Random Sporting Event Wagering System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sports betting systems rely solely on user skill and input, which can lead to unfavorable outcomes for users experiencing losing streaks or lacking in skill.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses random events from games played on a gaming device to determine aspects of a sporting event wager, independent of user inputs, allowing for automatic placement of wagers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If sports betting systems rely solely on user skill and input, then user control over wager selection is improved, but user outcomes deteriorate during losing streaks or for less skilled users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a random event generator as an intermediary between the user and the wager selection process. This mediator provides both user control (the user can initiate and influence the process) and reliable outcomes (the random element prevents prolonged losing streaks). The random event serves as a bridge that combines human agency with probabilistic fairness.
2Reliability
If random events are introduced to determine wager aspects, then user outcomes are improved through potential net positive results, but user skill-based control deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the balance between user control and random determination based on the specific wager aspect being selected. Users maintain control over high-level decisions (which sporting event to wager on, general wager type) while random events determine specific parameters (exact odds, particular outcomes). This dynamic allocation of control preserves user engagement while introducing beneficial randomness.
3Loss of time
If automatic wager placement is implemented, then user time is improved by reducing manual input, but device wear increases due to automated operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring wager parameters and using random events to determine outcomes before final wager placement. This allows the automated system to prepare and calculate wagers in advance, reducing the time of actual placement operations and thereby minimizing device wear during high-frequency transactions.
