主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
specifically programming at least one computer machine to at least perform the following: providing a plurality of game slips to game players,
wherein each of the plurality of games slips has a plurality of game options,wherein a first game option of the plurality of game options includes a non-verified outcome of a first event, andwherein the non-verified outcome of the first event is an outcome that will not occur in a future; receiving the plurality of game slips from the game players,
wherein the plurality of game slips comprise a plurality of selected game options andwherein at least one of the plurality of selected game options includes the first game option; determining odds of the first game option based, at least in part, on:
i) 1−P,
wherein P is a probability of a verified outcome of the first event andwherein the verified outcome of the first event is an outcome that will occur in the future;ii) a financial criterion associated with a game provider; andiii) the plurality of selected game options; providing the odds to the game players that selected the first game option; receiving acceptance of the odds from the game players that selected the first game option; determining whether the first event has resulted in the verified outcome or the non-verified outcome; wherein the game is a lottery game; and determining, for each game player of the game players that selected the first game option, at least one prize based, at least in part, on the odds accepted by each game player when the first event has resulted in the non-verified outcome.
