Don't the bookies have La Liga, Serie A for UK customers at much less delay already, or is the Eleven Sports deal exclusive thus stopping that?
I just looked at the B365 schedule and it says theyre showing the juventus and espanyol games on sat, now all I need is a 365 account

I'm sure they do but I'm talking about the mug punter who likes to bet while watching the match, there's a reason why the ads during live footy are full of bookie ads. Bookies might lose a lot of revenue from those mugs and might do something about it, hopefully.
I haven't seen any of their streams but I heard that they were almost 2 mins behind in the golf. That is way slower than Sky. They were 70 secs behind live for the Barca v Boca friendly the other night. Sky are more like 10 secs behind for footy.

just had a quick look at bein sports and it p*sses all over sky sports. sky seem to think their product is the best thing in the world but it is increasingly far from it. unfortunately be in sports isn't available in the uk unless you stream it ilegally. hey ho
I've been watching bein for 2 years now on the 'dodgy' and it has a great selection of football, particularly at the weekend.

Delay of about 50 seconds behind live tonight on Roma game.
50 seconds just isnt acceptable, if 365 can pump out the pics so close to real time how the hell cant these cowboys

Eleven Sports isn't aimed at Billy Bunters. Gamblers can get the leagues elsewhere. Their target audience is sport nerds who don't care about 50 second delays. DAZN is the same, they don't always cache live.
where can u get them elsewhere in HD quality with minimal delay? or are u meaning watching on the low quality streams

If Eleven Sports was a serious player they would have a channel on the Sky platform. I doubt they will be around for long.
apparently theyre in discussions with sky for a channel but have been saying this for nearly 3 weeks, cant be that hard to negotiate surely!

All these rules about competition meant to be setup to benefit the consumer, what is the benefit in the pay-TV/streaming market exactly. The market is coming so fragmented it's a joke really, like how many subscriptions are people expected to have now? And not like Sky/BT's prices ever go down after losing something, still only go upwards.
In this case the consumers are the people providing the sport. Was never meant to be anything else.

Does anyone know what they have paid for the UK rights they own ?I'm guessing £33M pa.So at £6 a month they will need near 500k subscriptions to make anything back.I'd guess a clasico would get about 500k viewers in UK. A regular Barca or Real game maybe 200k and too small to register for other games.But that would be Sky/Virgin subscribers. Many of those will simply not have bothered with this.I cannot see anything other than a big loss. Perhaps they make enough profit in other countries to cover it and just see this as a 'loss leader' type venture to get brand recognition in the UK.
Turns out they got 50k subscriptions so about 10% of what they needed to make a profit
