Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a gambler opens accounts at multiple operators to find the best odds, then the gambler can access more betting options and better risk/reward balance, but the complexity of account management and the time required to shop around increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple operator accounts into a single unified platform interface. The system aggregates betting data from ten to fifteen different operators and presents them through one consolidated user interface, allowing gamblers to access all operators without managing multiple separate accounts. This merging approach resolves the contradiction by providing access to multiple operators while eliminating the complexity of managing separate accounts at each operator.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified platform acts as an intermediary between the gambler and multiple operators. Rather than requiring direct interaction with each operator's separate system, the platform mediates by gathering odds data from all operators, processing it through a single interface, and automatically placing bets on behalf of the user. This intermediary approach allows access to multiple operators while simplifying the user experience.
2Measurement precision
If a gambler manually compares odds across multiple operators, then the gambler can find the best betting opportunity, but the time and effort required increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically gathering and comparing odds from all operators in advance of when the user needs to place a bet. The platform continuously monitors and aggregates betting data from ten to fifteen operators, so when a user wants to place a bet, the comparison work has already been done. This eliminates the time loss associated with manual odds shopping while maintaining accurate comparison results.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically comparing odds across all connected operators without requiring user intervention. The platform's automated systems gather data, compare odds, identify the best betting opportunity, and can even automatically place bets. This self-service capability resolves the contradiction by providing precise odds comparison while eliminating the time and effort the user would otherwise spend on manual comparison.
3Reliability
If a gambler places bets at different operators, then the gambler can optimize risk/reward balance, but the process of monitoring and placing bets becomes more troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The unified platform provides multi-functionality by combining the capabilities of multiple operator interfaces into a single system. It can access odds from ten to fifteen different operators, compare them, and place bets on behalf of the user all through one interface. This universal approach allows the gambler to optimize risk/reward balance across multiple operators while maintaining ease of operation, as all functions are accessible from a single platform rather than requiring separate interactions with each operator.
Solution Approach 2:
The platform serves as an intermediary that handles the complex process of monitoring odds and placing bets across multiple operators. Instead of the user directly monitoring and placing bets at each operator, the intermediary platform automates this process by continuously gathering odds data, identifying the best risk/reward opportunities, and executing bets automatically. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining reliability through comprehensive odds monitoring while improving ease of operation through automation.
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure teaches an integrated computerized platform for sports gambling. First, a plurality of legal operators for sports gambling are identified in a given state. The platform collects data from the operators and aggregates the collected data. The aggregated data is displayed to users of the platform, wherein the most favorable line provided by the plurality of operators for each of a plurality of events is highlighted. The platform has a platform account at each of the plurality of operators. When a user places a bet via the platform, targeting operator A, the platform deposits a payment from the user into the platform account A at operator A and places a bet via the platform account A. If the user wins the bet, operator A will issue a payback to the aggregated account A, and the platform will subsequently issue the payback to the user.
