• and an interface application installed on the computer to permit access by the computer system to other computer devices in order to permit the exchange of information with such devices;
• and computer program instructions stored in either one or both of the primary and secondary memory of the computer system, that permit the processor device to:
• initiate a user session;
• and receive a query from a user during a user session, in which a query comprises parameters of requested information comprising the creation of or adjustment to at least one sports betting line associated with one or more specified sporting event participants;
• and process a query in order to:
• determine if the user and query are valid;
• and determine if stored data are sufficient to answer the query, and if so, process said data to satisfy the query;
• and, if stored data in the secondary memory are insufficient to answer the query or are unavailable, access and organize data available in resources on a computer network to satisfy the query;
• and compute value, as an adjustment to an existing or specified value;
• and produce digital output in a manner supporting conveyance of the computed value(s) for the perception of a human user who employs an output device;
• and monitor for fulfillment of session termination criteria, and if criteria are met, terminate the session;
• and upon termination by a user of a usage session, termination a user session.
