• and
• settling a bet associated with the first bet request and a bet associated with the second bet request.

A method comprising:

• controlling, by at least one processor:

• wherein the graphical user interface is configured to display during the first betting session a plurality of lines and a plurality of value indicators associated with respective ones of the plurality of lines, wherein the plurality of value indicators is configured to display betting line values corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of lines, wherein the plurality of lines includes a market line, a first spread line, a second spread line, a high line and a low line, and
• wherein:
• a position of the market line is associated with a market price of a betting object, the betting product is associated with the betting object, and the respective positions of the plurality of market lines are moveable in response to a change to a real-time value of the market price during the first betting session;
• the first and second spread lines extend from the market line such that the first spread line extend in an upwardly direction from the market line and the second spread line extends in a downwardly direction from the market line;
• the market line, the first and second spread lines, and the high and low lines are arranged spatially relative to each other on the graphical user interface based on at least the betting line values such that the high line and the low line are spaced apart from the market line and from the first and second spread lines;
• the first betting graphic configured to indicate whether a respective one of the value indicators changed;
• and
• the second betting graphic configured to indicate whether extending a respective one of the value indicators changed;
• automatically responsive to a determination during the first betting session of at least one of (i) a current time has a predetermined relationship to a close of the first betting session or (ii) a change of a given betting line value in relation to a predetermined betting reference value, communicating in real time, over the communication network, updated betting product information to cause a display status of one betting graphic of the first and second betting graphics to be disabled such that the graphical user interface is refreshed to display a given betting graphic, without displaying the one betting graphic;
• receiving, over the communication network, from a first computing device of a first user a first betting request for a first wager associated with the betting product, the first betting request comprising a first betting term;
• receiving, over the communication network, from a second computing device of a second user a second betting request for a second wager, the second betting request comprising a second betting term;
• validating the first betting request;
• determining that a numerical term associated with the second bet request is within a non-zero range from a corresponding numerical term associated the validated first bet request;
• validating the second bet request based on the determining that a numerical term associated with the second bet request is within a non-zero range from a corresponding numerical term associated the validated first bet request;
• and
• settling a bet associated with the first bet request and a bet associated with the second bet request.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium configured to store instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, controls:

• communicating, over a communication network, to a computing device of at least one user during a first betting session, betting product information about a betting product to cause a display status of at least first and second betting graphics on a graphical user interface of the computing device to be enabled such that the first and second betting graphics are displayed on the graphical user interface, in which first and second bet information are to be displayed respectively as the first and second betting graphics;
