Rather than simply looking at which matches attracted the most bets, the report explores what bettors were actually betting on, how their behaviour changed as the tournament progressed, and where the biggest commercial opportunities emerged for operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the standout findings is the continued rise of <strong>Bet Builders<\/strong>, which accounted for 39.6 per cent of all singles bets during the World Cup \u2013 almost double the 20.28 per cent recorded at UEFA Euro 2024. The report takes a closer look at which fixtures saw the strongest Bet Builder adoption and what this tells us about the growing role of multi-selection betting in football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The data also reveals a significant increase in <strong>stake size <\/strong>as the tournament reached its decisive stages. Average stakes rose from around \u20ac3-5 during the group stage to approximately \u20ac10-13 in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report examines the <strong>influence of fame, form and fan sentiment<\/strong> on betting behaviour. In player markets, meanwhile, the biggest names dominated betting interest, with Player Special market turnover reaching approximately 400 per cent of its Euro 2024 level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are just some of the findings explored in the document. <strong>The full report goes deeper into:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stake behaviour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bet Builder adoption<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Singles and multiples bets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Market preferences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Match-level turnover and bet counts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Outright markets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Goalscorer betting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The relationship between bettor attitudes and tournament outcomes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thanos Ntakis<\/strong>, account management director at <a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/altenars-case-study-winpots-sportsbook-growth-story-how-a-localised-trading-strategy-helped-scale-revenue-in-mexico\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/altenars-case-study-winpots-sportsbook-growth-story-how-a-localised-trading-strategy-helped-scale-revenue-in-mexico\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Altenar<\/a>, commented: \u201cThis data gives us a clear view of how betting behaviour evolved throughout the tournament: from the growing popularity of Bet Builders to the significant increase in stakes around the decisive fixtures.
