between sports leagues and gambling operators as well as the rise of new startups providing online betting services.

Forbes | Valuation of Major League Sport Teams Outperformed Equity Markets

(30 April 2021) According to the average team value estimates by Forbes, the valuation of sport teams in the "big three" major leagues — the NFL, MLB, and NBA — increased 5% in 2020, despite the attendance bans on many live sporting events and economic disruption caused by COVID-19. Over the last decade, the valuation of the three major leagues has increased by almost four times, outperforming the returns on the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average stock indices by 25% and 42%, respectively.  Experts identify television contracts as the biggest reason for the increase in major leagues sports team valuation in the 2010s. The beginning of the 2020s may be no less successful for the leagues, with growth facilitated by the ongoing adoption of legal sports betting in the US and cooperation between sports leagues and gambling operators.

Messi Postponing Farewell to Barcelona

Citing a €700 million contract release clause, however, Messi is staying. Expectations are that he will leave Barca next summer when his contract is due to expire.   The forward is a graduate of Barcelona, the top scorer in club history, and one of the most valuable players in the sport. Last season, 33-year-old Messi played in 44 matches for Barcelona, scoring 31 goals and making 26 assists.  As part of Barca, ​​Messi has won the Champions League four times.

Tour de France Statistics

The 104th Tour de France began July 1 in Düsseldorf, Germany and will end on the famous Champs-Elysees in Paris on July 23 after riders complete 21 stages and 3,540 km. Among the world’s most famous and prestigious cycling events, the Tour de France has been held each July since 1903.* A multi-stage race finishing in France but traversing neighboring countries, the Tour is organized around five stage types: flat, medium and high mountain, individual time, and intermediate sprint.The 2017 Tour includes 22 teams and 198 riders, continuing the trend of larger and larger starting fields in each Tour. In 1903, 60 cyclists competed and 21 finished the entire tour; last year, 198 competed and 174 finished.In just the fourth stage of this year’s tour, the International Cycling Union disqualified the reigning world champion—Slovak cyclist Peter Sagan of the German team Bora Hansgrohe—from the Tour for his role in a crash, eliminating a fan favorite for individual stage wins. Today’s viz features statistics about the Tour de France and its riders, along with comparisons to other major international races. Did you know:Longest Tour de France. In 1926, the tour was 5,745 km. The average distance for the Tour is more than 1,000 km less at 4236.61 km. Repeat winners of the Tour de France. Cyclists from France reign in terms of number of podium finishes, outstripping competitors from Belgium by more than double. Lance Armstrong was the leader in terms of individual top finishes before being stripped of his seven titles for doping. Four cyclists have each won five tours: Jacques Anquetil, Bernard Hinault, Miguel Indurain, and Eddy Merckx.Longest international race. While the Tour de France was the longest race of 2016, this year the Giro d'Italia is longer at 3,609 km. Over the 103-year history of the Tour de France, it was the longest international race in 86 of the years; only the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a Espana have had longer courses.Slowest international race. Based on the average speed of the race winners, the slowest major international race is the Gran Premio di Lugano, which is also one of the shortest races (185.6 km in 2017). Given the varying terrain, weather, and other factors that affect race times, however, there is no obvious relationship between the distance of a race and the average speed of the winners for major international races. * The Tour de France was suspended during each of the World Wars, from 1915 to 1918 and 1940 to 1946.

e-Sports: Mainstream Growth Means Big Money

Video games have grown in popularity to become one of the most popular forms of free time activities. Four out of five US households own a device used to play video games, according to research published in 2015 by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA). And, it’s not only students or stereotypical school-age guys participating in video games: the average game player in the US is 35 years old. For some players, video games are not only a pastime but also a way to earn money by participating in e-sport competitions. Today’s e-sport participants include a diverse array of professionals who prefer to earn money outside their day-jobs riding a tank or competing in archery events as an elf in a computer game. As the participant pool has expanded, e-Sport has become more mainstream and lucrative.Several educational institutions—including Chung-Ang University—have cybersport departments.Televisions broadcast stations around the world now cover e-Sport events. For instance, Twitch.tv has over 10 million viewers per day for its video game programming. e-Sport associations recognize cybersport as an official Olympic sport alongside other less traditional 'sports,' such as chess and automobile racing. Moreover, the US along with some countries of Europe and Asia recognize e-Sport as a sport for some official purposes. The United States will issue "professional athlete visas" to visa applicants traveling to the US for e-sport tournaments. And, in 2015, the Korean Olympic Committee accredited eSports as a 2nd-level Olympic sport.Total all-time e-sport earnings globally reached roughly $270 million earlier this year, nearly equal to the GDP of Micronesia, according to the latest GDP data from the World Bank.  The most successful games and e-sport teams stand to win significant prize money, especially as global audiences widen and grow. e-Sports are performed through organized tournaments between professional players from all over the world, each of whom is recruited for specific skills, such as reaction time, thinking outside the box, and other intellectual skills. Endurance plays a significant role given the intellectually taxing nature of honing the required skills for a given e-sport. Players from Asian countries lead in cybersports: China and South Korea rank among the top five spotsbased on total e-sport earnings.Earnings in cybersports tournaments have grown to values equal to or greater than traditional mainstream sports.  The 2014 FIFA World Cup prize pool was $358 million; the winning team receiving $35 million, or around $1.5 million per player. In comparison, a 5-member team took home $1.8 million each for winning International 2016-Dota 2, the largest cybersport event ever.Like traditional sports, the prize money is not the only money in the game; advertising, broadcasting, and sponsorship thrive in the e-sport world as well and will only grow as e-sport challenges classic sports to expand its audience base.  ___________________________ Whether this is your introduction to the cybersport concept or your an avid fan of or participant in e-sports, today’s viz of the day offers easy to use visualizations to orient you to the latest statistics about this growing modern sports genre. We feature the most popular video games played on e-sports competitions, with details on total prize money by country and the highest-earning national players, according to data from e-Sports Earnings, a community-driven competitive gaming resource. The e-Sports Earnings data covers players, countries, games, and tournaments on the basis of freely available public information, including historical data on video game competitions spanning the last two decades. The company manually updates tournament data daily.The data represents the sum over the entire period of tournaments.

Knoema’s Predictions for the Final Four and 2017 NCAA Championship

The 2017 NCAA Tournament has come to the Final Four: South Carolina vs Gonzaga and Oregon vs North Carolina. To predict which teams will win the Final Four match ups and the 2017 NCAA Championship, we once again turned to the data. Knoema's prediction:North Carolina wins the NCAA championship after defeating Oregon in the Final Four and South Carolina in the championship game. We base our predictions on the Championship Tournament Statistics from the NCAA. We developed an indicator of a team’s overall performance based on its average rank on 16 metrics, including scoring and rebounding margins, 3-point and field goal percentages, blocked shots, and assist/turnover ratio. Our indicator shows promise, predicting roughly 45 percent of the wins in the last nine NCAA championships.During this year’s NCAA Tournament, North Carolina bettered Oregon on 12 of the 16 indicators, with the best results in scoring and rebounding margins. South Carolina lacks a similar lead over Gonzaga: South Carolina is better on turnover margin, while Gonzaga outperforms on scoring defense.The majority of basketball commentators seem to agree North Carolina will beat Oregon, but predictions on the match up between Gonzaga and South Carolina vary.Our prediction coincides with the forecast given by Bill Reiter, the national columnist for BBS Sports. Don’t trust us or the experts. Dive in to the stats yourself, using the visualizations below to compare opponents on each of the 16 metrics.

Rio 2016 - Alternative Views of the Top Medal Winners

The United States, Great Britain, and China dominated the Rio 2016 Olympic medal count, taking home 258 medals, or roughly one quarter of the 974 medals awarded during the games. The trio were one gold short of a total of 100 golds among them.  As is true with all statistics, you can slice and dice the medal count in a number of ways to give shape to different stories about Olympic medal winners. The UK Telegraph published an alternative view of top medal winners on Monday, the data portion of which we’ve reproduced here to provide you with an interactive look at the medal winners of Rio 2016. The highlights: Islands on top, per capita. With a single medal each, Grenada and the Bahamas outshone countries worldwide based on per capita medal count. Bahamas’ single medal may shine a bit brighter for the dramatic finish that earned Shaunae Miller the gold in the women’s 400 meter as she dove across the line. US, China sunk in ratings by strong GDPs. The Telegraph’s medals per £100 billion in GDP measure sent some top medal winners to the bottom of the rankings. The US and China fell from 1st and 2nd to 74th and 75th, respectively. Azerbaijan #1 … per athlete. Ranked 14th by total medals, the 56-member team from Azerbaijan won 18 medals in Rio, or 0.3 medals per athlete. Russia and Great Britain - both among the top 10 in total medal count - also finished in the top 10 based on medals per athlete.

World Series Winners, 1903-2015

The World Series is the annual championship held every October by Major League Baseball (MLB). It pits the champion of the American League (AL) against the champion of the National League (NL) in a best-of-7 matchup. A little over two months into the new season, the relative strength of the 30 teams is beginning to come into focus and fans' dreams for their teams to reach the World Series are being tainted by the reality of the season. So, in today's Viz of the Day, we've brought you data for a quick look back through history at the big winners, leaders by club value, and even a few highlights of top earners in MLB. MLB quick stats:In only its second appearance in the World Series, the AL's Kansas City Royals won the 5-game 2015 World Series by defeating the NL's New York Mets in the fifth game with a final score of 7:2. The teams of the AL have won 64 of 111 Word Series to date. The New York Yankees - originally enfranchised in the AL in 1901 as the Baltimore Orioles - earned almost half of these wins (27) for the league. The Yankees have taken on long-time rival the Los Angeles Dodgers in 11 World Series and won the title in 8 of the matchups. The second-ranked team by the number of wins, the St. Louis Cardinals, is from the NL, but it has won only 11 World Series titles.The Yankees is the most valuable franchise among the 30 MLB teams, with a value of US$3.4 billion as of 2016, according to an estimate from Forbes. And, what about the Yankees' main competitor these days, the Dodgers? The Dodgers is valued at US$2.5 billion, the second most valuable franchise in MLB.Jon Lester, the pitcher for the NL's Chicago Cubs, is the highest-paid baseball player and 19th highest paid athlete in the world, with annual earnings of US$34.1 million as of 2015. From 2006 to 2014 he played for the Boston Red Sox and in 2014, for the Oakland Athletics. During his 10-year career in MLB, he played 290 games, during which he pitched 1,697 strikeouts.

EURO 2016: Composition of National Teams

The UEFA EURO 2016 kicked off last week with 24 national football teams competing during the next month for the title of continental champion of Europe. One question on the minds of fans, managers, and industry is how much team composition rules have influenced the performance of certain teams.Seventy-two percent of the players on the Spanish national team—winner of the two most recent championships, EURO 2012 and 2008—play for Spanish football clubs.  In fact, 11 out of 16 finalist teams from the last eight UEFA Euro championships have a current roster composed of a majority of players who play exclusively for domestic clubs. A player was historically permitted to represent any national team as long as he was a citizen of that country. In 2000, FIFA made national team eligibility rules more stringent to require a player demonstrate a "clear connection" to the team he wants to represent. A player meets the standard if he has been a resident for at least two years in the team country or has at least one parent or grandparent who was born in that country. Outside international competitions, each sportsman may continue to play under contract for any football club of choice unless otherwise restricted by the national team. Since clubs do not have a clear connection requirement, athletes may play in parallel for a country's national team and for another country's club. National team thresholds governing how many of their players may represent other countries' clubs, however, has de facto acted as a clear connection requirement. All members of the English national team play for English clubs.In contrast, no member of Northern Ireland's national team plays for domestic clubs, members generally preferring English clubs. Similarly, only one member of Albania's national team plays for an Albanian club, while the rest of the team plays for clubs of 13 different countries.  Does team composition directly influence national team performance in international competitions like the EURO 2016? Ultimately, national team composition shifts continuously, changing not only national club representation among the team but the skills, experience, and internal dynamics of the teams, requiring a more detailed analysis of team performance to understand the influence of FIFA’s “clear connection” requirement.

Stanley Cup Winners

The 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs have just kicked off and will run through early June when the fourth and final rounds will take place. Now is a good time to refresh our collective memory of the more than one-century history of the playoffs by looking at the winning teams and how often each team has taken the Stanley Cup home. Here are a few highlights: Top teams - O Canada. The absolute Stanley Cup champion team by number of wins is the Montreal Canadiens, which has won the title 24 times since 1893. Most of its wins came during the years from 1956 to 1966 when it won five consecutive titles under coach Hector 'Toe' Blake. The team's latest championship was in 1993. The team with the second highest number of Stanley Cup wins is also Canadian, the Toronto Maple Leafs, but it has not won the Stanley Cup since 1967. While the rankings in the Viz of the Day show the team as tied for total wins with the Detroit Red Wings, the Maple Leafs actually have two additional wins under other names: the "Toronto Arenas" (1918) and the "Toronto St. Pats" (1922). More recent showings - Good ol' USA.  In contrast to the top ranking of Canadian teams by total wins, US teams have a more recent winning record providing them momentum in the current playoffs. The Detroit Red Wings, the third team in the ranking, has won 11 titles, and lifted the trophy most recently in 2008. Another US team that has recently gained success is the Chicago Blackhawks. In 2015 it claimed its third title in the space of five years, bringing its total Stanley Cup wins to six.  Explore today's Viz of the Day in more detail below, including the number of Stanley Cups won by NHL teams since 1893, along with the name of the winning teams' coaches.
