Assignment 12 - Buyer Behavior


Segment: The segment I am targeting is the sport gambler consumer.

Interview: I interviewed 3 individuals, all relatively avid sport gamblers. Interviewee one was a 26 year old male that said he participates in sport gambling “probably about 5 nights a week.” Interviewee two was a 41 year old male that said he participates in sports gambling by betting “usually 3-5 nights a week, but it definitely changes depending on the kinds of games that night.” Interviewee three was a 21 year old male that said he participates in sport gambling “periodically, some weeks it’s a lot more than others, where some weeks it is not all”

Need awareness: I would say all 3 of the these individuals have the need for it, but the degree of the need varies. Interviewee three was more new onto the sports scene and gambled at sporadic periods of time, which is really common among new gamblers. The other 2 interviewees were not as new, but still have the need for my service as they said they bet based off feel of who they think will win or how many points they will score. Also all 3 interviewees said that they usually bet different amounts each time based off how they feel the game is going to go.

Info search: Both interviewee one and interviewee three said they had seen on Instagram a few different sport gambling accounts and sometimes they will scroll through the comments to see what people are thinking for the game. Interviewee two said he asks his friends that are also into sports gambling and sports in general what they think. All 3 interviewees said they use sites like ESPN as sources of sports knowledge to help them decide who to gamble on.

Conclusion: I think this segment of consumers typically recognize they have a need for my service, but they just go research and see what ESPN experts and their friends have to say. They said it would be helpful if they had a service like mine that would compact proven data of past matchups and styles of play, combined with knowledgeable experts to help determine what will happen.
