System and method for betting on a participant in a group of events

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory having instructions stored thereon that are configured to cause at least one processor to:
• receive information about a first bet comprising a bet amount and a first prediction about a total number of units that will be earned by a first participant over the course of a plurality of events, the first participant participating in at least two of the plurality of events;
• determine the total number of units actually earned by the first participant over the course of the plurality of events based at least in part on the positioning of the first participant in each of the at least two of the plurality of events;
• determine an outcome of the first bet based at least in part on whether the total number of units actually earned by the first participant over the course of the plurality of events satisfies the first prediction;
• and
• cause a payout to be paid on the first bet if the total number of units actually earned by the first participant over the course of the plurality of events satisfies the first prediction.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by at least one processor electronically coupled to at least one memory, information about a first bet comprising a bet amount and a first prediction about a total number of units that will be earned by a first participant over the course of a plurality of events, the first participant participating in at least two of the plurality of events;
• determining, by the at least one processor, the total number of units actually earned by the first participant over the course of the plurality of events based at least in part on the positioning of the first participant in each of the at least two of the plurality of events;
• determining, by the at least one processor, an outcome of the first bet based at least in part on whether the total number of units actually earned by the first participant over the course of the plurality of events satisfies the first prediction;
• and
• causing, by the at least one processor, a payout to be paid on the first bet if the total number of units actually earned by the first participant over the course of the plurality of events satisfies the first prediction.

An apparatus comprising:

• means for receiving information about a first bet comprising a bet amount and a first prediction about a total number of units that will be earned by a first participant over the course of a plurality of events, the first participant participating in at least two of the plurality of events;
• means for determining the total number of units actually earned by the first participant over the course of the plurality of events based at least in part on the positioning of the first participant in each of the at least two of the plurality of events;
• means for determining an outcome of the first bet based at least in part on whether the total number of units actually earned by the first participant over the course of the plurality of events satisfies the first prediction;
• and
• means for causing a payout to be paid on the first bet if the total number of units actually earned by the first participant over the course of the plurality of events satisfies the first prediction.
