9. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the computer is further configured to receive a wager based on an outcome determined according to events displayed in the ordered sequence for a virtual sports game.

10. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the computer is further caused to generate the overlay data based on events displayed in the ordered sequence for a virtual sports game.

11. The computer program product of claim 10 , wherein the overlay data is based on a total score determined from the events displayed in the ordered sequence for the virtual sports game.

12. A system comprising:

a database that stores a plurality of audio/visual clips;

a memory device that has a buffer with a threshold quantity of memory blocks;

a processor that receives the plurality of audio/visual clips in an ordered sequence for a virtual sports game, writes one or more frames of a first audio/visual clip and to the buffer, allocates the threshold quantity of memory blocks such that the processing speed of writing one or more frames of a second audio/visual clip to the buffer is faster than a broadcast frame rate for broadcasting the first audio/visual clip, writes the one or more frames of the second audio/visual clip to the allocated threshold quantity of memory blocks of the buffer, reads, at the broadcast frame rate, the one or more frames of the first audio/visual clip from the buffer and the one or more frames of the second audio/visual clip from the buffer, and sends, at the broadcast frame rate, a gapless set of content to a playback device, the gapless set of content comprising the one or more video frames of the first audio/visual clip and the one or more video frames of the second audio/visual clip, each of the plurality of audio/visual clips corresponding to a sports-based event occurring prior to initiation of the virtual sports game at a computing device.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the system further comprises a de-multiplexer that de-multiplexes the first audio/visual clip into a first compressed audio portion and a first compressed video portion.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the system further comprises a decoder that decompresses the first compressed audio portion into a first uncompressed audio portion and the first compressed video portion into a first uncompressed video portion.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the processor enhances the first uncompressed video portion with overlay data.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the system further comprises a re-multiplexer that re-multiplexes the enhanced first uncompressed video portion with the first uncompressed audio portion.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the system further comprises an encoder that compresses the re-multiplexed enhanced first uncompressed video into the gapless set of content.

18. The system of claim 15 , further comprising an off-screen renderer that generates the overlay data.
