ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems of facilitating a wager include, a computer implemented method of facilitating a wager between players. The method may include receiving an initial offer from an initial player and a challenging offer from a challenging player. The initial and challenging offers may include a fantasy team, and a wager amount. The method also may include calculating a score for the initial fantasy team and the challenging fantasy teams. The score may be determined based on the performance of fantasy team members of the initial fantasy team in at least one external event. Awarding a pay-off amount to the initiating player if the score for the initial fantasy team is higher than the score for the challenging fantasy team also may be a part of the method, where the pay-off amount is determined based on the total initial wager amount and the challenging wager amount.
