An interactive wagering application is provided that allows users to place
parimutuel wagers on future events. An interactive wagering system may
enable the user to place a wager on the future event by providing
multiple wagering pools. When a future event wagering pool is closed,
final odds and payouts may be determined for that wagering pool and a new
wagering pool, for the same future event, may be made available. The
interactive wagering application may also monitor the user's activities
to create a user profile. The interactive wagering application may use
the user profile to find future race events that may be of interest to
the user. The interactive wagering application may also provide the user
with the ability to search for future races according to the future race
date, race name, or any other suitable criteria.
