a) transmitting by a computer system to a plurality of users an electronic representation of a live sporting event, wherein the transmitting of the electronic representation of the live sporting event by the computer system to the plurality of users is synchronous within a margin of error of a human reaction time, wherein the transmitted electronic representation of the live sporting event is synchronously received by the plurality of users within a margin of error of a human reaction time;
b) receiving from a user of the plurality of users by the computer system a proposition to compete against a co-user of the plurality of users, wherein the proposition is associated with an outcome of the live sporting event, wherein the proposition is a wager; and
c) receiving from the user of the plurality of users by the computer system a user prediction regarding the outcome of the live sporting event.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic representation is a television broadcast.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic representation is a live stream.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic representation is virtual.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the live sporting event is an esports event.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the live sporting event is a team sporting event.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the prediction is of an accomplishment by a participant in the live sporting event.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving from the co-user of the plurality of users by the computer system a co-user prediction regarding the outcome of the live sporting event.
11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining by the computer system a winner of the proposition.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising granting by the computer system a prize to the winner of the proposition.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting and the receiving occur through an electronic communication system.
14. A method of predictive gaming, the method comprising:
a) receiving by a user by a computer system an electronic representation of a live sporting event, wherein the receiving of the electronic representation of the live sporting event by the user is synchronous within a margin of error of a human reaction time with receiving of the electronic representation of the live sporting event by a co-user;
b) observing by the user the electronic representation of the live sporting event; and
c) transmitting via the computer system by the user to the co-user a proposition to compete against the co-user, wherein the proposition is associated with an outcome of the live sporting event, wherein the proposition is a wager.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the electronic representation is a television broadcast.
16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the electronic representation is a live stream.
17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the electronic representation is virtual.
18. The method of claim 14 , wherein the live sporting event is an esports event.
