Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and system for making a bet or wager on an event. Particularly, the present invention relates to a wagering system for making a bet on a racing or other sporting event.
- Wagering systems including pari-mutuel or totaliser systems are well known.
- pari-mutuel betting/wagering systems all bets of a particular type are placed together in a pool, taxes and a house "take" or
- vig are removed and payoff odds are calculated by sharing the pool among all winning bets.
- the pari-mutuel system is commonly used for gambling or wagering on horse racing, greyhound racing and all sporting events of relatively short duration in which participants finish in a ranked order. In pari-mutuel betting, the gambler bets against other gamblers, rather than the house.
- bets may also be offered which allow the user to pick the finishing position of more than one participant, pick the finishing position in more than one event or some other such combination of multiple possibilities. These are called exotics, and due to the much larger number of possible outcomes, generally pay higher dividends to the gambler making the bet.
- parlay or accumulator bet Another type of bet that generally pays higher dividends is a parlay or accumulator bet.
- This type of bet is a single bet that links together two or more individual wagers and is dependent on all of those wagers winning together.
- the benefit of the parlay is that there are much higher payoffs than placing each individual bet separately since the probability of being successful in all of the bets is relatively low.
- the significant drawback of a parlay bet is that if any of the bets in the parlay loses, the entire parlay loses.
- a gambler can expand their options by parlaying their bets over two, three, four, five, six (or more) events, such as individual races, individual sporting matches etc. This is done by using a Formula Number, which means the gambler doesn't have to be successful in every leg to be a winner. For example, if the gambler takes a Formula 3 bet over four races, the totaliser computer system will automatically generate all possible combinations of three races with this bet. To collect a dividend, the gambler must be successful in at least three of the four races that were selected.
- the Formula Numbers enhance the longevity of the parlay bet in so far as the entire parlay is not lost should a single bet in the parlay lose.
- a gambler is likely to select a lower Formula Number, which results in the gambler losing the entire parlay should a minimal number of the bets in the parlay lose. For example, if the gambler selects a Formula 3 bet over four races, whilst a single bet on one of the four selected races can be lost, should any more than a single bet be unsuccessful, then the entire parlay will also lose. Of course, if the entire parlay bet is lost, then the gambler's interest in following the subsequent events may be significantly diminished. Events that are commonly bet on by gamblers generally consist of a number of individual stages that occur over an extended period of time.
- a single round of football or the like generally consists of a number of matches or fixtures that are played between opposing teams of a competition or league, and are played over the course of a week or during a weekend.
- a desirable wagering system is one such that the final outcome of the bet is not determined until at least a significant number of the individual integers of the event have been completed. For example, until such time as the final race of the day has been run and the order that the horses finish the race in has been determined, the outcome of the bet made by the gambler at the beginning of the day will not be known.
- Such a wagering system would be particularly desirable where individual gamblers "compete” against one another to win or share in a prize that is awarded to the most successful gambler or gamblers over the course of the entire event or at least a substantial portion of an event.
- a prize could also be awarded to the most successful gamblers over a combination of multiple events, such as an entire football season consisting of a number of rounds, for example.
- a wagering system for one or more players to bet on an event.
- the event comprises a plurality of integers having at least first and second possible outcomes, whereby, if the first outcome occurs, the players who wagered on the first outcome win and, if the second outcome occurs, the players who wagered on the first outcome lose.
- a pay off dividend is credited to each winning player and at least a portion of the pay off dividend is payed into an accumulative prize pool.
- the accumulative prize pool is distributed to the players with the highest accumulated value of credited pay off dividends.
- a wagering system for one or more players to bet on an event as provided by a betting organiser.
- Each of the players provides the betting organiser with monetary value in order to be eligible to participate in the wagering system.
- the betting organiser accumulates the monetary value provided by each of the players into a centralised prize pool prior to the commencement of the event.
- the event comprises a plurality of integers having at least first and second possible outcomes, whereby, if the first outcome occurs, the players who wagered on the first outcome win and, if the second outcome occurs, the players who wagered on the first outcome lose. At the conclusion of each integer, a pay off dividend is credited to each winning player.
- the centralised prize pool is distributed to the players with the highest accumulated value of credited pay off dividends.
- the wagering system includes an input device connected to a betting agency's computer system, the input device being adapted for each of the players to enter one or more bets to the computer system via the input device, wherein each one of the bets entered by the players includes the player's wager for each of the integers of the event.
- the players' bets must be entered into the computer system via the input device during a predetermined period of time, which expires prior to the commencement of the first integer of the event.
- each integer of the event is contested by two or more participants, whereby the outcome of the integer is determined by the final ranked order of the participants at the conclusion of the integer.
- each player selects at least one participant in at least one of the integers of the event and inputs this selection to the betting agency's computer system via the input device at the time of placing their bet.
- a percentage of the wagers of each of the players' bets entered into the computer system via the input device is accrued, forming one or more additional prizes.
- At least one participant in at least one of the integers of the event is randomly selected by the betting agency.
- the random at least one participant in at least one integer is preferably selected by one or more of a computer system or lottery.
- the event is preferably a race meeting or sporting competition.
- the race meeting is one or more of "horse racing, greyhound racing, harness racing, athletics, swimming racing, triathlon or motor racing" and the sporting competition is one or more of w a football competition, a cricket competition, a hockey competition, a basketball competition or a baseball competition”.
- the integer is preferably an individual race or sporting match.
- the participant is successful in the integer by winning the individual race or sporting match.
- the individual race is any one or more of "a horse race, a greyhound race, a harness race, an athletic race, a swimming race, a triathlon or a motorsport race”
- the sporting match is any one or more of "a football match, a cricket match, a hockey game, a basketball game or a baseball game”.
- a further percentage of the wagers of each of the players' bets entered into the computer system via the input device is accrued, forming a further additional prize, which is distributed to the players after a predetermined number of events.
- a method of placing a bet on an event comprising a plurality of integers having at least first and second possible outcomes, the method having the steps of one or more players selecting either the first or second possible outcome occurring for each of the integers of the event; each of the players' entering one or more bets into a betting agency's computer system via an input device; and wherein each one of the bets entered by the players includes the player's wager for each of the integers of the event.
- the players who wagered on the first outcome win and, if the second outcome occurs, the players who wagered on the first outcome lose.
- a pay off dividend is credited to each winning player and at least a portion of the pay off dividend is payed into an accumulative prize pool.
- the accumulative prize pool is distributed to the players with the highest accumulated value of credited pay off dividends.
- each of the players' enter the bets into the betting agency's computer system via the input device during a predetermined period of time, which expires prior to the commencement of the first integer of the event.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, which relates to a method and system for a player or gambler to make a bet or wager on an event.
- Suitable types of events include, but are not limited to, race meets, such as horse racing, greyhound racing, harness racing, motor racing, swimming, athletics, triathlon etc. and all other sporting events, such as football competitions, cricket matches, hockey games etc.
- race meets such as horse racing, greyhound racing, harness racing, motor racing, swimming, athletics, triathlon etc.
- all other sporting events such as football competitions, cricket matches, hockey games etc.
- any event that comprises one or more integers having a variable outcome, with participants finishing in a ranked order can be utilised by the wagering system of the present invention.
- An event consists of a plurality of separate integers, which are contested by a number of participants.
- an event may be a race day, consisting of a number of individual races (the integers) that are contested by a plurality of horses (the participants).
- Pari-mutuel or totalisator wagering systems have been developed and implemented by betting organisers, such as totalising agencies, licensed bookmakers, online wagering companies and the like, and incl ⁇ de various proprietary hardware devices and software. In this way, a player or gambler can utilise a variety of methods to place a bet via an input device.
- bets can be placed via an input device at off-course outlets, such as branch offices of totalising agencies, or can be made via other forms of input devices such as over the telephone, over the Internet, conventional trackside on-course betting outlets and the like.
- the present invention preferably utilises existing proprietary hardware devices and software and provides a new wagering system for players or gamblers to place bets on events of relatively short duration in which participants finish in a ranked order.
- the present invention may also incorporate software and hardware systems specifically designed for the wagering system of this invention.
- the players or gamblers For any given event, the players or gamblers must place their respective bets or wagers via an input device located at one or more of the available media, as outlined above.
- the input device is connected with the computer system of the betting organiser, such as TAB Limited.
- the players' bets or wagers must be submitted via the input device prior to the commencement of the event. This is because the bets or wagers made by each of the players include wagers for all of the integers of the event. Whilst it is preferred that the players' bets are input into a computer system, in other embodiments, the betting organiser may utilise a different system to organise the bets, dividends and calculation of odds.
- Taxes and a house "take” or w vig" are removed by the betting organiser from all of the wagers collected to create an initial money pool.
- an operating fee may also be removed from this pool by the betting organiser.
- the operating fee and/or the take or vig is usually a fixed amount. However, these amounts may also be calculated as a fixed percentage of the amount wagered.
- the funds remaining in the pool are available for distribution back to the players or gamblers.
- the prize for selecting all the winning participants in each of the integers of the event constitutes approximately 10% of this initial pool
- the mystery selection prize constitutes approximately a further 10% of this initial pool
- the accumulative prize pool is funded by the remaining approximately 80% of this initial pool.
- the payoff odds for each participant being successful in the event are calculated.
- the payoff odds are calculated for each horse either winning or placing in a horserace.
- the payoff odds can either be fixed or calculated by sharing the pool among all winning bets. In this preferred case, the final payout for a winning bet is not determined until the pool is closed, whereas with fixed odds betting, the payout is agreed at the time the bet is sold.
- the payout is now calculated.
- the payoff odds on horse number 4 are 7-to-l (or, expressed as decimal payoff odds, 8-to-l).
- W R W 7 (I - r).
- the winning gamblers who place a bet on the successful outcome of the event m, such as placing a bet on the winning horse, will receive a payout of W R / W m for every dollar they bet on it.
- each of the players or gamblers provides the betting organiser with monetary value in order to be eligible to participate in the wagering system of the present invention.
- the monetary value can be one or more of money, cash, credit card payments or the like. However, at least a portion of the monetary value is used to place bets or wagers on the integers of an event. After the conclusion of each integer, the winning prize value is then payed into an accumulative prize pool, which will be used to pay out prizes to one or more of the successful players.
- each of the players or gamblers provides the betting organiser with monetary value in order to be eligible to participate in the wagering system of the present invention.
- the monetary value can be one or more of money, cash, credit card payments or the like.
- the monetary value provided by each of the players is then payed into a centralised prize pool, which will be used to pay out prizes to one or more of the successful players.
- the player or gambler prior to the event commencing, the player or gambler makes their selections and places their bets for their desired participants in each of the integers of the event.
- the bet placed by the player or gambler includes the player's wagers for each of the integers of the event.
- the player will select which horses (participants) they believe will win each race (the integers) to be held on race day (the event).
- the player will select which football teams (participants) will win, lose or draw each football match (the integers) of the football round (the event).
- the player or gambler selects one participant in one of the integers of the event as a "mystery selection”.
- the betting organiser's computer or other suitable system such as a lottery or the like, will randomly pick one participant in one of the integers of the event as a "mystery selection winner". If the participant that is selected by the betting organiser's system wins the integer of the event, all players or gamblers that selected that particular participant to win the chosen integer of the event will win/share in a "mystery selection" prize.
- the "mystery selection" prize can be decided by any number of suitable occurrences.
- the mystery selection prize can be awarded to the players who select the winning participant in a race, such as the winning horse, greyhound, motor car, athlete or the like.
- the mystery selection prize can be awarded to the players who select the first try scoring or goal scorer in a sporting match, the first participant to score a home run in a baseball game, score the first points in a basketball game, get the highest amount of runs or take the most wickets in a cricket match or any other suitable occurrence during the course of one of the integers of an event.
- a first player or gambler selects horse number three in race five as their mystery selection, whilst a second player or gambler selects horse number eight in race seven as their mystery selection.
- the betting organiser's computer system randomly selects horse number three in race five as the mystery selection. Fortuitously, horse number three is indeed the winner of race five. Therefore, as the first player or gambler picked the same mystery selection that was randomly selected by the computer system and horse number three did in fact win race five, then the first player is awarded the mystery selection prize.
- a first player or gambler selects that John Smith from Sydney FC will score the first goal in the match between Sydney FC and Sydney United during round 3 of the A-League football competition.
- a second player or gambler selects that Frank, Lowry from Melbourne Victory will score the first goal in the match between Melbourne Victory and Perth Glory during round 3 of the A-League football competition.
- the betting organiser's computer system randomly selects that John Smith from Sydney FC will score the first goal in the match between Sydney FC and Sydney United during round 3 of the A-League football competition.
- Anthony Poppovich of Sydney United scores the first goal in this match.
- the first player or gambler selected the same mystery selection as randomly picked by the betting organiser's computer system, because John Smith did not score the first goal in this match, the first player or gambler does not win/share in the mystery selection prize.
- the race day consists of eight races. The selections for each of the eight races of the day must be made before the start of the first race. Bob, Sue and John also select one horse in one of the races that is to be run that day as their "mystery selection”.
- Bob selected race 4 horse number 8, Sue selected race 5, horse number 3 and John selected race 7, horse number 4 as their mystery selections.
- the betting organiser's computer or other suitable system such a lottery or the like, then randomly selects a horse number in one of the eight races that is to be run on the race day.
- the computer system randomly selects race 5, horse number 3. This is shown as follows, with the mystery selection being indicated by the star* and the shaded box:
- the only player that is now potentially eligible to win or share in the mystery selection prize is Sue, who selected the same horse number in the same race as was randomly selected by the computer system. However, in order for Sue to win or share in the mystery selection prize, horse number 3 must win race number 5.
- the player or gambler that has been paid the most dividends and thus has the most winnings at the end of the event is the most successful and wins the accumulative pool in its entirety or will share in the accumulative pool in the event where multiple players have won equal amounts of money at the end of the event.
- the dividend that is paid to each of the successful players may either be simply a value that is credited to the player or can be an actual monetary award or prize.
- a monetary value is used to place bets or wagers on the integers of an event
- the most successful players win or share in this accumulative prize pool.
- those successful players who correctly select the winning participant of each integer may receive a portion of their monetary value winning dividends after each successful wager on an integer of the event. In this case, the remainder of the winnings are paid into the accumulative prize pool.
- the dividend that is paid to each of the successful players is simply a value that is credited to the player. This is because there is no actual wager or bet that is placed on each integer of the event, because all of the monetary value is initially placed in the centralised prize pool. As such, the player or players with the highest accumulated credited value at the end of the event wins or shares in the monetary value in the centralised prize pool.
- a progressive listing showing the position of the leading gamblers (in terms of the cumulative total paid in dividends to the gamblers) is displayed after the conclusion of each integer of the event. This adds to the excitement for each player or gambler because they can track their progress as to how they are placed relative to the other players, and ultimately whether they may be in a position to win or share in the accumulative pool. In this way, the players can see whether they move up or down positions in the overall order of players (in terms of the cumulative total paid in dividends to the gamblers) after the dividends are paid at the conclusion of each integer of the event.
- the race day consists of eight races. The selections for each of the eight races of the day must be made before the start of the first race. Bob, Sue and John also select one horse in one of the races that is to be run that day as their "mystery selection". The betting organiser's computer system also makes a random mystery selection.
- the betting organiser removes their commission and pays any necessary taxes from this initial pool of funds.
- the payoff odds are then calculated for each of the horses in all of the eight races that are scheduled to be run that day. If one or more of the horses are scratched from any of the races, the players that had selected that horse will either be given the race favourite as their selection (known as a sub) or will be awarded a scratched dividend for that race.
- Horse number 9 is the winner of race number 1 and is paying a winning dividend of $6.00.
- Horse number 3 is the winner of race number 2 and is paying a winning dividend of $8.00.
- Horse number 5 is the winner of race number 3 and is paying a winning dividend of $3.00.
- Horse number 2 is the winner of race number 4 and is paying a winning dividend of $5.00.
- Horse number 1 is the winner of race number 5 and is paying a winning dividend of $6.00.
- the mystery selection that was randomly selected by the betting organiser's computer system was horse number 3 in race 5. Therefore, because horse number 3 did not win race 5, Sue does not win the mystery selection prize.
- Horse number 1 is the winner of race number 6 and is paying a winning dividend of $4.00.
- Horse number 3 is the winner of race number 7 and is paying a winning dividend of $2.00.
- Horse number 9 is the winner of race number 8 and is paying a winning dividend of $6.00.
- a further jackpot prize is to be awarded to the player that correctly picked the most winners in each of the races held over the course of the race day event.
- Sue who correctly picked four winners, would win this additional jackpot prize.
- Players will preferably have a choice of competing against all other players making bets on a particular event or competing against a smaller group of players making bets on the event to win or share in the prizes offered for that event. If the player chooses to compete against all other players betting on the particular event, the player's initial wager and all winning dividends (or at least part thereof) will be entered into the combined pool along with all other players who are betting on that event.
- the wagers made by the players in this small group will be entered into the combined pool along with all other players who are betting on that event.
- the winning dividends (or at least part thereof) of this small group will be entered into a prize pool that is solely contested by the players of this small group and do not contribute to the accumulative prize pool that is contested by all players making bets on the event who have not selected to be part of a small group.
- the wagering system of the present invention can also comprise one or more additional "super”” jackpot prizes that extend over multiple events.
- Players or gamblers are entered into a "players club” or the like, which gives players, and particularly regular players, an opportunity to win or share in a major “super” jackpot prize, based on their overall accumulated winnings or credited dividends from a number of different events during a predetermined period of time.
- a typical racing calendar will have many separate race day events held over a calendar year.
- a racing carnival will have separate race day events held over a period of time, such as the Spring
- an additional prize may be awarded to the player that has been most successful during all of the race days of the calendar year or the racing carnival.
- the player who has accumulated the most pay off dividend payments or who has accumulated the most credited dividends throughout the predetermined period of time will win a jackpot prize.
- a very small percentage the monetary value provided to the betting organiser by each of the players or gamblers throughout the course of the predetermined period of time is accumulated into an additional centralised prize pool. Whilst the amount of money that is placed into this additional centralised prize pool from the monetary value provided by each player will be small, over the duration of the multiple events throughout the year, this prize pool will nevertheless grow to become a significant amount of money.
- this additional jackpot prize to fund this additional jackpot prize, a very small percentage of all wagers placed by all players throughout the course of the predetermined period of time are accumulated into an additional prize pool. Whilst the amount of money that is placed into this pool from each individual wager that made will be small, over the duration of the multiple events throughout the year, this prize pool will grow to become a significant amount of money.
- This additional jackpot prize can be contested by all players that make bets in relation to one particular type of event over a period of time, such as all players who make bets at Sydney's Randwick racecourse over the duration of one calendar year or a racing carnival.
- this additional jackpot prize can be contested by players that make bets in relation to a multitude of different events, such as all players who make bets at all designated race tracks over a period of time, where the race tracks are not limited to a single city, state or country. It is also envisaged that the events may not be limited to a single type of racing or sport. For example, this additional jackpot may be contested by all players who make bets for a combination of horse racing, motorsport racing, football etc.
- mystery selection prize per event Whilst there is only a single mystery selection prize per event in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it should be understood that there may be more than one mystery selection prizes either per event or per integer. For example, there may be more than one horse per race that can be selected as the mystery selection or players may be able to select winning horses in more than one race during the course of the race day.
- Both of these alterations to the present invention would result in the shortening of the odds of the mystery selection prize being won during an event. This may be useful where the mystery selection prize has not been won for a number of events and has jackpotted to a substantial amount of money.
- multiple mystery selections may be allowed at select events and/or the requirement that the mystery selection win the nominated integer at the event may be removed.
- the mystery selection prize may be removed altogether, whereby the only prizes available to be won by the players or gamblers would be the accumulated prize pool and the prize for correctly selecting all winners of each of the integers of the event.
- the players may receive a portion of their winning dividends after each successful wager on an integer of the event. For example, all successful players may receive 20% of the pay off dividend at the completion of the integer of the event, with the remaining 80% of the winnings being placed' into the accumulative prize pool, to be won/shared by the most successful players overall at the end of the event.
- this prize will likely jackpot over a substantial number of events and will grow to become a substantial financial prize. It is preferred that this prize be limited or capped at a predetermined amount, $1,000,000 for example. Where the prize becomes too large, additional prizes can be created, using the funds allocated to the large prize. Suitable additional prizes may include, for example, a prize payable to the players that select the most winning participants in the integers contested over the course of one or more events.
- a percentage of the pay off dividend payed to each successful player after each integer of the event is parlayed into one or more of the following integers of the event. For example, all successful players may receive 20% of the pay off dividend at the completion of the integer of the event, with the remaining 80% of the winnings being placed into the accumulative prize pool, to be won/shared by the most successful players overall at the end of the event. The 20% of the pay off dividend that is payed to each of the successful players is then parlayed into successive wagers placed on the following integers of the event.
- the player or gambler who is credited with pay off dividends with the highest accumulated financial value will win or share in the accumulative prize pool.
- the players or gamblers who are credited with the highest number of pay off dividends, as a result of successfully selecting the winning participants in the most number of integers will win or share ih the accumulative prize pool.
- the invention has been developed primarily for use with placing bets on events such as thoroughbred horseracing, greyhound racing, harness racing and for other sporting events, such as bets upon first to score etc.
- events such as thoroughbred horseracing, greyhound racing, harness racing and for other sporting events, such as bets upon first to score etc.
- the present invention is also suitable for a wide range of other events. Accordingly, the embodiments of the invention described hereinbefore are not necessarily limiting on the invention.
