The first input wagering terminal and processor are configured to make available to a bettor at the first input wagering terminal a first input wager option based upon pre-defined criteria through which a bettor directs an input wager to access first of the different information in the wagering base. The pre-defined criteria is derived from at least one of data relating directly or indirectly to the event or to betting activity conducted through the wagering system.
