I don't know what they use, but in my experience, sites that require very intensive statistical and transactional capability are often better built as a custom application. I don't think any available CMS would be very efficient in managing and analysing huge amounts of numerical data.
The other possibility is that one or more vertical market applications for this purpose probably exist, given the large number of betting sites around. Another example of such a site would be a stock broking site - very transactional and data intensive, and not really suitable to be spat out of a CMS. But there are several platforms which perform just stock broking tasks out of the box.

Which sites use a cms or all sites are in-house projects? Also, the betting sites must contain huge statistical data, and too much custom code. Is there a product which can ease building sport betting sites?
