Anything that delays the broadcast reduces live betting. For this point to hold water, the delay would have to be so large that someone at the live event in Paris would have some communication link open with someone back here in the US sitting at a sports book, tell them "bet on ___ now!!", and the person has enough time to lock in the bet before everyone sees what happens and starts betting and the odds start shifting. Just seems very unlikely. |

And the scores are updating on the sportsbook apps much faster than if you're watching pretty much any kind of stream. |

So you're saying the claim that a (slightly) delayed stream would reduce live betting on that match, is likely not correct? The numbers would depend on the sport and exactly what sort of live betting is being offered, but I think that people watching on a delay of 30+ seconds would be less likely to bet. If you're following along in a sportsbook app, you'd be having the live event spoiled for you constantly. Look up "courtsiding," which has happened a lot in tennis. Theoretically you could bet from an event, but that may be illegal (depending on the jurisdiction) and tennis in particular has taken various efforts to prevent it. If you are physically located anywhere other than the event venue, you're probably not going to be getting the results as quickly as the sportsbooks are. |

Is the main motivation in watching the match to bet (and ostensibly to make money) or to watch the match? I don't think you can have it both ways.
If you want to bet, and the best way to do that is to follow along on the live betting app ... then motivated bettors will do that.

If they are sending 4 to cover beach, why not pick teams that can do both, not hard, and have them do indoor and beach. Since we are really only talking US teams, and the men are unlikely to last long, this seems feasible

Just seems very unlikely. I think the issue is the betting on a play is cut off at a certain point, like the toss for serve. If draftkings has to close betting before viewers get to see the previous play it makes it hard to bet on, so they just stop watching and that reduces the number of viewers. Running it through a studio in Connecticut would seem to eat into those windows. Then again, whatever is on tape delay, or streaming, wasn't going to give the gamblers those windows anyway. |
