摘要：

Even though enabling electronic betting as an expanding entertainment field, the advanced communication and e-commerce technologies have not changed the nature of betting itself. This paper presents the novel online Real-Time Betting (RTB) system overcoming the online processing and scalability limitations. It changes betting services into interactive sessions by supporting short, unpredictable target incidents as well as crediting winnings in real-time. The security design species reliable methods for time-stamping, storing bets, and verifying the authenticity of operations. A prototype system has been implemented for WLAN and DVB environments. Its performance and usability are evaluated and compared to traditional online systems. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
