NEW YORK – It looks like NBC may be joining the sports betting world after the success of its highly popular Sports Predictor App.

The Sports Predictor App launched in December of 2018, and since then has garnered over 1 million accounts. The app is free and awards prize money to fans who manage to make correct predictions. The app almost works as a precursor to a full-fledged sports betting app.

FOX has a similar predictor app, FOX Sports Super 6, and went on to create the full-fledged sports betting app, FOX Bet.

Sports Predictors Huge Success

The inspiration behind creating the Sports Predictor App came from NBC recognizing the success that the U.K.’s Sky Sports had with their Sky Sports Super 6.

The app was used for fans to earn money by correctly predicting outcomes of matches in the Premier League. Through their partnership with Sky Sports, NBC was able to recognize the clear market for this kind of technology.

When speaking on the decision to launch Sports Predictor, NBC’s director of sports betting content Dan Pozner said “Millions of people play Super 6 every weekend, so we thought it would be a great way to complement our Premier League rights in the U.S.”

The Sports Predictor App was then launched in December 2018 with one contest. Soccer fans had the chance to win cash prizes by predicting the results of five matches in the Premier League.

Since the launch, NBC has added other sports to the Sports Predictor app such as NFL, NASCAR, and the PGA Tour, all sports that air on NBC.

The app has garnered over one million accounts and has given NBC optimism with moving forward into the realm of sports betting. Over 50% of users play more than one game and on average check the app seven times a week.

Other Networks In Sports Betting

NBC wouldn’t be the first network to throw its hat in the sports betting arena. FOX has a similar predictor app known as FOX Sports Super 6 as well as the sports betting app FOX Bet.

FOX has seen success with their FOX Bet app, currently being live in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. As they are the networks who air the sporting events, it makes sense for NBC and FOX to want to get in on the sports betting action.

Other networks have also begun making moves into the legal sports betting industry. ESPN has recently struck a content-based deal with Caesars Entertainment. Turner Sports and Bleacher Report also struck a similar sports betting content deal with the gambling giant.

This is just the early stages of networks getting in on the sports betting craze. NBC likely won’t want to miss out on all the potential revenue with the increase in wagering on sports across the U.S.

Sports Betting Making Billions

It is estimated by Delloite that sports betting dollars could reach up to $287 billion by 2021 with total sportsbook revenue topping $4.6 billion. Currently, the industry has reached $4.9 billion with $800 million in sportsbook revenue.

The future of sports betting is a bright one. Users of NBC’s Sports Predictor App will have to wait and see how far NBC will go.

Perhaps no team has been more fun to follow during the NHL playoffs than the Vancouver Canucks, and hockey bettors can still get the Canucks at +1,300 to hoist Lord Stanley’s cup. Vancouver is coming off a thrilling series win against the defending champion St. Louis Blues, but now a much more difficult challenge awaits. The Vegas Golden Knights are +350 favorites to win it all, and they’ve certainly looked the part while dropping only one playoff contest.

Game 1 of this series gets underway Sunday, so we’re here to bring you our NHL picks and predictions in this Western Conference semifinal showdown.

Vancouver Canucks vs Vegas Golden Knights betting preview

Starting Goalies

Canucks:Jacob Markstrom – playoffs – 7-3, 2.44 GAA, .929 SV% (season – 23-16, 2.75 GAA, .918 SV%)

Golden Knights:Robin Lehner – playoffs – 5-1, 2.44 GAA, .904 SV% (season – 19-10, 2.89, .920 SV%)

If this game was actually played in Las Vegas, then Markstrom could easily spend a few hours performing with Cirque du Soleil. The 30-year-old dazzled against Blues with an eye-opening array of acrobatic saves and an impressive 7-3 record. He’ll need to provide more of the same against a dangerous Vegas squad.

The Knights will likely roll with Robin Lehner, who has taken over the spot as Vegas’s starter in the crease—and rightfully so. Still, the Knights have the luxury of having Marc-Andre Fleury as their “backup.” The five-time All-Star matched an NHL record this season with his 14th consecutive playoff appearance.

Injuries

Vancouver: Tyler Myers D (out), Tyler Toffoli RW (out), Micheal Ferland LW (out), Josh Leivo LW (out)

Vegas: Tomas Nosek LW (out)

Betting Trend to Know

Canucks are 0-6 in their last six Sunday games. Find the latest NHL betting trends for Canucks vs. Golden Knights.

MONEYLINE PICK

The Canucks have been a force with the extra man during the postseason, converting 26.2% of their power plays. While the Knights are known for their offensive firepower, it’s their stingy defense that allows them to suffocate opponents—as evidenced by an 86.4% penalty kill during their playoff run. Vancouver is the only team in the league to never beat Vegas in regulation, going 0-11 all time. That’s something I just can’t ignore.

PREDICTION: Vegas ML (-175)

OVER/UNDER PICK

Each team is filled with loads of offensive talent. Vancouver’s Bo Horvat and J.T. Miller have combined for 11 goals thus far. Elias Pettersson has racked up 13 points, tied with Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon for the playoff lead.

The Knights can match Vancouver’s scorers, but they’re more balanced—Shea Theodore, Alex Tuch and Mark Stone have each lit the lamp four times during the postseason. The difference is on defense, where Vancouver has allowed the most high-danger chances of all remaining playoff teams.

PREDICTION: Over 5.5 (-110)

PROP PICK

Though I like Vegas to win, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Canucks kept it close and continued their offensive success. I’ll take a flyer on Vancouver scoring at least three goals.

PREDICTION: Canucks total goals Over 2.5 (-100)
