Financial trading technology firm Stratagem has moved to enhance its presence in the sports betting sector by launching a new trading platform for the sports predictions market.
‘StrataBet’ enables users to access quality research and millions of data points that clarify their view of live sports events.
Using information from more than 50 trading experts, the new platform offers qualitative and quantitative match data such as team news and tactics in order to minimise exposure on traditional markets including total goals and handicaps.
StrataBet also allows users to trade markets directly onto the Matchbook betting exchange, with the two companies having signed an exclusive deal to launch the product.
Markets available on the platform will initially comprise 15 European football competitions, with a roll-out of the product for other sports expected next year.
Andreas Koukorinis, founder and chief executive of Stratagem, said: “We aim to catalyse a technological revolution and be trend-setters in sports trading.
“We would like to become an investment bank for the industry with scaled trading and asset management and a self-sustained research division.
“StrataBet is a one-stop destination that marries relevant, proprietary sports data with expert analysis, before linking users with betting exchanges and bookmakers.
“Odds compilers at those bookmakers have enjoyed data feeds for years. But there is currently very little of the statistical infrastructure that you would expect to find in a mature financial market available to the man in the street.
“StrataBet fills that gap and will ensure that a wager on the weekend’s football becomes less of a gamble and more of an investment.”
