Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Sports betting is inconvenient for those outside of Nevada, where it is legally allowed, leading to lost revenue for Nevada gaming establishments and unnecessary expenses for bettors seeking expert advice, as they must physically travel to place bets or pay for 'tout' services with uncertain returns.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a database to store wager results, a first server to rank leaders based on these results, and a second server to automatically place wagers on behalf of users who select these leaders, allowing users to conveniently bet from anywhere without needing to be in a legal jurisdiction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If bettors physically travel to Nevada to place sports wagers, then they can legally bet on sports games, but it becomes inconvenient and costly for bettors outside Nevada
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a virtual copy of the sports betting experience by displaying digital representations of sports games on user devices. Users can place wagers on these digital copies of games without physically traveling to Nevada, thus maintaining the betting function while eliminating travel requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary platform that connects users outside Nevada with sports betting operations. The server system acts as a mediator, receiving wager selections from users, transmitting them to sports books in Nevada, and returning results, thereby enabling remote betting without direct physical presence.
2Loss of information
If bettors pay for tout services to get expert betting recommendations, then they may gain betting advice, but it becomes expensive with uncertain returns
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables users to independently research and place wagers on sports games without requiring expensive expert advice. Users can analyze game information, statistics, and outcomes themselves through the platform, eliminating the need for paid tout services while maintaining informed decision-making capability.
3Reliability
If sports betting is restricted to Nevada jurisdiction, then legal compliance is maintained, but revenue is lost from bettors outside Nevada
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the betting process into distinct functional components: user interface layer (accessible anywhere), transaction processing layer (handled by Nevada-based sports books), and result delivery layer. This segmentation allows users outside Nevada to access betting services while legal compliance is maintained through the Nevada-based operational infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The system adds a spatial dimension to sports betting by enabling access from multiple geographic locations beyond Nevada. Through network connectivity and digital transmission, the system extends the betting service from a location-bound model to a location-independent model, capturing revenue from users across different jurisdictions while maintaining Nevada legal compliance.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method include a database configured to store results of wagers on at least one prior game for a plurality of players, a first server, a second server, and an application executable by a user computing device processor. The first server queries the database to receive the results of the wagers and to determine a ranked list of leaders based at least in part on the results of the wagers. The application presents the ranked list of leaders to a user, enables the user to select one of the leaders, and transmits data representative of the selected leader to the first server. The second server receives the selected leader from the first server and automatically links the user with the selected leader such that when the leader places a wager, the second server automatically places the same wager on behalf of the user.
