Abstract

An interactive wagering application is provided that assists users in finding races on which the users desire to wager on and that assists users in placing wagers on the desired races. The application may provide a search feature that allows the user to search for races based on user inputted search criteria such as favorite jockey, trainer, runner, or any suitable combination thereof. The application may also provide a next hour feature that searches for upcoming races that start within a certain time period. The application may also display an interactive overlay that contains information to assist users in creating a wager. The interactive overlay may be displayed when a user highlights or points to information. The interactive overlay may contain, for example, an estimated current payout for a specific wager amount, the total amount of the wager, the weather conditions at a racetrack, or any other suitable information. The application may be implemented using platforms based on set-top boxes, personal computers, handheld computing devices, cellular telephones, or other suitable devices.
