  • Patent number: 4759549
    Abstract: A board game that simulates repeated betting and wagering on a series of sporting event games throughout an actual season involving a playing board and indicia on the board representing each player wherein the playing board is graduated to reflect the cumulative number of winning and losing bets by each player relative to a starting position. During play of the board game, each player is assigned a starting number of points and receives on a periodic basis (e.g. weekly) a game and risk card upon which the player enters selections of winners and the amount of points being wagered relative to a series of actual future sporting event games. The position of the indicia on the playing board and the assigned number of points of each player are periodically adjusted to reflect the net number of winners and losers selected and net wagers won and lost, respectively, thus simulating the course of betting throughout the sporting event season.
