Abstract: Methods and systems for managing a wagering system may receive a stream of state information of a live sporting event in real time and determine initial and possible future states of a first performance parameter of the event based on the stream. After a beginning of the game and before the start of the event, a probability of occurrence is calculated for possible future states of the first performance parameter, based on historical data. During an initial state of the first performance parameter, a signal operative to open a first market for betting on the possible future states based on the probability of occurrence is transmitted. Before an end of the initial state, a signal operative to close the first market is transmitted, and then an outcome of the first performance parameter is determined based on the stream. Payouts of the first market are resolved based on the outcome.

Abstract: An electronically-facilitated event-based sports pool with decreased house liability. Pool tickets are sold in respect of each scoring interval in the subject sports competition to purchasors, each corresponding to a potential subject sports competition outcome and wager amount. Following a scoring interval if no successful wagers/pool tickets were sold, the pot is reserved for the next scoring interval. If there are no paying wagers identified in the last chronological scoring interval in the subject sports competition, the total wager pool including any retained player proceeds portion from the chronologically preceding scoring interval are retained by the operator of the pool. The system and method can be integrated with pre-existing results tracking and account funding systems, for easy integration into existing gaming outlets.

Abstract: It is determined whether execution is to be carried out in a first mode or in a second mode, according to a user's selection operation. In the first mode, a movement of a player object is controlled according to the user's movement operation, and a movement of a non-player object is automatically controlled. Positions of the player object and the non-player object are changed according to the user's position changing operation such that a relative positional relationship between the player object and the non-player object for use in the second mode is a first positional relationship. In the second mode, movements of the player object and the non-player object are automatically controlled while maintaining the first positional relationship.
