Computer-implemented method for marketing and selling fantasy sports and/or stock market teams

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for marketing fantasy sports and/or stock market teams to potential investors, where an investor in a fantasy team shares in the winnings of that team. An owner of a fantasy sports team or a fantasy stock market portfolio offers his/her team up for sale or investment. The team can be sold in its entirety, or only a partial stake in the team can be sold, at the discretion of the owner. Potential investors view teams which are up for sale or investment, research team background and performance, and if desired, make an offer to buy a share of a team. Offers to sell and buy can be handled as either fixed price transactions or as auction-style bidding. Team owners split profits with investors according to ownership percentage. Investor pools and partnerships are possible, and many other features for facilitating investment transactions are disclosed.
