Abstract

The claimed invention is a new method of simplifying traditional sports betting by matching bets on roughly even betting propositions or comparative choices.

Claims

1. A new method of simplifying sports betting in particular and wagering games in general by matching bets on roughly even betting propositions or comparative choices, wherein a game operator identifies propositions or comparative choices that have roughly even odds or 50-50 chance of likelihood, and then facilitates the pairing of bets for and against such proposition, or on each side of a particular comparative contest (such as the case in sports fantasy or other fantasy games).
