Esports is already doing 80% of NHL's trading volume latest data from @DocsSports shows esports average volume *per game* is creeping up But Esports also has way more matches than the NFL # of listed matches : - NFL : 285 - League of Legends : 445 - Counter Strike 2 : 962 - Dota 2 : 358 So when adjusting for # of games we have the following volumes : - NFL : 1.4$B - Esports (LoL + CS + Dota) : 1.2$B Sports betting is a highly competitive industry with Syndicates that operate like quant desks on 9 figures budgets. Esports is about to get just as big and is essentially devoid of any institutional competition. It's a blue ocean ! If you are looking for a trading niche to specialize in, I would highly recommend investing so time in Esports
