摘要

A method of operating a computerized system for a participant to make a wager with a betting organizer for an event that has more than two possible outcomes includes: the participant designating as selected outcomes at least two of the possible outcomes of the event; the participant nominating the quantum of the wager; determining a bet constant for the wager whereby the bet constant is dependent upon the quantum of the wager and the number of selected outcomes and determining the actual outcome of the event and then, if the actual outcome matches one of the selected outcomes, determining an award for the participant whereby the award is dependent upon the bet constant and the quantum of the wager. A method of operating a computerized system for a first and second participant to make respective first and second wagers with a betting organizer for an event that has more than two possible outcomes includes: the first participant designating as first selected outcomes at least two of the possible outcomes of the event; the second participant designating as a second selected outcome one of the possible outcomes of the event; the participants nominating the quantum of the respective wagers; determining a bet constant for the first wager whereby the bet constant for the first wager is dependent upon the quantum of the first wager and the number of first selected outcomes; determining the actual outcome of the event and then, i) if the actual outcome matches one of the first selected outcomes, determining an award for the first participant whereby the award for the first participant is dependent upon the bet constant and the quantum of the first wager and ii) if the actual outcome matches the second selected outcome, determining an award for the second participant whereby the award for the second participant is dependent upon the quantum of the first wager.
