Abstract: The invention comprises a Keno, lottery or Bingo-style game comprising the steps of a player placing a wager or bet to play the game, selecting or generating a set of player numbers from a set of possible game numbers, and representing the outcomes of various sports events as game numbers from the set of game numbers, and then determining the outcome of the game by comparing the player numbers to the winning numbers representing the outcomes of the sports events. If a sufficient number of the numbers match or matches in specific combinations or patters are received, the player is declared a winner of the game.

Abstract: The invention is a method of defining the outcome of a plurality of games involving a plurality of participants by a single value. Seed values are assigned to all of the participants. The outcome of each individual event is defined by the seed value assigned to the participant who wins the event. The outcome of all of the events is defined by the sum of the individual seed values of the winning participants of all of the individual events. In one embodiment, the possible single values representing all possible permutations of outcomes are generated. Bettors are permitted to place bets upon particular values. Winners of the betting event are determined by comparing values selected by betters to the actual single value resulting from the outcomes of the games. In one embodiment, the method is applied to a tournament of participants, the tournament having at least one first round including a plurality of games and at lease one second round including a plurality of games.
