Method, system, and computer program product for interactive sports game
View Patent ↗A computer implemented game involving analytics and real time data analysis. The game can allow players to predict and wager on the types of plays that have yet to occur, for example, in a football game. The game may utilize an algorithm that compares situational data in a game to stored data regarding similar situations in past games. The game can then provide a likelihood that a certain type of play can be performed, which may be interpreted as odds of a certain type of play. Users can then utilize this information to predict and wager on the upcoming play. Depending on the results of the play, users may win or lose their wager.
