An electronic sports book wagering system provides a bettor with an opportunity to purchase a sports book ticket sell back option when placing a bet on the outcome of an event. An option may be purchased by a bettor to be exercised at will by the bettor during a break in play or during an indicated period of the event for the bettor to potentially receive compensation to cancel the wager (e.g., at half time during a football game on which the wager was placed). The amount of compensation or refund provided to the bettor upon exercise of the option may be determined based on a current probability at the break in play or indicated period of whether the bettor will win the bet for which the wager was made. The bettor may be guaranteed a minimum refund amount of the original wager upon exercising the option.

The invention is a method of preventing active metal circuit corrosion on a semiconductor device. Non-corrosive multi-layers of metals are applied over the entire surface of a semiconductor, and then the multi-layers are etched to separate the portions on device contacts from the portions on the non-contact areas of the semiconductor device.

Semiconductor non-corrosive metal overcoat

The disclosure relates to an electrical connection between a bonding pad on a semiconductor chip and a wire wherein the bonding pad is formed of copper doped aluminum and the wire is formed of copper doped gold. The wire has from about 100 to about 10,000 parts per million copper and the pad has from about 5000 to about 50,000 parts per million copper.
