Abstract
A system for wagering on individual events in a sporting event. In addition to allowing users to wager on individual events, the system allows the creation of communities of users based upon a number of different factors, including location, team affiliation, betting history, or other common factors. Users can view their standing among their own communities and specialty communities, such as celebrities or experts, on a leaderboard. Wagers can be based upon the user's standing on a leaderboard at the end of a predetermined number of game events. The system further allows users to message other members and propose wagers directly to other players.
