Abstract

The device and the method for making the varying bets, the technique for placing the bets, and the device for accepting the data provide for making the bets on the basis of the fixed or floating stakes in totalizator system, in particularly computerized one, allowing for commissions for the operator and avoiding the possible abuse on the part of the gamblers. The system proposed comprises the techniques of pooling the stakes, the techniques for accepting the data on the bets, the techniques for assuring the bates according to the fixed stakes concerning one or several results, the techniques for providing entries concerning the bets, and the techniques for limiting the obligations for fixing the cash for the payment according to the result indicated not exceeding the stipulated cash. The maximal cash equals the pool of the stakes divided by the number of the results requiring the payments taking into account the commissions and the cash reserved for the payments by the bets made with the fixed stakes.

Description

The invention relates to a method and a device that ensure the conclusion of a pair on the result of a fixed rate and a floating rate in a totalizer system and, in particular, in a computerized totalizer system.

Totalizers have been operating in many countries for many years. When accepting a pair (bets), for example, a pair on the winner, the sums are casually compared! a bet on each participant (that is, a horse, a dog, a football team) contested, for example, a race or a match, determine the total amount of bets, read the commission fee (roughly a fixed interest rate that includes a certain percentage of tax) and then calculate the bet, corresponding to each participant is matched in accordance with the amount of bets on him, according to one of the following expressions: ,

VM(X) x MA or VU(X) x MA where the values of the variable reductions are in the Appendix. (The word "rate" used here includes the meanings of both "differences" and "dividends".)

Therefore, they are recognized as "mutual" totalizers, since "winners divide the winning bets based on a percentage of the commission fee among themselves; there is no external agency that determines the market.

Often, the winning rate is increased by discarding the "fractional part" in the amount of the bet so that the number 1.29 after discarding the fractional part after the first decimal point turns into 1.2.

The same principles can be applied (and are often used) to the calculation of bets when betting on a place and a combination of results, for example, on the fact that certain participants of the competition will take the first and second places, certain participants of the competition will take the first, second and third place in a given order, certain participants win four given competitions during the day, etc. For the most part, bets are calculated in the same way, but the corresponding value is not the sum of bets on a given winner, but the sum of bets on a certain result.

But the necessary consequence of the method, according to which such totalizers work at the present time, is that not only the accepted bets often change during the time of the concluded pair, but also the player can receive only the bet that is calculated only after the conclusion of all pairs . Since this bet can be significantly different from the one that was announced earlier when the pair was made, it can be a source of great disappointment for the player.

However, one of the main advantages of the currently used system! of floating rates is the fact that, regardless of the result, the operator of the totalizer is essentially guaranteed a percentage reward according to the given commission rate. The second advantage is that in order to ensure the guaranteed profitability of the system: there is no need to limit the size of the bet of any pair.

On the other hand, bookmakers casually offer fixed, within certain limits, rates in accordance with the market determined by them or on their behalf, while the bet made by the player at any stage of the match remains fixed, while the current rates change in corresponding to supply and demand.

One of the main disadvantages of the bookmaker's method of setting fixed rates is that, in general, the rate of profit is less than the commission rate indicates. In fact, the problem is even more acute: the bookmaker! they can remain, and remain, in the murder.

As used here, the term commission rate refers to the degree to which the stakes (and, therefore, the sums of Kk, apparently) decrease below the level that allows the winning players to return the entire pool (the entire set of bets). There are many methods that can be used to ensure the commission and, therefore, to determine the commission rate. Although it is possible to expect that the rate of profit of the operator in the system of making a pair is equal to the commission rate and the more the players' rates decrease, the greater the profit, but this is not always the case. The reason lies in the fact that other factors can affect the rate of profit, for example, the well-being of the market and system mechanisms. Therefore, the commission rate is a theoretical rate and often, if a special mechanism is not used, the profit rate will be lower.

The term "fixed rate" has essentially the same meaning as other widely used terms, for example, "fixed rate", "fixed difference", "guaranteed difference" or "fixed difference". The preferred term is "fixed rate".

In the following, the term "parameter" includes the meaning of a variable value that may be predetermined and/or periodically changed, and the term "variable" includes the meaning of values that store information related to the pool of bets and that may frequently change during operations according to this method.

Earlier, they would take action! attempts to invent a totalizer that could ensure a fixed rate.

Most of them were based on the same principles as the work of a bookmaker, which is also accompanied by a lower profit and risk of losses.

One of the ways in which an attempt is made to reduce the risk of losses is described in the Australian patent M 590777 (AOV-60112/86) "A Rihea-Odaz Veipd Buviet", obtained by the company ATI Rio. Tsa. (hereinafter referred to as "ATI"). The purpose of that invention was to guarantee obligations at any pair at a fixed rate due to the use of funds in a floating pool and, as an integral part of the process, to ensure that! the liability corresponding to any participant could not exceed the full amount of bets. This specific task was successfully solved in this invented product.

However, it did not state and implement a system that could guarantee the full rate of commission. In addition, the invention has many other significant disadvantages.

Considering only the question of the obligation at a fixed rate, to ensure the viability of such systems! it is not enough to simply provide a firm rate for the systems! of the bookmaker type (which many systems can do!). The mechanism proposed by the ATI company affects another aspect! systems, for example: a) does the system include an element of risk, that is, is the mechanism a game, p) the rate of profit, c) the way in which bets for a given result react to: 1) pairs at a fixed rate for a given result, 2) floating rate pairs for this result,

C) pairs at a fixed rate for other results, 4) pairs at a floating rate for other results,

I) the effect on the turnover of the negative reaction of the players to the excessive and inadequate drop in rates caused by the system (partly due to point (c) above).

Due to possible undesirable effects, at least some options! such systems will not function in a practical sense. The ATI company does not generally explain what to do with such effects, and for the most part it also does not reveal whether there is a need for it.

For example, any "governmental legislative body" may consider it important to guarantee that! as a result of the introduction of systems! the amount received was at least equal to the tax and commission fee calculated from their transferable funds. Therefore, not only is it not provided for in the provisions of the invention proposed by the ATI company, but the application of the only examples (equations) and the best method show that if ever the tax and commission remuneration can reach the required level, then it will be the result of the game mechanism - considering the issue of the obligation at a fixed rate, the system proposed by the ATI company addresses only the problem of the game mechanism. In addition, the actual tax and commission may not only be less than planned, but in various circumstances losses may occur. The invention proposed by the ATI company also leads to other problems, for example, a decrease in turnover due to the dissatisfaction of players with excessive and inadequate drops in rates and/or excessive fluctuations in rates.

Problem! may occur if the fixed and/or floating bets do not correspond to the amount of the pair for the given result (and therefore do not correspond to the request for the result); if so, then bets on the result!, for which the stakes are considered relatively too low, will be concluded by extremely few players, and bets on the result, for which the bets are considered relatively too high, will be concluded by an excessive number of players. If this happens, then one group of players will be in relatively unfavorable conditions in relation to the other, and the players as a whole will lose confidence in the system. There are many examples of this type of influence on the system proposed by ATI, and it is briefly discussed in point (p) immediately below. There are three reasons! of inadequate rates: a) Incorrect accounting of various obligations (fixed dividends, floating dividends and commission remuneration) for the number of results at which the dividend! duty! payments are lower than the sum of the rates, as a result of which liabilities exceed the amount available for payment. This problem, which is related to the invention proposed by the ATI company, has already been mentioned and arises from the fact that the invention proposed by the ATI company addresses only the problem of the obligation at a fixed rate. While it is successfully ensured that the liability at the fixed rate cannot exceed the full amount of the rates, nevertheless, if other obligations are taken into account, the full amount of the rates turns out to be exceeded and, in some cases, not only to a large extent, but also to such a limit, where losses begin.

B) Arbitrary calculation of cash sums owed! beat distributions! among the sums of the pair, for example, there is too much deduction in the fixed-rate pair compared to the floating-rate pair (or vice versa) due to the fact that the rate is, or remains, too high (or because of the limit, which is too high) , or the individual bet (individual bet) is too high or too low compared to the amount of the pair on them. That is, the calculation of an excessive share from the sums available for distribution in favor of any group of players to the detriment of other players.

There is a rate limit in this category; while the main purpose of the limit is to ensure that only a certain part of the amounts available for distribution could be counted in favor of any given pair, preferably so! This part was a certain share of the specified amount, and the rate limit was determined from this share, taking into account the norms! the dividend that is due has been paid.

In the mechanism proposed by ATI, this is not done, but instead has the same limit of the pair for each result regardless of the corresponding bet, which as a result has a much greater impact on larger bets. In the method proposed by the ATI company, this means a much stronger reduction of larger fixed rates and, therefore, leads to rates that are not adequate! the sum of the corresponding pairs. c) Incorrect calculation of sums as a result of cancellation of a pair either without any intention, or as a result of fraudulent manipulations of the system to the detriment of other players, the operator of the totalizer and the honest operation of the systems!.

The invention proposed by the ATI company has all these disadvantages.

If only the problem of fraudulent manipulations with rates will not be given special attention, then the honest work of the systems! will be under threat In the invention proposed by the ATI company, some attempt is made to solve this problem by restricting the rights of players, which does not solve the problem.

ATI company. limits his invention to a system based on a "non-cancellable" pair with an expected (floating) dividend. From the analysis of the description of the invention proposed by the company

ATI, it is clear that there are pairs in mind that cannot be canceled! after the second player made a bet on the same terminal on which they made a bet.

However, by creating more restrictions than may be considered necessary, the invention cannot prevent abuse of the system.

The reason is that it allows any player, individually or together with accomplices, to make a large pair (and for a floating rate pair there is no limit) in such a way as to cause a significant increase in the rates corresponding to the second results, to make a fixed rate pair on zti the result! at inflated prices and then cancel the original pair.

In the invention proposed by the ATI company, there is a similar rule for a pair at a fixed rate, except that there are more restrictions and cancellation is allowed only if it occurred before the conclusion of the next pair at that terminal. However, by synchronizing his actions to make a pair with other accomplices and using delay tactics, the player can create the same problems as described above.

Indiscretionary players will quickly take advantage of such weaknesses, as a result of which, in the end, the bets will become completely inadequate to the sum of the correctly concluded pair for each result, and the system will quickly acquire a bad reputation and/or go bankrupt.

To solve this problem, a better way is needed than simply limiting the ability to cancel pairs according to the invention proposed by the ATI company.

Another problem is closely related to this problem - the need to ensure that! the players did not experience significant dissatisfaction with the conclusion of the pair.

Those who conclude pairs at a fixed rate do so because they can get a rate that suits them and which, as they know, will not change regardless of the subsequent events on the market.

One problem with a system that has to process multiple listings in a short period of time is that the bet available at the time a player requests it can be significantly different from the bet that was available and seen for a few seconds. or even a split second, back. This is due to the fact that in the period of time in question, between the moment when the player looked at the display and the moment when his white request was processed, another or other pairs could be beaten (and possibly white). If the small pairs beat and/or they corresponded to the market as a whole, then the rates could change slightly, but if not, then they could change significantly. In addition, an error may have been made when registering a player's pair.

For these reasons, if he is not sure that the bets are correct and the rate is acceptable, he will remain dissatisfied and stop playing at the fixed rate.

The invention offered by ATI does not guarantee that the rate is acceptable.

However, since the system allows the cancellation of a pair to avoid errors, there will be a significant number of cancellations due to the fact that the player is not satisfied with the received bet. And since the players will be dissatisfied, only if the bet turns out to be less than expected, then there will be a tendency to cancel the bets, the denomination of which is reduced. However, a decrease in one bet increases others, and any cancellation of a significant number of previous bets will mean that the bets that were placed on other results will increase significantly.

If you repeatedly give excessively high bets to players who have made bets on a fixed rate, then this will lead to the fact that the number of players who have made bets on a floating rate will be significantly less. Any corresponding negative reaction from floating-stakes players will impact the size of the floating-stakes pool, which will affect the ability to place fixed-stakes. The negative impact on the system can be quite significant.

The related problem is that any significant increase in the number of canceled pairs will lead to the fact that the rates displayed on the display will be noticeably more variable. This also has a negative impact on the clientele of the systems!

In addition, in the invention proposed by the ATI company, only the system is disclosed, which ensures fixed rates in accordance with the current exchange rate, in particular, due to the use of a pool of floating rates that do not correspond to the exchange rate. Although the invention proposed by the ATI company claims that a pool of floating rates can be created in accordance with the rate, there are big doubts that a pool of satisfactory sizes can be created as easily as it is declared.

Consequently, in the invention proposed by the ATI company, it is not shown how firm rates can beat the offers satisfactorily! to all players, in particular to those who conclude pairs at rates that do not correspond to the course.

The fundamental problem is what the invention proposed by the ATI company says: "Concluding a pair at a fixed rate is naturally more attractive for a greedy player..."

The final result of this situation is that if only restrictions are not introduced (for example, the offer of fixed rates in accordance with the rate, while the pool of floating rates is obtained not in accordance with the rate) or an incentive! (for example, higher stakes), the floating bet players will all move to the fixed bet system, significantly reducing the pool of floating bets for the fixed bet players to bet against. Based on the following evidence: 1) the behavior of the players in a number of places under control, where the pool of floating bets doubled during the last minute (or less) of the conclusion of the pair, when the players tried to determine the acceptable bet, 2) in one of the places , which were under control, where fixed bets were offered (by bookmakers) not in accordance with the rate, as opposed to a floating bet on the totalizer, as a result, it turned out that more than 9995 turnovers fell on fixed bets,

C) the report, which shows that approximately 8095 players in the totalizer prefer to play at a fixed rate, it can be concluded that the size of the pool of floating rates will decrease to values when the operations according to the invention are essentially stopped.

In addition, a larger amount of floating rate pairs will most likely be placed at the last minute, because the pool of floating rates will be smaller (thanks to the fact that fixed rates will be available) and, therefore, more susceptible to changes. The sum of the pairs concluded at the last minute will be useless for providing a stable basis against which the players playing at a fixed rate could make pairs, and this will only complicate the problem.

Thanks to the combination of those two effects, the amount of practical operations according to the invention will be reduced, possibly quite a lot.

No problems! can be overcome with the help of various measures, which include: a) the offer of incentives, for example, differential prices and/or bonuses, to attract players 1) to the pool of floating rates, 2) crowding at the early stage of games, p) the use of a theoretical pool.

However, in the invention proposed by the ATI company, these possibilities are not mentioned! Moreover, for the most preferred (quickly evaluated) results in the invention proposed by the company

ATI, it is very difficult to set floating rates in such a way as to provide an incentive, since in response to the conclusion of a pair at a fixed rate, floating rates decrease much faster than fixed rates, with the exception of some cases (in which other problems appear).

In the invention proposed by the ATI company, the number of results with which the dividend is due is not mentioned! payments), for example, dividends per place (when the dividend must be paid for each "place", usually the first, second and third); sums available for distribution, debts! there are divisions according to the number of results for which it is due! dividend is paid!

One of the main advantages of an ordinary totalizer with floating rates is that the operator is actually guaranteed a certain amount of commission. Since ATI. failed to create a system with such an advantage, it failed to provide a link between the internally incompatible floating and fixed rate systems. Biel created the second type of system, which does not provide the basic functional integrity of an ordinary totalizer with floating rates. JSC was also unable to provide interaction between the two systems in other ways.

For example, only a system is described, which is limited to the recalculation and visual display of fixed and floating rates at least for each pair for a fixed rate or, possibly, for any pair. This can lead to inefficiency of the calculation and smearing of visual pictures, despite the effort to make an improvement. Since the connection between the two types of systems is not provided, the possible economy of hardware means is not achieved by combining two functions in one device, and it is also impossible to provide the user with the same interface.

If the system can provide such a connection, then it will provide a positive technical effect.

The purpose of the present invention is to create a device and/or a method of providing a pair at a fixed rate and/or a floating rate, which reduce or partially remove at least one of the specified problems or at least provide the public with a reasonable choice.

In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a device for making a fixed rate pair on a totalizer is proposed, providing a floating rate pair and a fixed rate pair and including: input means for receiving data related to the pair, means for providing a fixed rate, providing a fixed bet on a certain result, and a means of accumulating a bet pool, which includes at least a part of at least one bet of a floating-rate pair, while the device, in accordance with the invention, additionally contains a means of reacting to the achievement of a threshold, which is set in advance as follows, that until it is reached, the amount representing the possible payout for the specified result does not exceed the net pool, and reacting to the achievement of the specified threshold allows the device to operate in such a way that the specified amount representing the possible payout does not exceed the specified net pool, which is the specified poolthe rate for the sum of the sums is calculated for any other results, for which duties! beat the works! pay up! per pair, as well as commissions and amounts representing any possible payment for previous pairs at fixed rates for the specified result.

In accordance with the second aspect of the invention, a method of concluding a pair on a floating rate and a pair on a fixed rate in a device for concluding a pair on a fixed rate on a totalizer is proposed, which includes an input means for receiving data related to the pair and a processor, in accordance with which: accumulate the bet pool, which includes at least a part of at least one bet of the floating rate pair, and provides a fixed bet for a certain result, while, according to the invention, they ensure that the amount representing the possible payout for the specified result did not exceed the net pool, which represents the indicated pool of bets based on the total sums calculated for any other results for which duties! work! payouts for pairs, as well as commissions and amounts representing any possibility of payouts for previous pairs at fixed rates for the specified result.

The invention provides a fixed rate in the totalizer system due to the use of a pool of pairs common both to the part of the totalizer corresponding to the fixed-rate pair and to the part of the totalizer corresponding to the floating-rate pair. It is because of this that bids can be made essentially without any risk of reducing the commission rate and essentially without any risk of loss. If, due to the imperfection of the market, the profit will decrease, then the invention can guarantee that the losses will not be borne by the operator of the totalizer, but by other parties!

Since the fixed rate match totalizer of the present invention depends at least in some form on the floating rate match totalizer (even if it has a theoretical pool), the term fixed rate match totalizer as used herein refers to a totalizer system capable of providing fixed rate matches rate, but which nonetheless contains a part "corresponding to a pair at a floating rate."

Further, only as an example there will be descriptions! different forms! implementation of the invention.

In the betting pool of the floating rate pair, there is a certain available amount (net pool) from which payments can be made to the fixed rate pair and/or the floating rate pair, if the result is valid. This available amount is a pool of bets after accounting as calculated for any results for which you owe! beat the works! pay up! in pairs, as well as the amounts that have priority, such as the commission fee and the amount! payment for the previous pair at a fixed rate for the same result. Provided that the amount of possible payouts for a certain result does not exceed the available amount!, in fact, there can be no loss or reduction in the size of commissions. Therefore, the system can work so that the amount of possible payments! for a certain result did not exceed the available amount! and, as a rule, did not exceed the predetermined amount available for that result, the maximum value of which is equal to the amount available.

Amount of possible payment! for a certain result, it depends on the rate and the amount! pairs at this rate. So, for example, the system can regulate the formation of a fixed rate and/or sums!, which can be placed at the same rate, both for one pair and for a number of pairs. The maximum amount that can be placed at a specific rate for a certain result can be predetermined, for example, by using a certain threshold, either as such, or together with a second mechanism, for example, a certain limit (the maximum amount paid per pair at a fixed rate) or by the bet limit (the maximum amount of the pair's bet at a fixed rate).

Certain thresholds can allow several pairs at a specific fixed rate, thus increasing the speed of processing and the efficiency of the systems!. For example, pairs can be resolved until the amount of the pair at a certain rate reaches a given value, thereby setting the maximum amount available for a possible payout, given the amount available at disposal, and allowing a series of pairs at that fixed rate. This is just one example of how the available amount can be predetermined. The second example can be a simple assignment of amounts. Also, the threshold can provide only one pair at a specific fixed rate.

It is also possible to prevent an increase in the amount of possible payouts above a predetermined available amount by determining the bet for the current pair at a fixed rate by taking into account that pair in the calculations, in approximately the same way as the bet on a certain result can be determined using a pair in the general system with floating rate There can be a pre-set available amount, without determining a fixed pair limit, as the maximum possible payout for a pair can be set by a pre-set bet amount and the formula used for a fixed-rate pair. In one version of this form! implementation of the invention, the threshold represents the proposed pair and repeated multiplication of the fixed rate is performed for each pair at the fixed rate. In the second option, the threshold casually provides a number of pairs before repeating the multiplication of the fixed rate, so that! the white threshold is based on a predetermined set of factors influencing the bet of the pair, conclusions on the result since the time of the last calculation.

As an example of a situation in which a predetermined available amount can be the maximum amount, there is such a situation when this available amount is paid out on the winnings of a pair of floating bets as a result of a pair for some event, approximately the same as in an ordinary system with floating ponds

In a preferred embodiment, the fixed bet means include a means of entering a fixed bet on some result.

In one preferred embodiment of the invention, a method of securing a pair at a fixed rate and a floating rate is proposed, operating with a pool of pairs (a pool of rates) and guaranteeing that the full amount is paid out! as a result, it will not exceed the full amount available. This method includes the following operations: a) initialize all parameters and variables,

B) 1) determine a fixed rate (fixed rate) for one or more possible results or the absence of such results, 2) perform the presentation of each of the fixed rates,

C) for a pair with a fixed bet on the result i) assign a fixed bet to this pair, ii) make at least one record of the given pair and include that fixed bet in the record(s), c) 1) determine the floating rate (floating rates) for one or more possible outcomes or their absence by performing operations on the pool of pairs in accordance with the following operations for each result: i) divide the pool of pairs by the number of results, in which case! .dividend payments, i) reduce it taking into account the commission fee, i) reduce it taking into account the amounts reserved for payment in pairs at a fixed rate for the same result, i) divide it in accordance with the amounts of the pair at a floating rate for the same result, m) perform the presentation of each floating rate determined in this way, 2) for a pair with a floating rate, at least one record of that pair is made for the result, a) perform pairs with a fixed and/or floating rate as follows: 1) check that the sum, reserved for payment at a fixed rate, does not exceed the pool of the pair, after it has been divided in proportion to the number of results, at which the dividend! duty! number of payments, i) reduced taking into account the commission fee, ii) reduced taking into account the amounts reserved for payments! according to the previous pairs at a fixed rate for the same result, 2) check that the amount is for payment! at a floating rate when the result does not exceed the pool of the pair, after it has been divided in accordance with the number of results, at which the dividend! duties! number of payments, i) reduced taking into account the commission fee, ii) reduced taking into account the amounts reserved for payments! per pair at a fixed rate for the same result,

C) repeat for each pair at least operations (B) and (c).

In a preferred embodiment, the method additionally includes repeating at least operations (B) and (c) when changing a variable or parameter.

In one preferred form of the invention, the pool is formed by accepting pairs at a floating rate.

In the second preferred form of the invention, the pool is formed by accepting pairs at a floating rate, and the initial firmness of the rate is determined based on the calculation of sums! the couple fell silent. In this form of the invention, the totalizer of the fixed rate pair is a mutual totalizer, despite the fact that, as the pair is concluded, not every player receives exactly the same bet for a given result, nevertheless, the system distributes among the lucky participants the full amount of the pair according to a certain sums as a commission fee, the rates are determined only by the sums of the pair and no external agency is involved in the system. In this form of the invention, there is actually no risk of wear and tear and the risk of a reduction in the commission rate.

In another preferred form of the invention, the pool is formed using theoretical pairs with a floating rate (fully or partially), which allows you to offer a fixed rate despite the fact that there is only a small amount in the pool of floating rate pairs or even nothing at all. This is achieved due to the fact that the totalizer operator enters the amount (which is preferably small compared to the size of the final pool) and then places parts of that amount! for each result, so that! the market reacted to this in accordance with its interests. In one of the preferred forms of allocation of sums (based on values for a purely theoretical pool), the allocation is carried out in accordance with the following expression: (1-МСА)х TVM вм(х)-- 83 Ш/ 8 Б Б - 7-,

UD(X)x MA where variables have the same designations as before, but the commission rate may change and may not be at the same level as for known floating rate pair systems. (Such theoretical pairs can be used by the totalizer operator not only in the floating rate pair totalizer, but also in the fixed rate pair totalizer in accordance with various forms of this invention; when it is necessary to distinguish theoretical pairs from ordinary pairs, we will call them " placements"). There is no need to actually place zty sums, calculations can be made as if zty sums! beat placement!.

In this form of the invention, it is possible to make the probability of losses small, but it cannot be completely eliminated. In addition, due to the imperfection of the market, it is very likely that the rate of profit will be lower than the commission fee indicates.

However, any reduction in norms! the winnings will be small, since the sum of the risk will be only a small part of the size of the final pool, and in the worst case, only that part will be lost. In most cases, this reduction can be further reduced, eliminated, or even turned into additional profit with the help of a variety of means, for example, reducing the pair limit, reducing the amount contributed by the totalizer operator as the pair pool increases at a floating rate and/or increasing the commission rate when the amount placed by the operator is in the pool (and in one of the forms of the invention - with the help of a linear reduction of the reward as the pool decreases).

In yet another form of the invention, a separate fixed rate match system (without a real floating rate match pool at any stage, but instead with a purely theoretical pool) is intended to stabilize the market by allocating amounts to each result, as described above, and significantly increasing commission rates to compensate for market inadequacies. In combination with the correction of the size of the theoretical pool and the maximum rates, the commission rate can be set at such a level that actually guarantees a specific rate of profit.

In another preferred form of the invention, a "pair bet limit" is used. In those pairs, the rates are limited so as to effectively prevent fraud or other manipulations with the rates, examples of such pairs are: a) pairs that can be canceled! only at the discretion of the totalizer operator, try it! conditions under which the operator can allow cancellation are the following: 1) he is convinced that there is no attempt to manipulate prices, 2) the pair rate is low,

C) the current rate is approximately equal to or less than the rate when the pair was concluded, 4) the rate of the pair is such that any negative effect of its cancellation can be covered from the insurance fund, p) pairs that players cannot abuse, because they are theoretical pairs, placing totalizer operator. c) pairs that can never be canceled! or changes in any way after acceptance! by the operator of the totalizer, 4) pairs in which the player indicated the minimum bet that he will take, the pair is accepted and, therefore, cannot be canceled, e) pairs from the account, which is connected with certain conditions that provide protection against abuse, for example, where required complete personal data and/or insurance,

In a couple that says "confirmation!". That is the preferred option.

In one form of the invention, pair pool operations include analysis of the pair pool as individual amounts corresponding to each pair. However, in the preferred form of the invention to speed up the processing, the implementation of operations with the opula opara includes the addition of several or all individual accounts into one or more current totals. The latter approach was used in the preferred embodiment of the invention.

In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the pair pool operations include analysis of all pair sums. However, in the second form of the invention, operations with a pool of a pair include the analysis of only a subset of the sums of the pair, for example, parts of the sums! of each individual pair or part of a pair pool at a floating rate before the beginning of the conclusion of a pair at a fixed rate.

There are many ways by which you can determine the firm rate, they can even be determined manually, although this is not the preferred option.

In another preferred form of the invention, the operation of determining the fixed rate (fixed rates) for one or more results, as well as for the absence of such results, is carried out by means of the following operations with the pair pool for each result: a) the pair pool is divided in proportion to the number of results by which dividend! duty! of payments, p) reduce it taking into account the commission fee, c) reduce it taking into account the amounts reserved for payments! per pair at a fixed rate for that result,

I) divide it in accordance with the sums of the pair for that result.

When calculating, the calculation of successful pairs at a fixed rate can be completed at step (c) and/or (4). In one of the preferred forms of the invention, there is no blocking of such an account.

Current fixed rate pairs can be studied at fixed fixed rate to offer both current fixed rate and floating rate pairs or, alternatively, they can be studied only when floating rates are determined.

In the following examples, the method is described in more detail), according to which there can be multiple firm rates.

In one preferred form of the invention, the amount reserved for payment! at a fixed rate for a given result, represent all sums, and sums! bets on the result include all bets of the floating rate pair.

In another preferred form of the invention, the amount reserved for payments! at a fixed rate for a given result, are a part of the specified amounts, and the sums of the pair for that result include the balances of the corresponding amounts of the pair at the fixed rate and all the bets of the pair at the floating rate.

In another preferred form of the invention, the amount reserved for payments! at a fixed rate for this result, do not include the specified amounts, but the sums! bets on the same result include all bets of the pair at the fixed rate and all bets of the pair at the floating rate.

In another preferred form of the invention, the amount reserved for payments! at a fixed rate for a given result, include the indication of the amounts before concluding a pair at the current fixed rate, and the amounts! bets on the same result include bets on the current fixed rate and all bets on the floating rate pair.

In another preferred form of the invention, the equations and/or parameters! restrictions! which provide for each result bets corresponding to the amount of the pair for this result.

In another preferred form of the invention (it can be used to make a bet on the winner or on the occupied seat) bets for all possible results are determined and presented periodically.

In another preferred form of the invention (it can be used to make a pair for a combination of three or four results), indirectly determine and present bets for a significantly smaller number of results (for example, for such results for which a request was received from the player), due to the difficulty of practical presentation of all possible results and the absence of the need to do so. In another preferred form of the invention, it may even happen that, especially for a floating bet pair, there will be no determinations and representations for any result at any particular stage of the betting method. For example, to increase the stability of rates, rates can be defined and presented! only when the total amount of the pair for any of the results exceeds the predetermined share of the pair limit.

The presentation method in question can be implemented in the processor or with its help, for example, with the help of signals stored in memory, on a disk, on magnetic tape; another suitable way of presentation may be used.

In one preferred form of the invention, a presentation method that is visual in nature is also used.

In other forms of the invention, the following means of presentation are used: sound, tactile, any other method or a combination of the described several methods.

The purpose of setting the limit is to prevent direct losses for the totalizer operator and, preferably, also indirect losses. Without a mechanism by which this goal is achieved, the amount that can be paid out for any given pair can exceed the amount available, which will result in direct losses for the tote operator. In addition, indirect losses may arise as a result of the negative reaction of players to the system, which allows the correction of too high rates.

Any method suitable for the given task is suitable. Even such a simple mechanism as setting an amount that remains fixed until the couple can be satisfied, although this is not the preferred option.

In one preferred form of the invention, the limit allows you to place on each pair at a fixed rate no more than a certain suitable share of the pool before a bet correction will be made, teaching that pair.

In another preferred form of the invention, the pair limit is calculated for each corresponding fixed rate, and its presentation is then performed in accordance with the presentation of that rate.

In another preferred form of the invention, a subset of the pool of the pair is determined, and that lot is assigned as a limit (the maximum amount for payouts! per pair at a fixed rate), and the limit of the pair is determined based on these values, taking into account the fixed rate at which the debt! Payment is being made!

In another preferred form of the invention, the subset is the entire pool of floating rate pairs after it is divided according to the number of results on which the payout is due! dividend, and a certain part of it (I) is allocated for payments! per pair at a fixed rate; the limit of the pair is determined from this sum! taking into account the dividend rate at which the fixed rate must be paid. Preferably, it is achieved using any of the following equations:

Y x TVM I xXvM(X)

Predelpars -- - 6 -- -6(«- - 6 -

ZB(X)xHMA (1-MSV)

In another preferred form of the invention, the subset is the betting pool after it is divided according to the number of results on which the payout is due! dividends, and reductions taking into account the commission fee and the amounts reserved for payments! per pair at a fixed rate for the same result (net pool), and the ego part (I) is allocated as the maximum amount for payouts! per pair at a fixed rate; the limit of the pair is determined from this share, taking into account the dividend rate, at which the paid fixed rate should be calculated.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, this is achieved by applying the following equation:

Their (1-5C8)x(TVM - TV5 - VM(X ))- RO (M )- RM(M))

Predelpars -- - 6 666666666(Ф.666666-- 5О(Х) which, taking into account the definition of 50Д(У), is reduced to the equation:

The limit of the pair is Y x VM(X), as you can see, the result is just some fate or sums! bets on a given result in a pool of bets at a floating rate.

It is clear that if you follow the method according to the invention, then there will be protection against the fact that the rate of the couple at the fixed rate will be too high and will lead to a decrease in the primary obligations, for example, the commission fee and the amount reserved for payments! on previous pairs at a fixed rate on this result.

In one of the preferred forms of the invention, the operation of ensuring that the amount reserved for payments at a fixed rate does not exceed the pool of the pair after it has been: a) divided in accordance with the number of results, at which the dividend! payment due, p) reduced taking into account the commission fee, c) reduced taking into account the amounts reserved for payments! according to previous pairs at a fixed rate for that result, it is carried out as follows: i) ensure that the limit for that result does not exceed the pool of the pair, after it has been i)

divided in accordance with the number of results, at which the dividend! duties! number of payments, i) reduced taking into account the commission fee, i) reduced taking into account the amounts reserved for payments! based on the previous pairs at a fixed rate on the same result, 2) based on the same limit and taking into account the pair's rate at a fixed rate on the same result, the limit of the pair on the same result is determined,

C) ensure that! the fixed rate match amount did not exceed the match limit.

In one preferred form of the invention, the fixed rate and limit of the pair for the offer of the current pair at the fixed rate are determined without taking into account the current rate of the pair during calculations, although it is studied when determining the floating rates.

In the second preferred form of the invention, the fixed rate and limit of the pair for the proposal to conclude a pair at the current fixed rate, as well as the floating rates, are determined taking into account the calculations of the pair at the current rate. In practice, this may mean that the pair limit will not reduce the size of the pair's bet on the fixed rate, because the rates are adjusted downwards due to the pair, which helps to achieve the same goal as the limit. In the preferred form of the invention, the process of accounting for a pair at a fixed rate in the calculations means the inclusion of the rate of the pair in the variable that is used when calculating the fixed rate of the current pair. However, in the second preferred form of the invention, the process of accounting in the calculations of the pair at a fixed rate means that the rate of the pair will be included in the variable indication, if the influence of the combined rates of the pair on the result will change the rate by a predetermined amount compared to the rate calculated the previous time.

One of the methods that can be used to check whether the received fixed bet is acceptable to the player is that the player sets, along with other details of his pair, the minimum bet that he agrees to. If the player does this personally (for example, using a touch screen, a keyboard or a card with his mark inserted into the corresponding reading device), then the responsibility for any mistake lies with him. So that the player can check the pairs, the corresponding information can be displayed on the screen before transferring it to the processor. Although this method ensures the "honesty" of the system, players may find it excessively cumbersome and unsatisfactory.

To solve this problem, the preferred method is to confirm the pair, which is provided by a system that in a short period of time processes numerous transactions (including transactions at a fixed rate) and, at the same time, gives players the opportunity to abandon any pair that is incorrectly concluded or the rate of which is unacceptable .

One of the problems associated with this approach is that there is necessarily a delay between the request for a pair at a fixed rate and the confirmation of that pair. Therefore, in this interval, many products can be created! and/or treatments! other requests! pairs at a fixed rate and pairs at a floating rate. Therefore, at any period of time, several pairs can be found at a fixed rate, for which a request has been made, but which has not yet been processed!.

In these circumstances, if one (several) pairs have excessively high rates or conclude on one result (which happens quite often), then the rate offered for this result turns out to be too large, unless it is adjusted downwards after each request of the pair at a floating rate. However, if in order to take into account the request, the rates corresponding to the second results are adjusted upwards, then the rates corresponding to the second results will be too large, provided that the pairs are not confirmed: If special security measures are not used , then the possibility of fraudulent manipulations with the rates is significant. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the problem is solved by adjusting the rate downward for the result for which the pair requested a fixed rate, but not adjusting the rate upward for other results (as a result pairs) before that pair is confirmed.Therefore, the sooner fixed rate pairs are confirmed, the better.

However, the solution creates its own problems! During the period when the flow of concluded pairs increases (which happens quite often, especially immediately before the wedding), the pair's bets on at least some of the results, if not all, thanks to the process described above, can significantly decrease.

Although due to the reduction of commitments on the fixed rate, this may lead to better betting for players who have made bets on the floating rate, it is nevertheless considered that any significant decrease in fixed rates is undesirable due to the negative reaction of the players.

Any excess reduction in rates due to this effect can be taken into account through the compensation mechanism. One preferred method is the rate stabilization method, with the help of which the rates are adjusted at such times. In one preferred form of the invention, the degree of rate correction is based on the sum of the reciprocals of the largest just-quoted dividends of the fixed-rate pair (before the quote resulting from the inclusion of the current pair). Since the degree of drop in rates is generally small, the use of the compensation mechanism is not always necessary. This is especially true if the formation of firm rates according to the present invention will significantly reduce demand during "peak times", for example, right before runs.

In another preferred form of the invention, at least two records of each pair are produced: a computer record, which can include both electronic storage in memory and magnetic storage on disk or tape, and a record for the player, which can be completed in the form of a printed receipt, recording on magnetic media or using other suitable means.

In another preferred form of the invention, the information recorded in connection with the pair,

selected from information related to the type of competition (for example, horse racing, sledding, dog running, athletics, football matches), the place and date of the competition, the identification of the team (for example, the number), the identification of the result (for example, the number and/or name of the winner) , sadness! pairs, bets and type of pair (for example, on the winner, on the occupied seat).

It is clear that since floating rates are determined by a process in which, before a proportional distribution is made, all obligations are considered with a preference towards a pair at a floating rate (where the rate of interest is flexible), it is actually impossible, so! the system resulted in losses or failed to provide the full commission rate.

The differential commission rate (with a lower commission rate for the floating rate pair) is the preferred option when combined with the fixed rate pair system, it gives several advantages, which are as follows: a) Lower commission rate (and therefore , the best rates) will attract funds into the pool of the pair at a floating rate.

It is highly desirable to attract significant funds to the pool, especially at the early stage of the marriage, so that! provide a solid base against which players can make pairs at a fixed rate; the larger the pool of floating-rate pairs, the larger fixed-rate pairs can take hits! without significant impact on rates. Perhaps, the ideal situation would be to have a pool that is equally divided into sums! pairs at a fixed rate and pairs at a floating rate.

Players who conclude pairs early can be hit with offers! additional benefits, such as bonuses, discounts, free entry to lotteries or vouchers for additional couples; if it is considered desirable, then there may be restrictions on pairs at a fixed rate, taking into account the time and place. Without such incentives and/or restrictions, the pool of pairs at a floating rate would decrease significantly, which in turn would significantly limit the use of the systems!

Although fixed rate players will face a higher commission rate, it will not be a big disadvantage for the systems either! (due to the popularity of the fixed bet pair), we for the fixed bet players (because they can receive the bet before it is adjusted downwards, and because they have the advantage of choosing when to conclude the pair, namely when in their opinion, the rate will reach its peak).

B) Changing the commission rate instead of the opportunity to receive a certain dividend and the best rates makes the system more "honest" than what is often used today. c) A reduced commission rate in the pool of floating rate pairs and, consequently, a more competitive final rate will have a significant impact on underground operators, for example, some bookmakers. Such people offer the final bet, or the bookmaker's initial bet, or the final bet of the totalizer, often with discounts or incentives. The lower the commission rate displayed and available to the public, the more difficult it will be for such operators and the less willing the public will be to make bets with them: 4) The wide availability of fixed rates will also reduce the number of players who fall for the incentives to make bets with such people. Consequently, turnover in the legal pool will increase, and the running industry and society as a whole will benefit.

There are many ways to adjust the commission rate(s) and game rates.

One of the simplest and most effective methods is to change the values of A and/or B in the following initial equation: ) University) MA

Using in the equations for fixed rates A-1-MSV, in the equations for floating rates A-1-5С0Н and in both equations B-1-5С28ЩА, we obtain the following two basic equations used in the preferred embodiment of the invention (except that added pair confirmation): 1 (1- MSvA)x TVM -(1- 5СА)x TV5)

Ud(х-2 2 -- Ж K ХМ - 6 6 6 - и 9 - l«Р« «хх

VK) MA 1 (1-5СА)х TVM 4-(1- 5СЕ)х TV5) zr(х- -- Z Х Й 6FFFFFF66---РОХ) ву) MA

Since the preferred embodiment of the invention under consideration refers to a winner's pair for which MA-1, the equations are even more simplified: (1-mMSvA)x TVM 4-(1- 5СА)x TV5) - RS(U)

UFf(U,-- - vus) (1-508)x TVM 4(1-5СА)x TV5) - ROS(U) zD(U,--- vus)

When using any equation from that pair, we get the rate of increase, which is the arithmetic mean of MSA and 5SV.

A more general variant of the original equation is the following:

A x TVM 4B x TV5 1 zUr(, ((ЙЙ- - - - bЙюL - - rt --Oh ROGU - 5 « - --kK ,

Had Oh VM(M)-Oh ASU)

where parameters A-E (description in the Appendix) can be adjusted by the totalizer operator.

Although it is great! may be changed! during the conclusion of a pair (and they can beat even functions of second magnitudes), they are preferably not changed.

This formula can be the most convenient under certain circumstances, although it can be shown that it is mathematically equivalent to the original equation and can be reduced to it. Since each parameter can be set to actually change the commission rate, this formula provides a greater degree of flexibility in terms of smooth, profitable rate changes. For example, at the beginning of the conclusion of a pair, firmer rates can be reduced! compared to floating rates by setting the value of О (for the equation corresponding to a fixed rate) slightly greater than 1.

RS(U) from the zero value, the influence of О will also be manifested in a reduced amount, and for this reason, the rates will increase. This will lead to a larger spread in favor of the floating rate pair at the early stage of betting and, thus, will attract funds to the floating rate pair pool at that time and create a more stable pool against which fixed rate players can place bets.

Although in theory you can choose any value for each parameter and you can set any combination of parameters, the existence of limitations in the system means that in practice only relatively few combinations can be used.

In particular, there is a mandatory restriction that the full amount for payment for a certain result should not exceed the available empty amount; This restriction guarantees that the full rate of commission (at whatever rate was won and whatever combination of parameters it was obtained) can be paid out, which limits the number of combinations that can be used.

A very desirable limitation is that the rates must! fight adequately! sums of the pair for this result (and, therefore, adequate demand for that result). The greater the deviation from that limitation, the less useful that particular process will be.

The system provides and can support the difference between fixed and floating rates. Without this ability, the possibility of offering a pair at a fixed rate to all players will be significantly limited. Therefore, a very desirable restriction further restricts the permissible combination of parameters.

The following equations provide additional examples of ways in which the basic equation can be applied. In most cases, as here, and in general, the basic equation is most useful as an equation corresponding to a fixed rate pair, but not only. 1 (1- MSvA)x TVM i-(1- MSV)x TV5)

Ud (х-2-- Ж Z 2K ХО И : | Ш 4 ией---РОХ)

VK) MA 1 (1-5СА)х TVM 4-(1- 5СЕ)х TV5) zr(х- -- Х х Y ЗВ ХИ Х 6 2 z yt - - R vu) MA

These equations are similar to the equations used in the previous embodiment of the invention. However, in this form, the norm is the MOV.

The account of payouts for winning pairs at a fixed rate can be done by changing either

RS(U), or B5(X), or both parameters. One of the ways to avoid overlap is to put E-1-C in the general equation: 1 A x TVM 4B x TV5 zuUr(- --- 8 Ш----2ШЗЗ«ЗКМН- - - - Ох РО(У).

Odhvu(m)-(1-C)x B(X) MA

An example of an equation of this type includes: 1 (1-MSvA)x TVM --(1- 5СА)x TV5)

The commission rate can be determined or modified in other ways, other than simple manipulation of equation parameters. Examples of other methods include the following: a) Take a subset consisting of one or more variables. For example, the commission rate can be increased due to the inclusion in TVM and/or TV5 of only the sums that correspond to the pairs for an amount exceeding a certain value (for example, more than two dollars). Of course, the commission rate will be a little less predictable than when changing parameters, for example A or B, but, nevertheless, this method can be useful. p) Use theoretical pairs. Fixed-rate pairs and/or floating-rate pairs can be used if you include them in VM(U) and/or B5(U) and/or RS(U), but do not include them (in whole or in part) in TVM and/or TV5. Another approach is to include theoretical pairs in the calculation in the same way as actual pairs, but include them only for the result for which the bet is currently being calculated. If the theoretical pair is a function of the sum of the actual pairs for each result rather than a constant value for any result, then the bets will remain adequate for the sum of the actual pairs for the zth result!; that is the preferred approach.

There are many ways! equal to the change of A and/or B, but another way! can give slightly excellent results.

After the multiple corresponding to any result, the visual or second view can be updated to reflect the latest values of the variables. However, due to the rapid change of some variables, it is more acceptable to present them periodically (as done in the preferred embodiment of the invention), for example, every 5-10 seconds and/or after the total sum of the pair for any result (which includes both fixed rates and floating rates) will exceed the specified part of the pair limit.

Instead of making calculations after each pair, you can continue to assign a given pair's fixed bet until the total amount of the pair for any result (which includes fixed bets and/or floating bets) does not exceed a predetermined amount, for example a given part of the pair limit, and only . after that, perform the calculations again and change the displayed information.

When a large number of methods are used to increase speed, for example, the use of multiple processors that perform the corresponding calculations at the same time, recalculation of rates only if achieved! thresholds are defined, rejection, where possible, is multiple with a floating point and buffering of data at the output of the processor.

In some situations, players in general may be dissatisfied if several large pairs with a fixed bet on a given result are concluded quickly one after the other, as a result of which the stakes will drop sharply -- "collapse".

One of the ways to reduce the severity of this potential problem! - i.e. reduce the steam limit. Another way is to make the pool as big as possible, one of the ways to do it is to put together the balls from different places, so that even the largest pair does not pose a significant problem!

However, in some cases (for example, when a small pool is unavoidable), these solutions may not be suitable. Therefore, it is proposed that in one preferred form of the invention, a collapse modulation factor is introduced, which corrects the vapor limit.

The purpose of this modification is to ensure that when concluding large pairs, an acceptable period of time passed, during which players concluding average pairs could do so without further lowering the rates. Any method consistent with the goal will do, including setting a pair limit for a certain period of time after a big pair, equal to a specific part of the initial pair limit, as well as preventing the conclusion of subsequent pairs with that player for a given result on any given terminal.

In another preferred method of achieving this goal, the pair limit for a given result is reduced by a factor that depends not only on the size of the large pair, but also corresponds to the number and relative size of the pair, which were concluded consecutively for the same result.

In one form of this modification, the weighted current average (BA) of the sums of the most recent pairs at a fixed rate on the result! relative to their limits, the pair is first determined as follows:

VA - VT) M, where vtT-MEH AT B,

M - MECH M IV,

ME - 0.98.

B - the sum of the current pair.

And B is the steam limit corresponding to the current steam.

The initial settings are the values to which the variables tend to change under the assumption that В and ВІ are averaged over the previous values; VT tends to VX1-M/g), and M tends to I VX1-

ME). VA gives the instantaneous value, shifted towards the last pair, of the average value of that part of the limit of the pair that corresponds to the pairs, conclusions in the system.

The weighted current average of the fixed rate pair values for each result is found in approximately the same way:

VAH) - VT(X)) MIH), where

VT(X) - M/EX x VT(X) - B(X) x (B(X)) AB(X)),

AB(X) - BA x VI(X) - the expected average bet of the pair for this result, based on the average part of the pair's limit on the other result!.

М(Х) - МЕХ x МИХ) -- 1.

ME - 0.90.

В(Х) is the sum of the current pair.

ВЧХ) - the steam limit corresponding to the current steam.

МВХ) - ВІ(Х) ) (ВАШХ) ) АВ(Х)) - modified steam limit. Except for those cases when

MVI(X) is more than VI(X), VI(X) is replaced by MVI(X). Assuming that the value of В(Х) corresponds to the averaged part of the limit of the pair (АВ(Х)), set the initial value equal to the values to which the variables tend to be: АВ(Х)MI-МЭХ) for ATX) and 1) (1-М /EX) for M(X). When a pair confirmation is used and a pair cancellation is confirmed, then after that pair the numbers are recalculated using the pre-recorded values and ignoring the pair that has since become invalid.

In one of the preferred forms of implementation of the present invention, the device for concluding fixed-rate pairs on the totalizer ensures fixed-rate pairs and floating-rate pairs by performing operations with a pool of bets and ensuring that the total amount to be paid out according to the result does not exceed the full amount available. The specified device contains: a) input means for receiving data related to each pair,

B) processing means for determining a fixed and/or floating rate (rates) for one, several results and for the absence of such by performing operations with a pool of pairs, c) memory means for storing commands, specified data and information obtained on their basis, 4 ) means of presenting information multiplied for each result, and e) means of recording for recording a pair of totalizers, and firm rates are assigned to those records that correspond to pairs on a firm rate, and thus represent a totalizer for concluding a pair on a firm rate.

In one preferred form of the invention, the processing means includes means for calculating the fixed rate limit and/or the pair limit for each respective fixed rate, and the presentation means includes means for presenting those values.

In another preferred form of the invention, the information related to each presented result is selected from the given data, the type of match, the type of pair, the amount! pair, fixed and floating rate, limit, pair limit, floating rate pair pool size, fixed rate pair pool size, as well as information identifying the place, stake(s) and result (result!) (and/or participant(s) )).

When determining the final type of information for display, any method can be used, for example, discarding significant figures or rounding.

There are several cases when steam processing at a fixed rate differs from steam processing at a floating rate.

Removes a participant at the last moment

In the event that there are only floating rate bets and a participant is withdrawn after the beginning of the concluded bet, then the bets on the result, including that participant, are removed from the pool and the money is collected again. Then the rates are recalculated taking into account the changed amounts! in the pool

However, the firm bets, already assigned to the second results, will increase in comparison with the same bets, which would have been if the eliminated participant had entered the field on time. The party that financed the original fixed bet (the operator of the system pair or, as here, the players at the floating rate) needs compensation for the pairs on the results that include the crossed-out participant, which must! be refinanced.

One of the ways to solve these problems! it consists of a score of lucky pairs that were made before the participant was removed, and one of the ways to determine the values! the win is based on the last bet of the crossed out participant, the win is based on the value of the reciprocal of the dividend, for example, for a winning pair - 25 cents per dollar for a dividend of 4.0. This method is widely used when the operators of the pair systems are recognized by the bookmaker. This method is also used in one form of the present invention.

However, with computerized fixed rates, a more accurate method is possible. The following method is used in a preferred embodiment of the invention. The degree of winning from a fixed dividend for any given result (in fact, it is counted only in the event that the pair was lucky) is calculated according to the following expression: (1-528)Хх В5(Х) 4 (1- МСА)х ВМ(Х)

WITH

(1-52С8)x TV5 -(1- MSV)x TVM where X is the number of the crossed out participant, all variables have the values that existed immediately before the removal of the pair, including that participant, and B5(X) and VM(X) contain any pairs that include a crossed-out member.

In order to! will recalculate the current rates for the given result, so the odds coefficient is applied to all pairs at a fixed rate, concluded on the th participant until the elimination of the pair on the th participant. The full amount, calculated as the readable amount, is added back to the pool, intended for distribution on that result, after the pairs, including the crossed out participant, are counted, and after the pool is divided by the number of results, according to which it should! pay the paid dividend, and it is reduced by the amount of the commission fee. Then the rates are recalculated.

Simultaneous finish

Accounting for a simultaneous finish should be done when, as a result, more dividends need to be paid than usual. This happens when at least one participant claims a place that is decisive for whether or not a dividend should be paid, for example, for dividends to the winner, when two participants share the first place.

In this situation, the fixed dividends corresponding to each participant of the simultaneous finish are divided by a coefficient determined by the number of such participants. In the above example of two participants who shared the first place, each dividend is divided by 2.

Minimum dividend!

In accordance with the laws that require that the minimum dividend be paid, it is possible to specify the fixed rates. That will hit the floating rate, as well as any other specific fixed rate, and will hit the other rates and the profit rate in the same way as the minimum dividend in the ordinary situation of floating prices.

For a better understanding of the invention and its features, let us now turn to the preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the attached drawings, where: Fig. 1A shows a block diagram of a system configuration showing the implementation of a processing method according to the invention, Fig. 1B shows a block diagram of an alternative system configuration, showing the implementation of the processing method according to the invention, Fig. 2A shows a block diagram of the algorithm work! according to the present invention, Fig. 28B8 shows a block diagram showing in more detail the initialization procedure in the work algorithm in Fig. 2A, Fig. 2C shows a block diagram showing in more detail the procedure for organizing the processing of each pair in the work algorithm! on Fig. 2A.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention described here, accept! different commission rates for a floating rate pair (for example, 1095) and a fixed rate pair (for example, 2095).

For an example that illustrates the best way, take a bet on the winner in a horse race.

Accordingly, the terminology for this situation is used, for example, the sum of the bet per participant (for victory). When describing the second types of pairs, we will talk about pairs for a specific "result".

Figure 1A shows a block diagram illustrating the operation of the invention as a whole. The processor 10 is connected to the input-output bus 14, which performs central control of the entire processing.

It converts the data coming on line 18 from the input block 20 (INPUT B) into all the necessary data, including that which is sent to the display 16.

Memory-11 is also connected to I/O bus 14 and provides temporary storage of data and addresses and can store program commands used for work! processor 10.

Various peripheral devices can be connected to the 14 input-output bus. For example, storage devices such as disk drive 12 and magnetic tape drive 13 can be connected.

Typically, there are several sources of input information and several display devices (displays). Sources of input information can be individual terminals that have direct access to the central processor.

In an alternative design, the sources of input information can be auxiliary processors 24, as illustrated in Fig.1B. Usually, such auxiliary processors are located in different geographical points (for example, different cities and states) and they compare data from several terminals 28. Displays 26 can also be connected, connecting (via the input-output bus 22) to each auxiliary processor and managed by them.

Each terminal 28 has its own display 30 of the terminal. This makes it easier for the player to make a quick decision if he needs to confirm a fixed bet, as described here; it is provided that the display displays all the necessary information for making that decision and, in particular, the rates determined for the requested pair at a fixed rate.

Initialization

The procedure begins at step 50, which is completed after the number of pairs included in the totalizer of the floating rate pair is sufficient to ensure a stable pool against which players can make pairs at a fixed rate. Usually this happens approximately 30-45 minutes before the run. The procedure sequentially moves along line 51 to step 52, which is further explained in fig.28B.

The first part of that process is shown as step 53. Counter X, which counts the participants consecutively, is set equal to one, and counter 7 of the pair is set to zero. They set the equal number of participants, and TVU - the sum on which they made a decision! pairs in a pool of pairs at a floating rate. Since at that stage there were no pairs at a fixed rate in the totalizer, the sum of the pool of confirmations of pairs at a fixed rate (TV5) is set equal to zero.

Theoretically, the commission rate can be a decimal number between zero and one, but it is believed that the optimal values are 1095 for the floating rate pair pool and 2095 for the fixed rate pair pool. Therefore, set U5A equal to 0.10, and 5СА - equal to 0.20. Apparently, the optimal value for the maximum part of the net pool intended for distribution, which can be allocated to return to players at a fixed rate in the event of a lucky pair, is approximately 12.59, so I is set equal to 0.125.

At step 54, the values of the variables are set in turn for each participant using the loop organization. It should be noted that in this description of the invention, it is considered that the data for each participant is stored in the form of variables and generally, as in step 54, in the form of a one-dimensional array.

This method of data storage is only one of the possibilities.

Therefore, first of all, the corresponding values are set for the first member of the list (X--Y).

VUH), here i.e. VM(1), set the equal sum of the pair on the first participant of the pair totalizer at a floating rate. In the unlikely event that the sum of the pair for the sth participant is zero, one preferred approach is the placement of nominal sums! on that participant by the totalizer operator to avoid uncertainties during multiplication. Or maybe some other mechanism can be used, for example, in this situation, the calculation will be temporarily stopped by the sender and the participant will be assigned a bet and a pair limit. Since the sum of the bet on any participant in the totalizer part, corresponding to the fixed bet pair, is equal to zero at that moment, VM(1) is set to be equal to zero. Similarly, the amount reserved for the payment of a pair-for any participant in the totalizer part corresponding to a pair at a fixed rate is equal to zero at that moment, so RS(1) is set equal to zero. Similarly, РМ(1)-0О.

Also, at step 54, the dividend of the pair at the floating rate MO(1) and the dividend of the pair at the fixed rate 5CD(1) are calculated according to the equations:

(1- MSA)x TVU 090x TVM

UdD(x)--- - - Ur(ia,---- vschmh) i.e. vm(i) (1-5 (ShS8)x TVM 0.80x TVU zr(x)-- - 50r(1)-- 5-2 - ears) i.e. vm)

In addition, the fixed rate pair limit for the first participant is calculated according to the equation:

ВХ) - І x ВМ(Х) - 0.125 x ВМ(Х) - ВЦ(1).

Thus, if the bet on the limit amount turns out to be successful, the player will receive a maximum of 12,595 from the total pool intended for distribution to the player at a fixed bet for that bet and at that bet.

Since this amount can no longer be returned to the players at the floating rate that was placed on this participant, then the rates that they owe! if they were received, they decrease (as explained below).

All variables related to the first participant (X-1) are now initialized, and therefore, at step 56, the X counter is increased by one, so that! values could be set for the next participant.

Then, at step 57, the checks check whether X exceeds the number of participants M. If not, the procedure returns on line 58 to step 54 and the process is repeated for the next participant. However, if X is greater than M, it means that the inputs are variable for each participant and the procedure moves along line 59 to step 60, where the procedure is suspended until data is received on line 61 from step 62.

Step 60 is shown in more detail in Fig. 2C. The first entry immediately after initialization will be a new pair. Therefore, at step 63 of the check, the answer will be "yes" and the procedure will continue at step 65. This will happen both in the case of pairs at a floating rate and in the case of pairs at a fixed rate. At step 65, 7 is increased by one, and T is set equal to 7. Therefore, for the first pair, 7 will be equal to one. BA(1) sets the sum of the pair equal, even if at that stage it is only requested (due to the fact that it is a pair at a fixed rate). M and MC24(72) are set equal to the number of the participant selected by the player.

Then the procedure continues along line 66 to step 67.

Preliminary recalculation

As stated above, since there is inevitably a delay between a request for pairs at a fixed rate and confirmation of that pair, at any given time there may be several pairs at a fixed rate for which there was a request but no confirmation. The VM(U) function is intended for storing full sums! such pairs per participant U, and the RM(MU) function is for storing the full amounts reserved for VIP payments! on the same pair in the event of the victory of that participant.

Data entered at step 60 from the Input A block on line 61 can make a new pair, in the form of a pair at a floating rate, a request for a certain amount, for which a fixed rate pair can be placed, or confirmation of a pair at a fixed rate. It can be a confirmation, rejection of a match at a fixed rate or termination of a match at a fixed rate. If this is a new pair, step 67 determines the type of pair.

If it is a floating-rate pair, calculations are carried out at step 68, as a result of which the sum of the pair is added both to the sum of the VM(U) part of the totalizer corresponding to the floating-rate pair for the given participant, and to the total sum of the TVU(U) part of the totalizer , the corresponding pair at a floating rate, that is: vm(yuU)-vm(X)- c), tvu(x)- TVU(X) - VD).

It should be noted that since there is no need to confirm the pair at a floating rate due to the size of the bet, the corresponding amounts! immediately add to the sum of the pool of obligations; I like to check pairs before sending pairs to the processor for inclusion in the commitment pool.

This is done with the help of the confirmation process. When a pair is entered (either by an operator who is called a pair or directly by the player using a touch screen, keyboard or card reader), the details of the pair appear on the display 30 of the terminal. If desired, multiple pairs can be entered for confirmation in this way, and the player can confirm pairs on the screen at any time, for example, by pressing a button. Any errors can be corrected by the operator or directly by the player using the touch screen or keyboard. There is no time limit for confirming a floating rate pair.

Pair confirmation prevents fraudulent manipulation of rates, which other systems allow! processing, for example, those that simply prohibit the cancellation of a pair after the completion of certain tasks.

In order to avoid non-payment by the player for bets, especially amounts for large pairs, which can be used for price manipulation, the bets must be paid before they are allowed to confirm. Payment can be made by check or using other means, for example, a "smart" card or using direct access to funds, and the terminal will refuse to confirm any pair if it is unpaid.

After the aforementioned, the multiple procedure goes directly to step 86.

If it is a pair at a fixed rate, then at step 69 they check whether the amount of the requested pair exceeds the pair limit. If yes, then the procedure deviates to step 70, where the sum of the pair BA(7) is set equal to the limit VI (ХУ) of the pair for the participant ХУ and the procedure goes to step 71. However, if the sum of the requested pair does not exceed the limit of the pair, then the procedure immediately goes to step 71.

At step 71, it is checked whether the player who requested a bet at a fixed rate wants to accept the bet immediately (blindly) or he wants to be able to reject or confirm it (after the bet and the amount are displayed on the display) by entering the confirmation procedure. In any case, to avoid non-payment of sums by the player! pairs, as well as in the case of floating rate pairs, require payment before the pair is confirmed and, preferably, even before the pair request is implemented (to cool down players who conclude frivolous pairs or pairs with the purpose of manipulation).

If the player does not want to enter the confirmation procedure, the procedure goes to step 72, where the amount to be paid out in the event that the pair turns out to be successful is calculated according to the equation:

RDI) - VD) x 5O(X).

Then the procedure goes directly to step 84.

If he wants to enter the confirmation procedure, the procedure goes to step 73, where the amount of the pair is added to the full amount of the pair at a fixed rate, which has not yet been confirmed, namely VM(U).

And the amount for payment! on pair 7 in case of victory of the participant U, namely, B2(2) x 5O(U), they are recorded in the variable RA(2) and added to the corresponding total unconfirmed amount RM(U) for the participant

U. That is: vm - vh) - VA(2),

RDI) - BA) - 5O(U,

RM) - RMSH) - RA).

Then the procedure goes to step 74, where the following calculations are performed: (1- МСА)x TVM --(1- 5СА)x (TV5 4 ВМ(М ))- РО(М )- РИ M)

UdFf(U,-- 5 : 666 -i--7Z. vu) (1-5СА8)Хх (TVM -- TV5 4 VM(M ))- RO(M )- RM ) zr(,--ShMZh8Zh6iiii- vus )

VI) -I x VM(X).

The explanation of those equations is as follows.

As noted above, the basic formula for the pair's dividend per winner (where MA-1) in the floating-rate pair system is as follows: (1- MSVA)x TVU

UdF (y,-- :(:(:::--. vu)

For the totalizer of pairs at a fixed rate, the calculations are complicated; the amount calculated as intended for payment to players at a floating rate, namely, (1-МСА) x TVU, increases by the full amount of the pair (confirmed) of the totalizer part, corresponding to the pair at the fixed rate, equal to the amount of the pair (still unconfirmed) for that participant in the part of the totalizer corresponding to the pair at fixed rates, after reading the appropriate commission fee, that is, it increases by (1-5C08) x (Т85-8M(U). However, the full amount intended for distribution between players at a floating rate (and subsequent fixed bet players up to the limit) are reduced by the amount already reserved for fixed bet players for this participant, both for confirmed RS(U) of the pair and for unconfirmed RM(U) of the pair.

This is the principle! suitable for calculating the 50(U) dividend corresponding to the fixed-rate pair, except that the 5SBA commission rate is used as if it were included in the total amount! pairs and are used in calculations:

Then, on the basis of the amount of the pair for the th participant, the limit of VI (U) of the pair is calculated for the part of the totalizer corresponding to the pair at the floating rate.

It should be noted that the only bets that are recalculated at this time are those on which fixed-rate bets are made.

This method of calculating rates (and the pair limit) is only one of such methods and is accepted as the preferred one, because it is cautious. A less careful method that can be adopted consists in the fact that to the amount intended for payments, not only the sum of those pairs for this participant, which must be confirmed, but also the corresponding sums are added! pairs on all other participants, that is, values of VM(U) for all values of U in the form of total sums! similar values. This will lead to slightly higher stakes, but these stakes will become too high if a significant number of pairs for the second participant(s), which does not correspond to the real situation, is not confirmed (which can easily happen in practice).

At step 75, the procedure arranges for a confirmation of the pair, and the procedure deviates on line 78 to step 60, where a message is sent to the appropriate terminal 28 and its display 30. It should be noted that in this embodiment of the invention, the fixed bet offered to the player is a bet that existed immediately before its recalculation at step 74, and it is conveniently estimated by the expression:

Proposed dividend at a fixed rate - RA2)BA).

The number of propositions of a pair is given by the current value of BA(2).

In this place, waiting for a response in connection with pair 7, the processor can accept a new pair or confirmation of previous pairs (unless this is the first case of processing a pair at a fixed rate).

If there is no confirmation of the current pair within a specific period of time, and in the preferred version of the invention, the duration of the invention is approximately 5 seconds, then the pair is registered as unconfirmed.

Whether it is confirmed or not, as soon as the decision is made and the information about pair 7 is placed at the beginning of the processing queue, at step 63 they decide whether the pair is new or not. If not, the procedure goes to step 64, where pair 7 assigns the number previously assigned to that pair, and U is set equal to the participant's number chosen by the player, namely MO2(2).

The procedure then returns on line 789 to step 75 and then proceeds to step 80. At that point, the pair can no longer reasonably remain included in the temporary pool, whether it is confirmed or not. If it is confirmed, then it becomes a constant of the pair, and if not, then the pair loses its power. Therefore, the variable VM(U), temporarily storing the full amount of the pair for this participant, and the full amount of RM(ХУ), reserved for payouts, must! make corrections so that! will eliminate the influence of that steam. Calculations at step 80 are carried out as follows: vm - vm) - VA(2),

RM(Y - RM(X) - RA(2).

The pair then proceeds to step 82, where they check whether the pair is confirmed or not. If not, then the procedure goes directly to step 85. However, if the pair is confirmed, then the procedure goes to step 84, where with the help of the following multiple egos are included in the permanent pool of pairs: тв - ТВ5 - ВА2),

RS(U) - RS(X) - RD.

Now the procedure proceeds to step 85, where 7 is reset to equal the number of the last new pair, that is, 2-1.

Before entering the main cycle of 88 repetitions, the X variable is set equal to 1 at step 86.

In the main cycle (step 88), the number of repetitions for each participant in turn calculates the dividend MD(X) of the pair at the floating rate, the dividend 50CD(X) of the pair at the fixed rate and the limit of VI(X) of the pair for the pair at the fixed rate. The principles underlying these calculations are essentially the same as those used in step 74. Thus, in step 88 the following calculations are performed: (1- MSBA)x TVM -(1- 5SV)x (TV5 4 VM(X) ) - RS(X) - RM(X)

УХХ, --ШЖЙ8ЕШ2 4/4 :щ56фщф6Ф6666-Ш8-8-6-6: y y yyy--- вух) (1-5СР)Х(TVM - TV5 - ВМ(Х)) - РО(Х) - РМ (X) sight--BB FzhF6zhzhZHZH6-s ears)

BM(X) BX) - I x BM(X).

At step 90, the value of X is increased by 1. Therefore, after the first cycle, the value of X will be equal to 2.

At the next step 92, the solution is implemented. If X does not exceed the number of participants, the procedure on line 93 returns to step 88 and the calculations are repeated for the next participant.

This process is repeated until there are recalculated values for all participants, while the value of X will exceed the number of participants and the procedure on line 94 will go back to step 60, where the computer expects input from Input A (step 62).

After the above calculations, the calculated information is displayed in different places, for example, on the displays 16 (and/or on the second displays 26) and is updated periodically, for example, every 5 seconds and/or after the total amount of the pair (as pairs at a floating rate, as well as pairs at a fixed rate) for any participant will exceed a given part (for example, half) of the pair limit.

Although the invention was described for the case of a pair for the participant's win and with references to the specific version of its implementation, this does not mean that it is limited to this situation.

Indeed, the invention is directly applicable to many other types of steam. In addition, it is clear to specialists in this field that based on the description given here or when implementing the invention, various modifications of it, as well as various variants, can be made! ego fulfillment
