This combined with the company announcing its online gambling increases the likelihood of continued success.
For the specific results, BMO had subscribers estimated at 605.4 thousand, slightly higher than the consensus, which fuboTV beat handily.

BMO says that management is guiding for 50% of the vMVPD subs to use the sportsbook app “over the next several years,” which should help contribute to $10-$15 ARPU with a 50% gross margin. This shows a clear way for the company to grow its sports betting segments.
