Abstract

Une page Web affiche les cotes d’un bookmaker pour un jeu donné, avec les prix correspondants, afin de faire une mise auprès du bookmaker. Ces informations sont également affichées pour chacun de plusieurs bookmakers différents et sans relation les uns avec les autres, ce qui permet ainsi à l'utilisateur de la page Web de comparer les meilleures cotes sur un jeu particulier proposé par l’un des bookmakers affichés. Une interface utilisateur interactive d’un client de la page Web envoie, et un service Web reçoit, la sélection par l’utilisateur de la meilleure des cotes affichées proposées par l’un des bookmakers. L’utilisateur paie au bookmaker choisi le prix affiché en échange de la mise. La mise est payée au bookmaker choisi en effectuant le paiement à partir d’un compte de transactions financières mis à disposition de l’utilisateur. Ce compte de transactions financières peut également être utilisé pour payer chacun des bookmakers affichés et choisis par l’utilisateur pour effectuer une mise. Ainsi, l’utilisateur dispose d’un service Web de paris en ligne qui permet de comparer les cotes proposées par plusieurs bookmakers, et d’utiliser un seul compte.
