1. A machine implemented method, the method comprising:
- providing first information about one or more sets of indicia to a first user, wherein the first information identifies at least one first indicia of a first set of the one or more sets, wherein the at least one first indicia of the first set comprises at least one indicia of the first set but less than all indicia of the first set;
providing second information about the one or more sets of indicia to a second user, wherein the second information identifies at least one first indicia of a second set of the one or more sets, wherein the at least one first indicia of the second set comprises at least one indicia of the second set but less than all indicia of the second set;
for at least one set of the plurality of sets, providing third information to the first and the second users, wherein, for the at least one set, the third information identifies a respective number of first wagers that each set of the at least one set will be a winning set; and
for each of the at least one set, updating the third information based on any respective additional first wagers placed after at least one of the first information, the second information, and the third information was provided.
