Abstract: Some embodiments may include a poker indexing service. For example, a multi-dimensional vector of player performance and/or other data may be determined based on gaming related activity that is input or otherwise captured. Such a vector may be used in various forms to generate a metric or to facilitate wagering and/or other gaming activity. Other methods and apparatus are described.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and article of manufactures for receiving a plurality of bids and offers for a binary options instrument. Each bid and offer comprises a quantity and a price. A subset of bids and offers from the plurality of received bids and offers is generated. At least one rule is applied to the subset of bids and offers to generate a reduced subset of bids and offers. A binary options index is computed from the reduced subset of bids and offers. A request for a binary options transaction that is based on the computer binary options index is received.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and article of manufactures for receiving a plurality of bids and offers for a binary options transaction. Each bid and offer comprises a quantity and a price. At least one rule is applied to the plurality of received bids and offers. At least one of the plurality of bids and offers is determined to be potentially manipulative. An alert that the at least one bid or offer is potentially manipulative is transmitted.

Abstract: Some embodiments relate to configuring and managing financial instruments such as binary options having a financial value based on the outcome of at least one a weather-related event. In some embodiments, a binary option may be specified. The binary option may have a financial value tied to one or more weather outcomes, location parameter(s), and time parameter(s). The binary option may be issued and traded on a primary and secondary market.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and article of manufactures for providing seamless transitions between graphical images on a binary options interface. A user-input is received on a touch-sensitive display of the binary options interface. The user-input corresponds to a request for a transformation of a graphical image that is displayed on the binary options interface. The binary options interface is integrated into a mobile device. In response to the user-input, an updated graphical image is generated. The updated graphical image is displayed to replace the graphical image on the binary options interface. The graphical image to the updated graphical image comprises a continuously displayed image.
