Abstract

Claims (51)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving a first data identifying a plurality of potential scoring occurrences in an event;

generating, based on the received first data, a graphical representation of each of the plurality of potential scoring occurrences on a user interface, the generating including arranging, using an identifier corresponding to each potential scoring occurrence, a graphical position of each potential scoring occurrence in the plurality of potential scoring occurrences on the user interface to display a graphical maze;

selecting a plurality of graphical positions corresponding to a portion of the plurality of potential scoring occurrences to generate at least one graphical pathway identifying at least one wagering selection in a plurality of wagering selections for the event, the plurality of wagering selections corresponding to the plurality of selected graphical positions;

determining, during a progression of the event in real-time, whether at least one identified wagering selection in the plurality of wagering selections for the event did not generate a winning wager and removing from the user interface the determined at least one identified wagering selection; and

displaying, at a conclusion of the event, on the user interface a winning amount based on the plurality of selected graphical positions;

wherein the receiving, the generating, the selecting, the determining, and the displaying are performed using at least one processor of at least one computing system.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising

determining, during the progression of the event, whether the at least one identified wagering selection in the plurality of wagering selections for the event generated the winning wager; and

displaying, at the conclusion of the event, another winning amount corresponding to the winning wager on the user interface.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising

removing, during the progression of the event, from the user interface the at least one identified wagering selection in the plurality of wagering selections that will not be generating the winning wager.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one removed wagering selection corresponds to at least one of the plurality of selected graphical positions associated with a potential scoring occurrence that did not match an actual scoring occurrence during the progression of the event.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising

graphically presenting, on the user interface, a counter having a counter value corresponding to a number of identified wagering selections.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising

decreasing the counter value based on a determination that at least one identified wagering selection is removed from the user interface.

7. A system comprising:

at least one programmable processor; and

a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving a first data identifying a plurality of potential scoring occurrences in an event;

generating, based on the received first data, a graphical representation of each of the plurality of potential scoring occurrences on a user interface, the generating including arranging, using an identifier corresponding to each potential scoring occurrence, a graphical position of each potential scoring occurrence in the plurality of potential scoring occurrences on the user interface to display a graphical maze;

selecting a plurality of graphical positions corresponding to a portion of the plurality of potential scoring occurrences to generate at least one graphical pathway identifying at least one wagering selection in a plurality of wagering selections for the event, the plurality of wagering selections corresponding to the plurality of selected graphical positions;

determining, during a progression of the event in real-time, whether at least one identified wagering selection in the plurality of wagering selections for the event did not generate a winning wager and removing from the user interface the determined at least one identified wagering selection; and

displaying, at a conclusion of the event, on the user interface a winning amount based on the plurality of selected graphical positions.

8. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise

determining, during the progression of the event, whether the at least one identified wagering selection in the plurality of wagering selections for the event generated the winning wager; and

displaying, at the conclusion of the event, another winning amount corresponding to the winning wager on the user interface.

9. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise

removing, during the progression of the event, from the user interface the at least one identified wagering selection in the plurality of wagering selections that will not be generating the winning wager.

10. The system according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one removed wagering selection corresponds to at least one of the plurality of selected graphical positions associated with a potential scoring occurrence that did not match an actual scoring occurrence during the progression of the event.

11. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise

graphically presenting, on the user interface, a counter having a counter value corresponding to a number of identified wagering selections.

12. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise

decreasing the counter value based on a determination that at least one identified wagering selection is removed from the user interface.

13. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving a first data identifying a plurality of potential scoring occurrences in an event;

generating, based on the received first data, a graphical representation of each of the plurality of potential scoring occurrences on a user interface, the generating including arranging, using an identifier corresponding to each potential scoring occurrence, a graphical position of each potential scoring occurrence in the plurality of potential scoring occurrences on the user interface to display a graphical maze;

selecting a plurality of graphical positions corresponding to a portion of the plurality of potential scoring occurrences to generate at least one graphical pathway identifying at least one wagering selection in a plurality of wagering selections for the event, the plurality of wagering selections corresponding to the plurality of selected graphical positions;

determining, during a progression of the event in real-time, whether at least one identified wagering selection in the plurality of wagering selections for the event did not generate a winning wager and removing from the user interface the determined at least one identified wagering selection; and

displaying, at a conclusion of the event, on the user interface a winning amount based on the plurality of selected graphical positions.

14. The computer program product according to claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise

determining, during the progression of the event, whether the at least one identified wagering selection in the plurality of wagering selections for the event generated the winning wager; and

displaying, at the conclusion of the event, another winning amount corresponding to the winning wager on the user interface.

15. The computer program product according to claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise

removing, during the progression of the event, from the user interface the at least one identified wagering selection in the plurality of wagering selections that will not be generating the winning wager.

16. The computer program product according to claim 15 , wherein the at least one removed wagering selection corresponds to at least one of the plurality of selected graphical positions associated with a potential scoring occurrence that did not match an actual scoring occurrence during the progression of the event.

17. The computer program product according to claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise

graphically presenting, on the user interface, a counter having a counter value corresponding to a number of identified wagering selections.

18. The computer program product according to claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise

decreasing the counter value based on a determination that at least one identified wagering selection is removed from the user interface.
