Although the number of women bettors continues to grow in Europe - more than 10% - it is indeed the male sex that should hurry this summer among our bookmakers friends. Thus, the typical bettor of the 2018 World Cup will be a man aged 35, single, passionate about football and wagering on average eleven euros per bet. Betting mostly on mobile, the latter wants more and more nomad and will not hesitate to bet from anywhere, at any time of the day. By depositing mainly by credit card (82%), he will use the applications available on the market to place his bets. Bets that will mostly concern pre-match bets (35% live betting only), on the final result of the matches. A portrait that ultimately remains in line with the trends observed since Euro 2016, during which the nomadic wager exploded in the Old Continent.
