Random Parlay Wager Formation via Game Event Intermediary
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sports betting systems rely solely on user skill and input, which can lead to frustration and loss for users experiencing an unlucky streak or lacking skill in predicting sporting event outcomes.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses random events occurring during plays of games to determine parameters of a parlay sporting event wager, allowing for automatic placement of wagers based on random outcomes independent of user input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users place wagers based on skill-based inputs and predictions, then users have control over wager selection, but users experience frustration and loss during unlucky streaks or when lacking prediction skill
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces a random event generator as an intermediary between the user and the wager placement. This mediator uses random outcomes from game plays to automatically select wager parameters, removing the direct link between user skill and wager selection while maintaining user engagement through the game mechanism
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service wager placement by automatically generating wager parameters based on random game outcomes. The system serves itself by using its own game play results to determine wager selections, eliminating the need for user skill in predicting sporting events
2Ease of operation
If users manually select and place wagers based on skill, then users have full control over wager parameters, but the process requires significant time and complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically generating complete wager parameters including selection type, selection identifier, and wager amount based on random game outcomes. This eliminates the manual time investment required for users to research and select wagers while the system handles the entire parameter generation process
Solution Approach 2:
The random event generation system acts as an intermediary that automatically translates game play outcomes into complete wager parameters, streamlining the complex multi-step process of wager selection into a single automated action based on random game events
3Reliability
If the system uses random events independent of sporting events to determine wager parameters, then users gain access to potential winning outcomes without skill requirements, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the gaming functionality with the sports betting functionality into a single integrated system. The same random event generator used for game plays also drives the wager parameter selection, combining two functions into one unified architecture that reduces overall system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The random event generation mechanism serves multiple functions: it drives the game play outcomes and simultaneously determines the sports betting wager parameters. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate systems for game management and wager selection, reducing complexity through functional consolidation
