Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing a wagering system. In one exemplary embodiment, state information of a live event such as a sports game may be received in real time. During the event, a plurality of possible future states of the event and their associated probabilities (and odds) may be determined based on the state information, historical information, and current in-game information. A betting market is created for betting on the possible future states at determined odds. The betting market is closed, and winning and losing bets are resolved based on updated state information.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided herewith for determining prices and executing trades for a plurality of users of an electronic trading system. A central processor may receive a processor a plurality of bid-offer pairs from a plurality of users. Each bid-offer pair may comprise a bid price and an offer price, e.g. for a financial transaction such as a currency exchange. A price of a trade may be determined based on one or more of the bid-offer pairs. The processor may match user orders to trade and transact a trade at the determined price. A price for the traded product may be measured at a predetermined time after the trade. A flow may be determined for a plurality of trades between two users based on the difference, for each trade, between the trade price and a subsequent price measured at a predetermined time after the trade. Afterwards, for at least one subsequent trade between the two users, the at least one corresponding price may be adjusted or otherwise determined based on the determined flow.

Abstract: Various embodiments comprise systems, methods, and computer-readable media for configuring and trading binary options. A first index may be configured, e.g., based on a portfolio configured by a user. One or more second indices may be determined. A binary option may pay out if the first index outperforms the one or more second indices, e.g., over a period of time. The binary option may be traded in the primary and secondary markets.

Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a system and method for matching providers (e.g., lenders) and receivers (e.g., borrowers or purchasers) of a good (e.g., a tangible product or loan funds). The provider may specify one or more parameters of a commitment to provide the good, such as quantity and delivery specifications. Before a receiver accepts the commitment, the provider may provide a portion of the total commitment (e.g., a margin amount of a loan or a percentage of a quantity of a tangible product). A one-time or continuing commitment fee may be paid to the lender for providing the loan commitment. The commitment fee may be based on the loan commitment amount and/or the margin amount. When a borrower accepts the terms of the loan commitment, the lender may fund the remaining balance of the loan principal amount. If the lender fails to fund the remaining balance, the lender may forfeit the margin amount.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided herewith for creating and managing wagers on possible states within a live event, such as possible outcomes of subparts of a sporting event or other possible occurrences within the event. An initial state and multiple possible future states of a performance parameter of the event are determined based on state information of the event. A betting market may be created by determining probabilities and odds for the possible future states. Bets may be made on the possible future states via a touch-sensitive display. A payout may be made to a winner who selects a possible future state that actually occurs.
