An online wagering system allows individuals to register with the service and establish a user account via, e.g., a credit card, over a distributed communication system such as the Internet. The user is then permitted to offer wagers to other system subscribers and to accept wagers offered by other subscribers. Offered wagers can be based on a number of events such as sporting events, political elections and the like. The systems established basic conditions on the bet and its win-lose evaluation, and a subscriber offering a wager may specify a wide variety of parameters and conditions on the bet as well. When the outcome of the wager is determined, the system transfers an appropriate amount of funds from the loser's account to the winner's account.
