Description

1. Technical area:

The present invention relates to a computer system and a computer-implemented method for processing betting transactions.

2. State of the art:

In the prior art, it is known to handle on the Internet on actual events, such as sporting events, by server-side automated computer systems (online betting offices) betting transactions. However, as a rule it is only possible to make individual statements on previously defined (odds) or variable (totalizator) quotas. Furthermore, it is known to combine several individual statements at fixed quotas, whereby an increased overall quota is formed (combination bet). If the previous statement proves to be true after the occurrence of the event, an allocation of the profit, which is calculated from the use times the odds, takes place. The higher the stake, the higher the nominal profit. Such online betting systems do not make it possible to process bets on actual events in an automated process on the Internet, in which a distribution for true statements is made on actual events regardless of quotas.

The DE 3736770 A1 discloses a gaming device having remote stations connected to a central station via a communications network, the central station being configured for win determination by means of a random number generator. The of the DE 3736770 A1 Thus, the disclosed device does not allow for true statements to actual events.
