Abstract
Systems and methods related to gaming based on the results at intervals of a race.
Claims18
An apparatus comprising:
- a network interface;
- a memory;
- at least one processor to:
- generate in the memory a matrix such that each column of the matrix indicates an intermediate point of a race participant during a race and each row of the matrix represents a race participant;
- populate each cell of the matrix with a predicted position of a respective player at an intermediate point in the race;
- receive, from remote sensors via the network interface, data indicating actual positions of race participants at intermediate points of the race;
- compare the actual positions from the remote sensor with the predicted positions;
- identify matches between the actual positions and the predicted positions;
- identify whether a particular number of matches occur consecutively in the matrix;
- and
- in response to determining that the matches occur consecutively, identify whether a bet is a winning bet based at least partially on the matches identified in the matrix.

- and
- in response to determining that the matches occur consecutively, identifying, by the at least one processor, whether a bet is a winning bet based at least partially on the matches identified in the matrix.
