Real time action of interest notification system

A computer implemented method of providing notifications to a user of a wager of interest to them in a wagering game, comprising executing on a processor the steps of:

• retrieving, by a server and from a live action API, data describing characteristics of each of a plurality of actions which correspond to a live event;
• determining, by the server, if any of the plurality of actions are correlated with a historical interest of the user by applying at least one filter to the historical interest of the user and calculating whether a threshold level is met,
• wherein determining if any of the plurality of actions are correlated with the historical interest of the user comprises the following steps for each N of the plurality of actions:
• generating a first filter derived from a first characteristic of the Nth of the plurality of actions,
• applying the first filter to a user history database of the server containing all actions wagered on or viewed by the user to create a filtered set,
• calculating a correlation between odds of the Nth of the plurality of actions and odds of the filtered set,
• determining whether the threshold level is met by the correlation thus calculated,
• if the threshold level is not met, iteratively (1) narrowing the filtered set by an Mth filter derived from an Mth characteristic of the Nth of the plurality of actions, (2) reducing the threshold level, and (3) determining whether the correlation between odds of the Nth of the plurality of action and odds of the filtered set thus narrowed meets the threshold level thus reduced until either (a) the threshold level thus reduced is met or (b) no suitable Mth characteristic for deriving the Mth filter exists,
• outputting, to a user device, a notification to the user describing those of the plurality of actions for which the threshold level is met.
