Techniques for determining odds for electronic betting on a live sporting event automatically based on trusted sources are described. For example, information related to an in-progress, live sporting event is received from sources. Each source has a calculated, respective trust score. Once the live sporting event has started, but before a certain outcome of the live sporting event has been determined, possible future values of the outcome are determined. A respective probability for each of the possible future values is calculated based on the information and reliability information. The reliability information is based on the respective trust scores of the sources. Based on the probabilities and repeated calculations of the reliability information, odds for betting that one of the possible future values of the outcome is calculated.

Wagering on event outcomes during the event

Some embodiments include a fantasy sports wagering game. A gaming operator may assign real life sporting players into brackets based on their expected performance so that players with similar expected performance are in a same bracket as each other. Participants in a fantasy sports wagering game may be required to select a player from each of a plurality of brackets to form a fantasy sports team for the fantasy sports wagering game.

Tiered gaming

Methods and systems are provided for managing a wagering system. In one exemplary embodiment, state information of a live event such as a sports game may be received in real time. During the event, a plurality of possible future states of the event and their associated probabilities (and odds) may be determined based on the state information, historical information, and current in-game information. A betting market is created for betting on the possible future states at determined odds. The betting market is closed and winning and losing bets are resolved based on updated state information.

Techniques for creating and managing wagers on possible states within a live event, such as possible outcomes of subparts of a sporting event or other possible occurrences within the event. An initial state and multiple possible future states of a performance parameter of the event are determined based on state information of the event. A betting market may be created by determining probabilities and odds for the possible future states. Bets may be made on the possible future states via a touch-sensitive display. A payout may be made to a winner who selects a possible future state that actually occurs.
