London-based betting supplier RPM has introduced upgraded versions of its Pace and Edge cricket services ahead of the Australian Big Bash League season, which opens in India for the first time. BBL|16 begins in Chennai on 12 December, when Melbourne Renegades play defending champions Perth Scorchers.
The two feeds
- Pace is a direct data feed from the stadium.
- Edge is RPM’s proprietary pricing feed. It takes local conditions, including temperature, humidity and wind, into account.
- Both are API-ready and come with operational consoles.
- RPM says ball tracking is delivered with effectively zero latency (0.01s), and that its pricing is modelled on more than 11m deliveries, with historical and live statistics for traders.
RPM says the services are designed to close latency gaps that erode profitability during volatile T20 matches, and to protect operator margins during spikes in turnover over the six-week tournament. The BBL is followed by the IPL, and the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup takes place in October 2027.
What they said
Richard Thorp, Founder at RPM, said:
“It’s critical that operators are well-equipped going into the busiest period of the cricketing calendar, featuring an amped-up BBL tournament with hundreds of millions of Indian fans more engaged than ever. Legacy pricing latency is a surefire way to bleed margin on record turnover; whereas our proprietary Edge and Pace feeds are proven to make the most of these opportune moments.
“Built strictly for the bottom line, these services give trading teams the speed they need to confidently execute high-volume action, pre-match and in-play, rather than spending their time mitigating risk. Together, they provide a potent combination that can be transformative for cricket performance whatever the trading strategy, geography, or target audience.”
Next sports
RPM also confirmed that Edge will expand to cover tennis and football, with US sports to follow.
