Betting a head of Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix

That means you can now put your money where your mainsail is—DraftKings in the U.S. and Bet365 elsewhere will be taking bets on everything from fleet race winners to who’ll lift the championship silverware. Head-to-head showdowns? Finalists? Season champs? It’s all up for grabs, and it’s all powered by a swirling sea of data.

According to SailGP’s managing director, Andrew Thompson, the move is all about engagement: “We’re using the data that drives our sport to enhance how fans experience it—responsibly.” And when he says “data,” he’s not bluffing. The tech behind SailGP collects a wild 270,000 data points per second, creating live odds and probabilities faster than you can say “foiling gybe.”

Helping stitch this digital rigging together is Abelson Sports, with support from iGame Media, delivering low-latency broadcasts so punters and pundits alike can follow the action with barely a breath of delay.

Behind the spectacle is a fleet of identical 50-foot foiling catamarans, each representing one of 12 national teams, ripping along at over 60mph—yes, that’s faster than the wind itself. Add to that the tight, gladiatorial racecourses nestled close to shorelines, and you’ve got a new kind of regatta: part sailing, part motorsport, and part high-stakes chess match.

The next chapter unfolds in New York City this weekend, and the buzz is building. Tickets are moving fast—so whether you’re in the grandstands, glued to a screen, or quietly slipping a tenner on Team Australia to win the final, SailGP is offering more ways than ever to get in on the action.

Hold onto your hats. The sea’s never been this sharp. More info at: SailGP.com/betting
