The plurality of pigeons from the solo pigeon loft may be used in a pigeon race. The racing pigeons from the solo pigeon loft, therefore allow for a pigeon race without inclusion of racing pigeons from a separate distinct pigeon block. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of bookmaking for a pigeon race, comprising: receiving a plurality of unique identities of a plurality racing pigeons, wherein each racing pigeon of the plurality racing pigeons have one unique identity of the plurality of unique identities; determining odds for each racing pigeon of the plurality racing pigeons for a selected race; providing access to a user to make a bet based on the determined odds; and conveying results of the selected race to the user; wherein the plurality racing pigeons are all at a solo pigeon loft. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein determining odds for each racing pigeon of the plurality racing pigeons for the selected race includes evaluating a past race performance of at least one racing pigeon of the plurality racing pigeons for the selected race. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein conveying results of the selected race to the user includes providing to the user a notification via an internet portal, a direct communication at a unique address to the user, or combinations thereof. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, providing access to the user to make the bet based on the determined odds includes: broadcasting the determined odds for accessing by the user; receiving a specific bet from the user for the selected race; and recording the specific bet from the user for the selected race. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving bets from users regarding at least one racing pigeon of the plurality racing pigeons based on the received plurality of unique identities. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: tracking each of the racing pigeons during the pigeon race of the plurality racing pigeons to determine a result of the bet. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, further comprising: conveying the determined results of the bet to the user. ### Claim 8 A solo pigeon loft race method, comprising: providing a plurality of racing pigeons at a selected one location in a solo pigeon loft; providing a unique identification member associated with each racing pigeon of the plurality of racing pigeons; and communicating to at least one user: race parameters of a pigeon race, unique identities of each racing pigeon based on the unique identification member associated with each racing pigeon. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: training each racing pigeon to travel to the selected one location. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein an owner of the solo pigeon loft provides for the training each racing pigeon to travel to the selected one location. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the communicated race parameters include at least one of a race start date, a race start time, a race distance, or combinations thereof. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein providing the unique identification member includes providing a transceiver operable to transmit a signal to identify the racing pigeon associated with the unique identification member. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, further comprising: determining race results based on the transmitted signal to a receiver. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, further comprising: transmitting the determined race results. ### Claim 15 A system for a solo pigeon loft race, comprising: a unique identification member associated with each racing pigeon of a plurality of racing pigeons; and a communication system configured to communicate to at least one user: a race parameter of a pigeon race, unique identities of each racing pigeon based on the unique identification member associated with each racing pigeon; wherein the plurality of racing pigeons are (i) trained to travel to a selected one location and (ii) from a solo pigeon loft. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15, wherein an owner of the solo pigeon loft provides for training each racing pigeon of the plurality of racing pigeons to travel to the selected one location. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15, wherein the communicated race parameter includes at least one of a race start date, a race start time, a race distance, or combinations thereof. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15, wherein the unique identification member is operable to transmit a signal to identify the racing pigeon associated with the unique identification member. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The system of claim 18, further comprising: a result determining processor configured to receive data from a tracking system to determine race results based on the transmitted signal. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The system of claim 19, further comprising: a transmitting system configured to transmit the determined race results to the at least one user.
