  • Patent number: 10282945
    Abstract: A wagering platform is described that enables bettors to wager on more games than their budgets or account balances would otherwise allow, without extending them credit and without sacrificing the house advantage. The platform allows the bettor to select a plurality of wagers and designates the maximum amount he or she is willing to risk. Based on those inputs, the platform generates a wager amount that the bettor can stake on each selected wager (which will total more than the bettor's maximum risk amount). Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
