  • Patent number: 11551516
    Abstract: To bring the excitement to the people (majority, who are not experts in games), we present the examples, described here, for one person to be able to bet on and be part of the deal and excitement for a third party, as his agent, proxy, or shadow, to bet for him, or instead of him, or as if the first person was doing the game directly, or one betting for another, or one playing for another with the other person's money. That generates more excitement on the game or casino, with more participation, transactions, income, profit, loyalty, and repeat customers. This brings a lot of variations on the game, e.g., stock market model, or derivatives model, or hedge model. This can be applied to sports and table games or fantasy sports. This can be applied to online, real, mobile, fantasy, simulation, computer generated, human based, or casino games or settings.

  • Publication number: 20200286167
    Abstract: To have a mechanism to reduce or avoid problems for lending/borrowing from/to family/friends, we have presented a system and method here, called StreetCred, or SC. This can be applied to money, cash, bitcoin, cryptocurrency, credit line, or the equivalents, as well as other objects, such as cars, jackets, and other personal items. The ratings and scores are based on social networks, e.g., based on reputation and reliability of a user. The score can supplement the FICO score or similar scores. It can help regular banks or credit cards, as well. The initial circle of family/friends can be extended later on, to a 3rd party, for any object/item. The reputation and reliability score is very universal and can help other areas of commerce or e-commerce, as well. It encourages and rewards good and on-time behavior and common-sense/courtesy between people/family/friends. Many examples and variations are presented here.
