Abstract

A system that causes an automatic publication of one or more sporting event wagers to a user based on zero, one or more attributes of that user, and zero, one or more attributes of another user.

Claims (34)

1. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

responsive to an occurrence of a sporting event wager identification event when a first user has a prior relationship with a second, different user, determine if an available sporting event wager qualifies as a recommended sporting event wager, and

responsive to the available sporting event wager qualifying as the recommended sporting event wager, enable, via a first quantity of inputs associated with the first user, a placement of the recommended sporting event wager, wherein the first quantity of inputs is less than a second quantity of inputs required for the second user to place the same sporting event wager.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the determination is further based on data associated with the available sporting event wager.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the data comprises data associated with the odds of the available sporting event wager.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the determination is further based on data associated with a sporting event.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the determination is further based on a historic sporting event wagering activity of the first user.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the determination is further based on a historic sporting event wagering activity of the second user.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the determination is further based on a success rate of historic sporting event wagers placed by the second user.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the prior relationship between the second user and the first user is based on the first user being enrolled to follow the second user.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the determination is further based on a score for the available sporting event wager relative to a threshold qualifying score.

10. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

for a first sporting event wager available to be placed when a first user has a prior relationship with a second, different user:

determine, based on a parameter of the first sporting event wager, if that first sporting event wager qualifies as a first recommended sporting event wager, and

responsive to the first sporting event wager qualifying as the first recommended sporting event wager, enable, via a first quantity of inputs associated with the first user, a placement of the first recommended sporting event wager, wherein the first quantity of inputs is less than a second quantity of inputs required for the second, different user to place the same first sporting event wager, and

for a second, different sporting event wager available to be placed when the first user has a prior relationship with a third user:

determine, based on a parameter of the second, different sporting event wager, if that second, different sporting event wager qualifies as a second recommended sporting event wager, and

responsive to the second, different sporting event wager qualifying as the second recommended sporting event wager, communicate data which results in a display device displaying a notification of the second recommended sporting event wager.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the second user and the third user are different users.

12. A method of operating a system, the method comprising:

responsive to an occurrence of a sporting event wager identification event when a first user has a prior relationship with a second, different user, determining, by a processor, if an available sporting event wager qualifies as a recommended sporting event wager, and

responsive to the available sporting event wager qualifying as the recommended sporting event wager, enabling, by the processor and via a first quantity of inputs associated with the first user, a placement of the recommended sporting event wager, wherein the first quantity of inputs is less than a second quantity of inputs required for the second user to place the same sporting event wager.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the determination is further based on data associated with the available sporting event wager.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the data comprises data associated with the odds of the available sporting event wager.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the determination is further based on data associated with a sporting event.

16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the determination is further based on a historic sporting event wagering activity of the first user.

17. The method of claim 12 , wherein the determination is further based on a historic sporting event wagering activity of the second user.

18. The method of claim 12 , wherein the determination is further based on a success rate of historic sporting event wagers placed by the second user.

19. The method of claim 12 , wherein the prior relationship between the second user and the first user is based on the first user being enrolled to follow the second user.

20. The method of claim 12 , wherein the determination is further based on a score for the available sporting event wager relative to a threshold qualifying score.
