  • Predicting outcomes of future sports events based on user-selected inputs
    Patent number: 8532798
    Abstract: A system and method for event outcome prediction may include a processor configured to receive via a user interface a user-selection of a subset of a plurality of listed statistical categories, and rank participants of the event based selectively on analysis of the statistical information concerning the selected subset of categories. The system may output the ranked list as a predicted outcome, and may further output a user interface via which to place a bet on the predicted outcome.
    Type: Grant

  • Equine tracking
    Patent number: 6700494
    Abstract: The invention addresses resolution of serious deficiencies in the timing and movement of racing animals at racetracks and other locations. These needs are met by utilizing, refining, and applying modern computer satellite and tracking technology to an antiquated industry. The technology to be utilized includes adaptations of computer chips currently in domestic pet location use, global positioning satellite technology and on board transponders and uses modern communication technologies to centralize information flow and dissemination for efficient management of many respects of the animal racing industry.
