A “bet” or “wager” is to risk something, usually a sum of money, against someone else's or an entity on the basis of the outcome of a future event, such as the results of a game or event. It may be understood that non-monetary items may be the subject of a “bet” or “wager” as well, such as points or anything else that can be quantified for a “wager” or “bet.” A bettor refers to a person who bets or wagers. A bettor may also be referred to as a user, client, or participant throughout the present invention. A “bet” or “wager” could be made for obtaining or risking a coupon or some enhancements to the sporting event, such as better seats, VIP treatment, etc. A “bet” or “wager” can be done for certain amount or for a future time. A “bet” or “wager” can be done for being able to answer a question correctly. A “bet” or “wager” can be done within a certain period of time. A “bet” or “wager” can be integrated into the embodiments in a variety of manners.
A “book” or “sportsbook” refers to a physical establishment that accepts bets on the outcome of sporting events. A “book” or “sportsbook” system enables a human working with a computer to interact, according to set of both implicit and explicit rules, in an electronically powered domain for the purpose of placing bets on the outcome of sporting event.

With money odds, whenever there is a minus (−) the player “lays” or is “laying” that amount to win (for example $100); where there is a plus (+) the player wins that amount for every $100 wagered. A “straight bet” refers to an individual wager on a game or event that will be determined by a point spread or money line. The term “straight-up” means winning the game without any regard to the “point spread”; a “money-line” bet. “Money line”, “straight bet”, “straight-up” can be integrated into the embodiments in a variety of manners.
The “line” refers to the current odds or point spread on a particular event or game. The “point spread” refers to the margin of points in which the favored team must win an event by to “cover the spread.” To “cover” means winning by more than the “point spread”. A handicap of the “point spread” value is given to the favorite team so bettors can choose sides at equal odds. “Cover the spread” means that a favorite win an event with the handicap considered or the underdog wins with additional points. To “push” refers to when the event or game ends with no winner or loser for wagering purposes, a tie for wagering purposes. A “tie” is a wager in which no money is lost or won because the teams' scores were equal to the number of points in the given “point spread”. The “opening line” means the earliest line posted for a particular sporting event or game. The term “pick” or “pick 'em” refers to a game when neither team is favored in an event or game. “Line”, “cover the spread”, “cover”, “tie”, “pick” and “pick-em” can be integrated into the embodiments in a variety of manners.
To “middle” means to win both sides of a game; wagering on the “underdog” at one point spread and the favorite at a different point spread and winning both sides.

This figure displays an example of the odds update module and the resulting correlations, at element 126.
This figure displays the base module 110. The process begins with the base module 110 continuously polling the live event in order to receive new physiological data of the participants of the event, at step 200. The base module 110 determines if a new live event has occurred, if no new event has occurred then the base module 110 returns to step 200 in order to continuously poll for a new live event, at step 202. If it is determined that a new live event has occurred the base module 110 receives physiological data from the live event sensors. Along with the physiological data the base module 110 may receive event information about the current situation within the event, such as the time period of the event, at step 204. The received data from the live event is stored in the historic database 116, at step 206. The base module 110 then sends the data that was received from the live event to the odds update module 112, at step 208. The base module 110 then initiates the odds update module 112, at step 210. Once the process described in the odds update module 112 is complete the process returns to the base module 1110 where the base module 110 initiates the adjustment module 114, at step 212. Once the process described in the adjustment module 114 is complete, the process returns to the base module 110 where the base module 110 sends the bet database, which has been updated via the processes described in the odds update module 112 and adjustment module 114, to the user device 122. It should be noted that odds are taken on play data wagers. Wager data can be a “Bet” or “wager” or “buy points” or “price” or “no action” or “favorite” or “chalk” or “circled game” or “laying the points price” or “dog” or “underdog” or “money line” or “straight bet” or “straight-up” or Line” or “cover the spread” or “cover” or “tie” or “pick” or “pick-em” or “middle” or “parlay” or “round robin” or “teaser” or “prop bet” or “first-half-bet” or “half-time-bet” or “futures bet” or “future” or “Handle” or “juice” or “vigorish” or “off the board”. Play data can be any sensor data that indicates anything about the live game, such as, but no limited to audio of visual data that indicates “actions”, “sides”, “event” data, “total” data, “listed pitchers”, specific players, whistles, fouls, touchdowns, goals, yardage, player error, etc. It should be noted that the base module can be made available for access, reconfiguration, modification, or control for “customers” or used for “Managed service user interface service”, “Managed service risk management services”, “Managed service compliance service”, “Managed service pricing and trading service”, “Managed service and technology platform”, “Managed service and marketing support services”, “Payment processing services”, “Engaging promotions”, “Customized betting”, “Business Applications”, “State based integration”, “Game Configurator”, “Fantasy sports connector”, “Software as a service”, “Synchronization of screens”, “Automatic content recognition (ACR)”, “Joining social media”, and “Augmented reality”, at step 214.
This figure displays the odds adjustment module 112. The process begins with the base module 110 initiating the odds update module 112, at step 300. Then the odds update module 112 receives the live event data from the base module 110, which may include information related to the event. For example, in American football the odds update module 112 may receive the offensive team, players on the field, the time or quarter of the event, the down and distance, etc., at step 302. The odds update module 112 looks up the wager in the bet database, which stores all of the available wagers that are sent to the user devices to allow customer's clients to place wagers. Bet selection information can be a “Bet” or “wager” or “buy points” or “price” or “no action” or “favorite” or “chalk” or “circled game” or “laying the points price” or “dog” or “underdog” or “money line” or “straight bet” or “straight-up” or Line” or “cover the spread” or “cover” or “tie” or “pick” or “pick-em” or “middle” or “parlay” or “round robin” or “teaser” or “prop bet” or “first-half-bet” or “half-time-bet” or “futures bet” or “future” or “handle” or “juice” or “vigorish” or “off the board”, at step 304. Then the odds update module 112 selects the first wager stored in the bet database. For example, the first wager ID in the current wager database is 123654, at step 306. Then the first participant, or player is selected which in this case would be Tom Brady. This is to continue to filter the historic database 116 in order to find the data points that have similar event data, in order to find the relevant physiological data that was previously collected in similar situations within the event, at step 308. The odds update module 112 then filters the historic database 116 for the event data associated with the wager ID. For example, for the first wager ID, 123654, in the bet database 120 has event data that is for the Patriots team, the third quarter, second down with eight yards to gain. The historic database 116 is filtered for the by the position of the participant selected, for the third quarter, for second downs with eight yards to go. It should be noted that wager data can be a “Bet” or “wager” or “buy points” or “price” or “no action” or “favorite” or “chalk” or “circled game” or “laying the points price” or “dog” or “underdog” or “money line” or “straight bet” or “straight-up” or Line” or “cover the spread” or “cover” or “tie” or “pick” or “pick-em” or “middle” or “parlay” or “round robin” or “teaser” or “prop bet” or “first-half-bet” or “half-time-bet” or “futures bet” or “future” or “handle” or “juice” or “vigorish” or “off the board”, at step 310. The wager module 112 then performs correlations for all of the physiological data that has the same event data as the wager ID for the selected participant, at step 312. It is then determined if there was a correlation coefficient above a predetermined threshold, such as 90%. If the correlation does not exceed the predetermined threshold the process continues to step 318, at step 314. If it is determined that the correlations exceed the predetermined threshold, for example above 90%, then the odds update module extracts the corresponding data related to the participants current physiological data. For example, if Tom Brady has a heart rate of 96 the corresponding data related to the correlated data would be 15 yards, as shown in
This figure displays the adjustment module. The process begins with the adjustment module 114 being initiated by the base module 110, at step 400. The adjustment module 114 selects the first wager ID in the potential results database 118, which stores the wager ID as well as the corresponding data for the participant and the correlated data from the process described in
This figure displays the historic database 116 which contains all the physiological data collected from participants of previous live events. The historic database 116 contains event data, which is information about the event at that specific period of time in the event such as which team the physiological data was collected for, the player or participant the physiological data was collected for, what position the player plays or is aligned for the specific play, the quarter or period of time in the event the data was collected, the down and distance to go and the results of the play, for example gained 12 yards. The database also contains the physiological data collected during the play such as the player's heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, blood pressure, etc. In some embodiments, the physiological data may include the player's age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and may use calculations on the collected data to determine player's stamina, strength, speed, etc. in real time to get accurate projections of the player's capabilities on the upcoming players, at step 500.
This figure displays the potential results database 118 which stores the extracted corresponding data to a player's physiological data when the data is considered highly correlated along with the wager ID in order to determine if the averages of the extracted data for the players on the field are above or below the data for the wager in the bet database and are updated appropriately using the collected data. The database may contain the wager ID and the player, and the yards gained, at step 600.
The bet database 120 contains a list of all current wagers available to the users of the server. The bet database 120 may contain wager data such as the wager ID, a description of the wager, and the wager odds. The bet database 120 may contain event data related to the wager such as the team, the quarter or time period for the upcoming play, the down, and the distance to gain, at step 700.
This figure displays an example of the odds update module 112 and the resulting correlations, 800. In the example for Figure A the data that is filtered by the event data and finding the various correlations with the physiological data and yards gained for quarterbacks, for example temperature, blood pressure, etc. An example of non-correlated data with the event data and the physiological data for quarterbacks would be yards gained and a quarterback's body temperature with a 15% (which is below the 90% threshold), therefore there is no correlation and no data should be extracted from the historic database and stored in the potential results database. 802. Figure B displays an example of the correlations run in the odds update module. In this example the data that is filtered by the event data from the bet database and finding the various correlations between the physiological data filtered on similar event data and the position of the participants which in this example are quarterbacks. The highest correlated physiological data with similar event data was the yards gained and heart rate with a 95% correlation (which is above the 90% threshold). Then the corresponding data related to the selected participant, in this example Tom Brady, is extracted. So, Tom Brady had a heart rate of 96 and the corresponding data, for yards gained, would be 15 yards. This data is extracted and stored in the potential results database. This process is continued for the remaining physiological data, and then is performed for every player on the field and all the extracted data is stored in the potential results database. Once in the potential results database the adjustment module calculates the average of the extracted data, in this example the yards gained, in order to update the bet database to change the current odds offered or adjust the actual wager.
