Tipico Sportsbook announces Colorado as technology hub

Looking at the details surrounding Tipico Sportsbook choosing Colorado as its new technology hub.

Tipico Sportsbook and the Colorado Office of Economic Development announced Tuesday that Tipico has chosen Colorado as the home of its new technology hub. The sportsbook, one of the largest sports betting companies in the world, expects as many as 441 jobs to be brought to the area over the next eight years.

“We are thrilled to announce, in partnership with Governor (Jared) Polis, our intention to establish a Tipico Sportsbook technology hub in Denver,” said Adrian Vella, Tipico US Chief Executive Officer. “From the world-class universities and collaborative technology community, down to the well-documented high quality of life in the state, every metric during our nation-wide search pointed us right to Colorado. Now that football season is here and our sportsbook is live in the state, we’re confident that the deep pool of technology talent in Colorado will help us take the Tipico brand to the next level in the U.S.”

The added jobs are expected to have an average wage exceeding $96,000. Positions will range from technology roles to marketing, finance and customer service.

“Colorado voters voted to make Colorado one of the first states to legalize sports betting and use the revenue generated to protect our way of life and precious water resources that support our outdoor recreation economy and agricultural community,” said Governor Polis. “This move proves what we already know: Colorado is the best place to live and work and 441 new jobs will be created in Colorado thanks to this voter-driven decision.”

Away from home, Saints are Week 1 underdogs vs. Packers

[mm-video type=playlist id=01eqbyahgz6p2j3xp7 player_id=none image=https://saintswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

The New Orleans Saints’ regular season kickoff is going to look weird. They’re “hosting” the Green Bay Packers all the way out in Jacksonville, at the Jaguars’ TIAA Bank Field due to the impacts of Hurricane Ida on New Orleans. While previous listings from oddsmakers gave the Saints a homefield advantage against Green Bay at the Caesars Superdome, the game’s relocation puts the Saints in a tough spot.

Tipico Sportsbook has the Saints opening as underdogs, with the visiting Packers favored to win by 4.5 points. The over/under of 50.5 projects a final tally in the neighborhood of Green Bay 28, New Orleans 23. That would be a seven-point drop for the Saints over their regular season scoring average the last three years (30.1), as well as the total they scored against the Packers in last season’s matchup (a 38-30 loss at home).

It’s not unwarranted, though. Jameis Winston has his work cut out for him against a Packers defense eager to prove themselves. Winston will be working without his best wide receiver while Michael Thomas continues to recover from offseason ankle surgery, meaning second-year pro Marquez Callaway has the unenviable task of running against Green Bay’s best cover corner Jaire Alexander (who won Pro Bowl and All-Pro second team recognition a year ago). And that doesn’t even get into the challenge New Orleans’ defense faces in Aaron Rodgers and his strong supporting cast.

Oddly, all three of the other NFC South squads are favored to win this week. Sam Darnold and the Carolina Panthers are 5.5-point favorites against his old New York Jets team. The Atlanta Falcons have an easy (on paper) matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles, which they are favored to win by 3.5 points. And the reigning Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, of course, are 7.5-point favorites over the visiting Dallas Cowboys in the 2021 season opener — can both teams lose that one?

Tipico Sportsbook goes live in Colorado

Looking into the details surrounding the launch of Tipico Sportsbook in Colorado.

Tipico Sportsbook, the exclusive sports betting and iGaming provider for USA TODAY parent company Gannett, is now operating in Colorado.

The Colorado launch marks the company’s second U.S. state after it went live in New Jersey in December. Tipico Sportsbook was able to expand into Colorado through support from Century Casinos, Inc., a Colorado-based gaming company.

“We are thrilled to announce Tipico’s continued growth within the United States,” Adrian Vella, CEO of Tipico U.S., said in a release. “We look forward to continuing to grow our U.S. footprint with exciting announcements in the pipeline that will change the game for avid sports fans and bettors.”

Tipico is a U.S. sportsbook originally founded in Europe in 2004.

Users can download the app at the Apple and Google Play stores and begin placing bets on a variety of leagues. Tipico allows users to wager on live sports markets across the globe, with odds managed by the company’s in-house trading team.

Tipico, the leading sports betting provider in Germany and one of the top sports betting companies worldwide, said it plans to expand into other U.S. states in the coming months. The sportsbook offers digital and mobile betting entertainment across 30 different sports.

Tipico USA Technology announced an exclusive agreement with Gannett Co. in July to provide new sports betting content throughout the USA TODAY Network.

“Century Casinos is thrilled to welcome Tipico Sportsbook to Colorado, and we’re honored to partner with them to introduce Colorado’s legendary sports faithful to their new home for sports betting action,” said Erwin Haitzmann and Peter Hoetzinger, co-CEOs of Century Casinos. “Tipico is a seasoned global operator with a track record of delivering reliable, high-quality products, which pairs perfectly with the casino experience we offer Colorado players.”

Saints are unfortunate home underdogs vs. Packers in Week 1

The Saints are considered home underdogs to open the 2021 season, with the visiting Packers favored for Week 1 by Tipico Sportsbook:

[mm-video type=playlist id=01eqbyahgz6p2j3xp7 player_id=none image=https://saintswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

Just how successful will the New Orleans Saints be this season? Oddsmakers aren’t expecting much of them, at least in their season-opening home game with the Green Bay Packers.

According to Tipico Sportsbook, Green Bay is favored for that Sept. 12 kickoff at Caesars Superdome (on FOX at 3:25 p.m. CT) — by 2.5 points, nearly a field goal. Odds were widely unavailable over the summer during Aaron Rodgers’ prolonged absence, but now that he’s leading the Packers again there appears to be little confidence in the Saints.

That isn’t too shocking considering Rodgers’ squad got away with a 37-30 win last season when they visited New Orleans. Tipico’s over/under for the follow-up has been set at 50.5 points, which is tied for the sixth-highest scoring game of Week 1.

Last year, the Saints ranked fifth around the league with 30.1 points scored per game. Green Bay ranked best in the NFL with a 31.8 per-game scoring output (which, combined, equals a weekly average of 61.9).

We’ll see if New Orleans can cook up similar production without Drew Brees, Michael Thomas, Wil Lutz, potentially Deonte Harris, and neither of last year’s co-starters at tight end. They may need even more from Alvin Kamara than the 197 scrimmage yards and pair of touchdowns he contributed last year. Whether it’s Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill starting under center against Rodgers, here’s hoping they and their supporting cast are up to the challenge.

Advice and prediction

We are going to see everybody’s A game and with the home crowd backing up the Nets, Joe Harris particularly will be able to find that much needed confidence to break out of his shooting slump. His impact will be the most important factor in this game. Shooters shoot no matter what and I expect Harris to show the world how elite of a shooter he really is by finding his rhythm despite the great defense Milwaukee has been playing on him. This should be enough get Brooklyn over the hump. Home teams are the overwhelming favorites historically in Game 7s. Take the Nets -1.5.

Prediction: Nets 118, Bucks 106

The Brooklyn Nets play the Boston Celtics on Saturday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.

Advice and prediction

With no minute restriction on James Harden, Kevin Durant most likely getting his minutes ramped up and overall the Nets being healthy there shouldn’t be a reason to not take the Nets -8. It’s hard to not see at least two of the three players on Brooklyn’s big three go for 30 points. The depth for the Nets will also be incredible amidst Chris Chiozza’s return.

Prediction: Nets 128, Celtics 106

Saints schedule ranked among 10 toughest based on projected win totals

The New Orleans Saints have one of the toughest 2021 strength of schedules based off of projected win totals, but they’ll be ready for it.

[mm-video type=playlist id=01eqbyahgz6p2j3xp7 player_id=none image=https://saintswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

The NFL is preparing to put on a show for its 2021 schedule release in prime time on Wednesday night, but the New Orleans Saints already know their opponents. And it’s a tough slate: seven of their 17 games will be played against 2020 playoff teams, including two divisional matchups with the Super Bowl champion Buccaneers (plus tilts with the Bills, Titans, Packers, Seahawks, and Washington). And four of those games will be played away from the Superdome.

Pro Football Network crunched the numbers and found that the Saints are tied with Washington for the seventh-toughest strength of schedule in 2021. But New Orleans is well equipped for the challenge. Of the teams ranked within the top ten, only the Rams (tied for ninth) are projected to win more games than the Saints.

BetMGM has the Saints with nine projected wins, which places well amongst their peers. It’s worth remembering that while the Saints do have a challenging schedule ahead of them, they’ll be a tough out for every other team they face, too.
