Skybet to launch new sportsbook in beta

I had a sneak peak at Skybet’s new sportsbook this week and it is going into beta preview next week (Feb 1st, 2010). It’s looks great and is fast! The navigation is nice and they have broken away from one of the longest running conventions in sportsbook design – the right hand side betslip.

It’s going to be a good year for Sportsbetting. Hopefully we’ll see even more great product launches but keep an eye on skybet.com for the beta preview link.

Fred even pops up with relevant markets during the action. The software was developed by live betting software specialist Boolabus using their Betstream framework.

The video below gives a sense of the data available and the user experience. Full team listings and formations are generated before the game. One of the nicest features is the goal alerts. If you are watching one game and goals or red cards from other games are flashed up on screen.
