receive data including one or more games that have been played;

receiving a request for searching at least one of a pattern of events and/or a trend among the one or more games;

determining the at least one of the pattern of events and/or the trend among the one or more games; and

providing an indication that the data includes the at least one of the pattern of events and/or the trend to a mobile device.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , in which the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to: receive a bet after the indication is provided to the mobile device.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , in which the at least one of the pattern of events includes a pattern of outcomes in a sequence of games.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , in which the at least one of the trend includes a trend related to an amount of wins and losses in the one or more games.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , in which the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

receive an indication of a bet to be placed on the one or more games, in which the bet is to be placed on the one or more games after it is determined that the data includes the at least one of the pattern of events and/or the trend.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , in which the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

determine an outcome of the bet; and

provide an indication of the outcome to the mobile device.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , in which the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

receive an indication of a bet to be placed on the one or more games according to a precondition.

8. The apparatus of claim 2 , in which the bet includes at least one of a bet that the at least one of the pattern of events will continue, a bet that the at least one of the trend will continue, a bet that the at least one of the pattern of events will not continue, and a bet that the at least one of the trend will not continue.

9. A method comprising:

controlling, by at least one processor:

receiving data including one or more games that have been played;

receiving a request for searching at least one of a pattern of events and/or a trend among the one or more games;

determining the at least one of the pattern of events and/or the trend among the one or more games; and

providing an indication that the data includes the at least one of the pattern of events and/or the trend to a mobile device.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising receiving a bet after the indication is provided to the mobile device.

11. The method of claim 9 , in which the at least one of the pattern of events includes a pattern of outcomes in a sequence of games.

12. The method of claim 9 , in which the at least one of the trend includes a trend related to an amount of wins and losses in the one or more games.

13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving an indication of a bet to be placed on at least one game, in which the bet is to be placed on the one or more games after it is determined that the data includes the at least one of the pattern of events and/or the trend.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

determining an outcome of the bet; and

providing an indication of the outcome to the mobile device.

15. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving an indication of a bet to be placed on the one or more games according to a precondition.

16. The method of claim 10 , in which the bet includes at least one of a bet that the at least one of the pattern of events will continue, a bet that the at least one of the trend will continue, a bet that the at least one of the pattern of events will not continue, and a bet that the at least one of the trend will not continue.
