00:00 You may have heard there's a big football game a couple weeks out.
00:03 Talk to me about that.
00:04 I'm not familiar.
00:05 I think it's called the Super Bowl.
00:06 It's a big football.
00:07 It's a whole thing.
00:08 I know Taylor Swift will be there.
00:09 What is the, talk to me about some of the trends overall you're seeing in terms of either
00:13 the types of wagers you're seeing or the new types of offerings that even first-time fans
00:17 will be able to take advantage of in the run-up to the big game.
00:20 Well, I can confidently say it's going to be the biggest game in the history of betting,
00:25 likely globally, certainly in the United States.
00:28 So just a little bit of context, we recently had the conference championships where the
00:32 49ers and the Chiefs made their way into the Super Bowl.
00:36 That day, FanDuel took more handle, more betting than we did in the Super Bowl last year.
00:42 And so in terms of anticipating in a couple weeks what we expect to see at the Super Bowl,
00:46 it will break all records, not just here in America, but really internationally for the
00:50 amount of wagering taking place on one game.
00:52 There really is nothing like the Super Bowl.
00:54 You know, look, in terms of the wagers that you'll expect to see, we'll have over 600
00:59 different markets, meaning things that you can bet on.
01:01 That's more than any other sportsbook in America.
01:03 A very popular one is who will score the first touchdown.
01:07 And on that market, I can say the Swifty Effect is in full run.
01:12 Travis Kelsey is the number one player.
01:14 Pick to score the first touchdown in just a couple weeks here in the Super Bowl.
