Abstract: A method for playing a (live) distributed sports wagering game includes receiving a game prompt for pending live sporting events from a remote terminal, selecting a specific game or match to play, predicting the game score by selecting numerical squares on a game grid, making a cash wager for each square that is selected, submitting the selections to a game server, sending incremental game scores back to each player that has wagered for each period, half or the entire game as the live game progresses, and awarding cash payouts to the players that made correct score predictions for each period, half or the entire game proportionate to the combined cash amount that was wagered and contributed to the betting pool for each game period by all of the participating players. In one embodiment, the sporting event is a football game.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for playing an interactive real time distributed game including receiving at a scoring database a next play prediction for a sporting event from a remote terminal, determining an actual play outcome for the sporting event, transmitting an actual play outcome representation to the remote terminal, and scoring the play prediction based on the actual play outcome and a predetermined offensive scoring ruleset. In one embodiment, the sporting event is a football game.
