Abstract
The disclosed technology relates generally to a system and methods for matching timed incidents in an event with a number set. The system and methods may compare user-selected numbers to other numbers, such as those representing minutes in which incidents occur during an event having a duration. An incident can correspond to a time during which no goals are scored and/or other actions do not occur. Advantageously, the system and methods may provide for fuller and more interactive user experiences.
Claims22
A computing system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory memory carrying instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
- present, via a graphical user interface (GUI), an array comprising a set of numbers arranged in rows and columns, wherein each number in the set of numbers corresponds to a portion of an event;
- receive, via the array, a selection of at least one number in the set of numbers, wherein the selection of the at least one number indicates a predicted incident in the event;
- determine at least one drawn number of the set of numbers, wherein the at least one drawn number corresponds to an occurrence of an incident in the event;
- compare the selected at least one number to the at least one drawn number to identify at least one rewarding number, wherein the at least one rewarding number is identified when the occurrence of the incident in the event matches the predicted incident in the event;
- and
- credit, in response to determining the at least one rewarding number, a user account according to a returns table.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- presenting, via a graphical user interface (GUI), an array comprising a set of numbers arranged in rows and columns, wherein each number in the set of numbers corresponds to a portion of an event;
- receiving, via the array, a selection of at least one number in the set of numbers, wherein the selection of the at least one number indicates a predicted incident in the event;
- determining at least one drawn number of the set of numbers, wherein the at least one drawn number corresponds to an occurrence of an incident in the event;
- comparing the selected at least one number to the at least one drawn number to identify at least one rewarding number, wherein the at least one rewarding number is identified when the occurrence of the incident in the event matches the predicted incident in the event;
- and
- crediting, in response to determining the at least one rewarding number, a user account according to a returns table.
A computing system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory memory carrying instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
- cause display, via a graphical user interface (GUI), of an array comprising a set of numbers arranged in rows and columns, wherein each number in the set of numbers corresponds to a portion of a sporting event;
- detect a selection of at least one number in the set of numbers, wherein the selection of the at least one number indicates a predicted incident in the event, the predicted incident comprising a specific portion of the event during which no goal is predicted to be scored;
- identify at least one drawn number of the set of numbers, wherein the at least one drawn number corresponds to an occurrence of an incident in the event;
- and
- compare the selected at least one number to the at least one drawn number to identify at least one rewarding number, wherein the at least one rewarding number is identified when the occurrence of the incident in the event matches the predicted incident in the event.
A computing system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory memory carrying instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
- cause display, via a graphical user interface (GUI), of an array comprising a set of numbers arranged in rows and columns, wherein each number in the set of numbers corresponds to a portion of a sporting event;
- detect a selection of at least one number in the set of numbers, wherein the selection of the at least one number indicates a predicted incident in the event, the predicted event comprising a specific portion of the event during which a goal is predicted to be scored;
- determine at least one drawn number of the set of numbers, wherein the at least one drawn number corresponds to an occurrence of an incident in the event;
- compare the selected at least one number to the at least one drawn number to identify at least one rewarding number, wherein the at least one rewarding number is identified when the occurrence of the incident in the event matches the predicted incident in the event;
- determine a returns table based at least in part on a total quantity of incidents during the event;
- and
- credit, in response to determining the at least one rewarding number, a user account according to the determined returns table.
