Abstract

A system and a method for an on-line betting game comprise clients being configured for obtaining registration information from users and obtaining bets from registered users in which each bet at least comprises a user choosing a determined amount of numbers chosen from a group of numbers in which the user bets the chosen numbers will be the least chosen by other betting users. A server is configured for receiving the registration information and bets. The server is further configured for determining a placement of the numbers within the group of numbers in which a first place number is the number least chosen by betting users and a last place number is the number most chosen by betting users. The server is further configured for determining winning users by comparing the bets to the placement of the numbers. The server is further configured for sending winning results to the clients.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A computer-implemented system comprising:
 clients executing computer-executable applications being configured for obtaining registration information from users for an on-line betting game and for obtaining bets from registered users for the betting game in which each bet at least comprises a user choosing a determined amount of numbers chosen from a group of numbers in which the user bets the chosen numbers will be the least chosen by other betting users;   a server executing a computer-executable program being configured for receiving and storing the registration information and bets from registered users, said server being further configured for determining a placement of the numbers within the group of numbers for the betting game in which a first place number is the number least chosen by betting users and a last place number is the number most chosen by betting users, said server being further configured for determining winning users for the betting game by comparing the bets to the placement of the numbers, said server being further configured for sending winning results of the betting game determined by the comparison to said clients and for storing the winning results; and   a database being configured for at least storing registration information, bets and the winning results.   
     
     
         2 . The computer-implemented system as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a web site being configured to be hosted by said server through which said clients and said server communicate. 
     
     
         3 . The computer-implemented system as recited in  claim 1 , in which said server is further configured to send to said clients the determined amount of number in which the determined amount is determined by an operator of said server. 
     
     
         4 . The computer-implemented system as recited in  claim 1 , in which said server is further configured to send to said clients the group of numbers in which the group of numbers is determined by an operator of said server. 
     
     
         5 . The computer-implemented system as recited in  claim 1 , in which said server is further configured to only accept bets for the betting game during a period of time. 
     
     
         6 . The computer-implemented system as recited in  claim 5 , in which the period of time ends after a determined number of bets have been received. 
     
     
         7 . The computer-implemented system as recited in  claim 5 , in which the period of time ends after a determined time period. 
     
     
         8 . The computer-implemented system as recited in  claim 1 , in which said server is further configured to message users winning the betting game. 
     
     
         9 . The computer-implemented system as recited in  claim 1 , in which said server is further configured to send to a client a registered user's accumulated results of past betting games. 
     
     
         10 . The computer-implemented system as recited in  claim 1 , in which each bet further comprises a monetary value. 
     
     
         11 . A computer-implemented system comprising:
 means for obtaining registration information from users for an on-line betting game and for obtaining bets from registered users for the betting game in which each bet at least comprises a user choosing a determined amount of numbers chosen from a group of numbers in which the user bets the chosen numbers will be the least chosen by other betting users;   means for receiving the registration information and bets from registered users, said receiving means being further configured for determining a placement of the numbers within the group of numbers for the betting game in which a first place number is the number least chosen by betting users and a last place number is the number most chosen by betting users, said receiving means being further configured for determining winning users for the betting game by comparing the bets to the placement of the numbers, said receiving means being further configured for sending winning results of the betting game determined by the comparison to said obtaining means;   means for connecting said obtaining means and said receiving means; and   means for at least storing registration information, bets and the winning results.   
     
     
         12 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable program stored thereon, wherein the program instructs a processor to perform the following steps of:
 obtaining registration information from users for an on-line betting game;   obtaining bets from registered users for the betting game in which each bet at least comprises a user choosing a determined amount of numbers chosen from a group of numbers in which the user bets the chosen numbers will be the least chosen by other betting users in which a server executing a computer-executable program is configured for receiving and storing the registration information and bets from registered users, the server being further configured for determining a placement of the numbers within the group of numbers for the betting game in which a first place number is the number least chosen by betting users and a last place number is the number most chosen by betting users, the server being further configured for determining winning users for the betting game by comparing the bets to the placement of the numbers; and   displaying winning results of the betting game determined by the comparison.   
     
     
         13 . The program instructing the processor as recited in  claim 12 , further comprising the step of connecting to a web site for playing an on-line betting game. 
     
     
         14 . The program instructing the processor as recited in  claim 12 , further comprising the step of receiving a determined amount of numbers in which the determined amount is determined by an operator of the on-line betting game. 
     
     
         15 . The program instructing the processor as recited in  claim 12 , further comprising the step of receiving a group of numbers in which the group of numbers is determined by an operator of the on-line betting game. 
     
     
         16 . The program instructing the processor as recited in  claim 12 , in which the server is further configured to only accept bets for the betting game during a period of time. 
     
     
         17 . The program instructing the processor as recited in  claim 16 , in which the period of time ends after a determined number of bets have been received. 
     
     
         18 . The program instructing the processor as recited in  claim 16 , in which the period of time ends after a determined time period. 
     
     
         19 . The program instructing the processor as recited in  claim 12 , in which said server is further configured to message users winning the betting game. 
     
     
         20 . The program instructing the processor as recited in  claim 12 , further comprising the step of receiving accumulated results of past betting games.
