The variations of the game differ slightly from one sport to the next, but all incorporate a wagering element and the passing of tokens as certain positive and negative aspects of the sporting event occur. In this particular embodiment, physical chips are used as tokens, however, in other embodiments a token can be anything representing an event including, but not limited to, playing cards or an electronic symbol of a chip if playing in an online/application space via a smart phone app or computer.
