Abstract

PURPOSE:To alleviate an extremely high percentage of risk against fans by providing a means which selects plural tipping candidates for a race from odds information and automatically calculates so that almost equal refunds can be repaid to the fans when any one of the tipping candidates wins the race to a ticket processing section. CONSTITUTION:Odds information from a teletext station is shown against three pairs of candidates for cast, in the case of Fig. (a) shown as an example, indicating that dividends will be paid to each bet in according with the indicated multiples. Fig. (b) indicates the amount of each pair when an amount of 10000 yen is distributed to the three pairs proportionally to the reciprocal of the odds of each pair as an example. In the case of the shown example, the divided will be about 100000 yen when any one the three pairs wins the race. When the number of the candidate pairs increases, the probability of winning the bet becomes higher, but the amount of the divided decreases. Thus relatively safe betting can be enjoyed by fans.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] The present invention provides an estimated payout rate (Otsuzu) for horse racing, etc. from a teletext station.
Regarding an at-home voting device that refers to information on a display device and inputs the voting group number, etc. and purchase amount as soon as you are at home, we provide a means for automatically calculating the dividends of multiple candidates selected from the above information to be the same amount. For the purpose of
a teletext processing section that stores information; a voting processing section that refers to the Otsuzu information and inputs and stores voting numbers/group numbers and purchase amounts; and a device that reads and displays the contents stored in both processing sections. In a home-based voting device that allows voting from the comfort of one's home, the voting processing unit selects multiple candidates from the odds information and automatically calculates the amount of money to be refunded, no matter which one is correct. The structure shall include a means to do so.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to an at-home voting device that refers to approximate payout rate information for horse races, etc. from a teletext broadcasting station on a display device, and inputs voting group numbers, etc. and purchase amounts using an IT system at home.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as a service provided by horse race organizers, etc., there has been a system for recruiting like-minded members and allowing them to vote by telephone from the comfort of their own homes. That is, in contrast to ordinary racetracks where voting tickets are counted from the ticket sales counter 1 through the center 2 to the general center 4, in the telephone voting system, voting tickets are counted from the member telephone 7 to the telephone network 6 and the registered telephone voting system 6. The information is aggregated at the general center 4 via the network.

Recently, a service has been added to this system that uses teletext to broadcast popular information announced before the deadline for pre-start voting. - Fig. 4 is an explanatory diagram of an at-home voting system combined with this teletext broadcast, and this system is applied to the present invention.

In the same figure, a teletext broadcast regarding popular information from a teletext station 50 is received by a teletext adapter 70 attached to a TV 60 through an antenna 61 in a member's home, and the popularity order shown on the screen 17 is displayed. The estimated approximate dividend rate will be displayed. This is a breaking news report based on the number of votes cast and is the same as that published at the racetrack. Voters at home refer to this and decide which number/set number to vote for.
The telephone 7 notifies the general center 3 (here including the telephone voting system 4) of the vote via the procedure described above in FIG.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

When voting at home with reference to the odds information obtained from the teletext adapter 70, the problems that trouble voters are: (1) selection of candidate program numbers, etc., and (2) allocation of purchase price. Among these, the candidate program numbers for ■ are set through regular surveys of voters, and based on the results, if there is confidence in the expected ranking, the allocation of the purchase amount for conventional series ■ will be decided automatically. There isn't.

However, although it is relatively easy to select a plurality of candidate program programs, etc., determining the ranking may be difficult due to many unknown reasons.

In such a case, if you forcefully determine the ranking, there is a high probability that you will incur a loss.

Therefore, it is desirable that the same payout dividend be obtained no matter which one is correct, and that this dividend exceeds the purchase price.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an at-home voting device that is equipped with means for automatically calculating dividends for a plurality of candidates from odds information so that they are the same amount.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention includes a teletext processing unit that stores estimated approximate payout rate (odds) information for horse racing etc. from a teletext station, and a number/group number for voting by referring to the odds information. In an at-home voting device that is equipped with a voting processing unit for inputting and storing the purchase amount and a device for reading and displaying the contents stored in both processing units, and for voting while at home, the voting processing unit is provided with a device that reads and displays the contents stored in both processing units. The system is equipped with a means for selecting a plurality of candidates and automatically calculating so that almost the same payout dividend is obtained even if any of them is correct.

[For production]

As shown in the diagram illustrating the principle of the present invention in Figure 1, the odds information from the teletext station is shown for the three winning streak candidates in the example shown in Figure (α), and the payout is multiplied by this value against the purchase price. This means that the money will be refunded. According to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6(b), an amount is obtained by distributing, for example, a purchase amount of 10,000 yen in a proportion of the reciprocal value of the purchase price. In this case, no matter which of these three candidates is correct, a dividend of about 100,000 yen will be obtained.

Increasing the number of candidates increases the probability of winning, but the payout amount decreases.

In this way, voting can be performed with a relatively high safety factor.

〔Example〕

The present invention is a first embodiment of the at-home voting system described above in FIG.
The procedure of the principle explanatory diagram in the figure is applied.
