    transmitting, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, information to at least one of a first user computing device associated with the first user and a second user computing device associated with the second user for display as an entertaining experience during at least a portion of the duration of time, the entertaining experience including a graphical representation of a sporting event and indicating a real-time state of the first competitive position relative to the second competitive position; and

    transmitting, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, after the duration of time has ended, outcome information to at least one of the first user computing device and the second user computing device, the outcome information indicating whether the real-time data at the end of the duration of time was consistent with the first competitive position or the second competitive position.
