At the 2025 French Open at Roland Garros, the red clay courts are not only a testing ground for players but also a tough battle for the backend transaction systems of betting companies. Facing the variables of five-set matches, frequent stalling tactics, and volatile odds, betting companies must precisely manage stability, risk control, and market response speed.
According to the latest research by Bettormetrics, Bet365 performed exceptionally well during this year's French Open, with a 96.1% uptime and only a 4.5% turnover loss rate, making it the most stable and strongest risk-controlling operator in the event. This means that during the most intense moments of match trading, Bet365 can operate continuously with minimal quote leaks and refusal rates.
FanDuel stands out in its pricing strategy, offering a 4.8% odds premium and reducing its exchange rate arbitrage exposure to 5.2%, the lowest in the industry. This demonstrates their efficiency in odds setting and precise execution of risk control.
Pinnacle continues to showcase its "precision first" pricing philosophy, having the lowest premium rate (2.3%) and the second lowest arbitrage rate (6.8%), but at the cost of only 77.9% uptime and lower order acceptance efficiency. This extreme strategy, while suitable for professional players, is prone to traffic loss under high-frequency trading.
Unibet's data is surprising: despite maintaining a 94.4% uptime, it bottoms out with a 17% turnover loss rate, indicating that its pricing strategy may not withstand trading pressures.
Other platforms have their own strengths and weaknesses: William Hill improved acceptance rates (88.2%) by reducing odds fluctuations, but slightly sacrificed uptime; DraftKings maintained a high online rate of 93.8% but exposed a 14.9% arbitrage risk, showing that its aggressive trading strategy has hidden risks in risk control.
Overall, the real winners are not the "cheap players" with the lowest odds, but the operators who find the right balance between stability and risk, and can continue to quote and trade during the most intense moments of the match. In this "invisible competition," Bet365 undoubtedly takes the crown.
