Abstract: A categorized virtual currency tracking, purchasing, and redemption system, method of use, and method of doing business. The method includes providing an automated wallet interface over a communication network, receiving payments from a user for bought-coin virtual currency, providing a tally of the user's bought-coin virtual currency, providing a game in response to a request from the user, providing a tally of any earned-coin virtual currency acquired in the game, debiting at least one of the tallies of bought-coin and earned-coin virtual currency for any payment for the game, and providing through the automated wallet interface a combined tally of the first user's bought-coin and earned-coin virtual currencies.

Abstract: A prediction processing system, method, and method for doing business is disclosed. The prediction processing system can collect, process and publish event-outcome information. The prediction processing system can dynamically filter participants into groupings and iteratively optimize odds calculations over time. A proposal framework consisting of a various abstract proposal types can model and settle propositions. Game propositions can be automatically generated based on event categorization relationships. The prediction processing system can provide game players or others with access to collective intelligence, including prediction information and information derived from prediction information. The prediction processing system can create groupings of better-performing predictors and provide them with additional information not generally available. Better-performing predictors can be provided with additional stakes to increase the weight of their predictions in odds calculations.
