1. A computer-implemented apparatus for running a betting game in which users can bet on a micro-event which occurs during a sporting event, the apparatus comprising:
a feed content receiver and transformer arranged to receive micro-event data in real time relating to a sporting event, which sporting event involves the repeated occurrence of a micro-event in variable regions of a field of play and the micro-event data comprising data fields relating to each individual occurrence and including an identification of an actual region of the field of play where the micro-event occurs; an adjudicator arranged to:
determine a result of the micro-event using the micro-event data and a set of stored rules; and a client-side module arranged to:
receive bet-placing data from one or more users, the bet-placing data identifying a given individual occurrence of a micro-event and a bet type that are associated with a region of the field of play; andcompare said received bet data with said determined result and to identify given bet data as constituting a winning bet if the bet type corresponds to the actual region of the field of play in the micro-event data for said given individual occurrence or else to identify said bet data as constituting a losing bet; a feed collator arranged to:
determine whether a complete set of data relating to the micro-event has been received and if any data is missing, request the missing data; and receive any requested missing data,
wherein the feed collator is further arranged to determine whether received micro-event data relates to a result of a micro-event and if the micro-event data does, send collated data for that microevent to the adjudicator and otherwise send the collated data to the client-side module with an indication that bets can be re-opened for the next micro-event.
