TL;DR
- Scalability is not about handling more bets. It is about handling more complexity.
- Complexity multiplies market states, pricing decisions, and risk scenarios.
- Deterministic event processing prevents state divergence.
- Architecture is margin protection.
Executive Context
Growth adds markets, updates, and edge cases—fast.
Technical Core
A sportsbook is an event-driven system with strict state constraints.
Strategic Implication
If architecture wasn’t designed for this, growth becomes fragile.
