Abstract: A system and a method for conducting a wager, such as a lottery game or a pari-mutuel wager, is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a series of at least four race events is identified. Each bettor is enabled to make a specified prediction pertaining to the outcome of each of the identified race events. For at least one race, the specified prediction includes an identification of the first four, five, six, or seven finishers in the correct order. For other races, the specified prediction may include an identification of the winner or of one of the first two, three, four, or five finishers. Each wager entry includes predictions for all of the identified race events. Winnings are allocated from a wager pool based on the wager entries having completely correct entries or entries that are correct for most of the race events.
