The third SBC Betting on Football Conference is back at the home of Arsenal FC Emirates Stadium on April 21st.
Football and betting is as inevitable as peanut butter and jelly, as football remains the world’s most popular wagering sport. Any sportsbook knows that the key to having a successful sports betting operation is to understand the nuances on and off the pitch. Which is why this year, more than 500 industry professionals are expected to attend SBC’s event in preparation for one of the biggest sporting events in the world, the 2016 UEFA European Championship.
Euro 2016 will be held from June 10 to July 10 in France. For the first time it will be contested by 24 teams, having been expanded from the 16-team format.
The championship has been played every four years since 1960 and Germany and Spain have been the most successful teams to date with three gold medals each. Spain won the last two tournaments in Schweiz/Austria and Poland/Ukraine.
According to William Hill, France is the favorite to win at 11/4 followed by Germany at 10/3. Spain is at 11/2 and Belgium is at 10/1.
“The Euros will be the biggest business opportunity for bookmakers in 2016, not just for player acquisition but for boosting trade during the following club football season,” said Andrew McCarron, Managing Director of SBC. “#BOFCON is the best way to make sure you are on the right track for the multitude of money making opportunities that Euro 2016 will provide, all for the outlay of a few hundred pounds. We believe that provides value for money unlike any other conference in the industry.”
A limited number of early bird tickets for #bofcon are still available at half price in February and cost just £200+vat. Tickets include breakfast, lunch and evening meals, networking drinks, dedicated networking areas, an expo hall with innovative product display, gaming area, competitions, and much more.
