Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method to determine if a user had placed a wager and verify that the wager was placed before the wagering market closed in a play-by-play wagering network. This method provides the ability to receive a wager from a user and allows the wagering network to receive a timestamp from the user's device to determine if the wager was placed before the market closing. Also, this method provides the ability to verify that there is no fraud, malicious activity, or cheating from the user by verifying that through a 3rd party network, such as the user's network connecting the user to the internet, that the timestamps provided by the network are correct and allowing the user to confirm their wager if received a few moments after the market has closed.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method of managing trading is provided. In a market for a particular type of instrument, electronic data including buy orders and sell orders are received from a plurality of traders. Each buy order has an associated bid price and each sell order has an associated offer price. A determination is made of whether the particular trading order is an outlying trading order by electronically determining whether the particular trading order differs from at least one comparison price by more than a threshold value. If it is determined that the particular trading is an outlying trading order, a restrictive action is taken regarding one or more trading orders. For example, if a trader subsequently submits another trading order that would trade with the outlying trading order, an electronic alert message may be sent to the trader and the subsequent trading order may be prevented from trading with the outlying trading order at least temporarily.

Abstract: Orders received by an electronic trading system are processed in batches based on the instrument to which an order relates. An incoming order is assigned to a queue of a queue set that makes up the batch according to a random process. Where orders are received from related trading parties, they are assigned to the same queue set according to their time of receipt. The batch has a random duration within defined minimum and maximum durations and at the end of the batch, the orders held in the queues are transferred to a matching thread of the trading system sequentially with one order being removed from each queue and a number of passes of the queues completed until orders have been removed.

Abstract: An Online Software Platform (OSP) may receive a first dataset from a remote client device, and compute an estimated resource, from the first dataset and also per stored digital rules. The OSP may then communicate an aspect of the resource to the remote client device and receive a confirmation of the first dataset. The OSP may then process the first dataset, for matching it with another dataset, either internally or by outsourcing. Either way, the OSP may establish that the first dataset has been matched with a compatible second dataset. The OSP may then input a resource for the first dataset, which is determined according to stored digital rules. The OSP may further create one or more notifications and documents about the matching and the resource, and make them available to the remote client device or even to the device of another remote entity.
