ABSTRACT:
The invention is of a method of and means for playing a sports game of chance comprising, according to the embodiment described, a playing board and a predetermined number of chips. The playing board, according to the described embodiment, lists the vast number of options possible during each play of a specific sporting event. The overall goal of each individual player consists of guessing the proper result of each play or sequence of plays prior to its occurrence, placing chips on the corresponding square, and winning the number of chips times the odds shown on that particular square, if that play or sequence does occur. The game continues until one player has won all the available chips. The novel steps include setting up the game board with particular occurences of a specific sport, along with the odds of each occurrence happening; appointing one player to be the banker of the chips; assigning a value to each color chip; passing out a predetermined number of each value chip to every player; having each player chips on a play square on the game board; directing the banker to pay off the proper number of chips to the correct player and collect the chips from the player's who did not guess correctly; and, continuing the game until one player has all the chips.
