    摘要: Disclosed is a method and system for ranking answers supplied by user authors in an online database. A first author enters a first answer under a question. The answer is ranked #1 for output under that question. Then a second author enters a second answer under the same question. The second author also enters a bet claiming that her answer is better than the first answer. If the first author declines the bet, the second answer becomes ranked #1 for output under the question. If the first author accepts the bet, the bet is decided by a judge. The judge enters her decision into the answer database system.If the judge finds that the first author's answer is better than the second author's, then the first author's answer remains ranked first under the question; if the judge finds that the second author's answer is better, then second author's answer replaces the first author's answer as the #1 ranked answer under the question.

    摘要: An expected value system for paying and qualifying audiences (EVSPQ) is an online database system for paying users for their attention provided that they meet a specified condition or conditions. In this system, advertisers post EV payment offers.Using the system, a recipient of EV payment accepts a payment offer; the system stores this acceptance in a recipient's acceptance history, and triggers the execution of an EV payment bet corresponding to the terms of the payment offer. If the recipient wins this payment bet, the EVSPQ enables the recipient to state whether he has met the conditions of the payment offer, and therefore, is owed the payment bet payoff.In an EVSPQ for paying “realbuyers” (EVSPQ-RB) a qualifying condition of payment is that a user makes a purchase after being exposed to a message.The inventive method is a module to be added to an EVSPQ-RB that operates to deter cheating by recipients.The method comprises the following steps: (1) when a recipient claims a payoff from an EV payment bet, the EVSPQ-RB asks the recipient whether he made the required purchase from a seller who has posted an offer in the EVSPQ-RB or from a seller who has not posted an offer in the EVSPQ-RB, (2) the EVSQP-RB stores the recipient's response in the recipients user history, (3) the EVSPQ-RB measures the ratio of purchases from sellers in the EVSPQ and purchases from sellers without, (4) the EVSPQ-RB enables sellers to shield offers from users whose ratio, or equivalently useful statistic, is below a threshold.

    摘要: A computer system that allows people to place, accept and settle bets for the purpose of communicating. The system cuts out the middleman, sometimes referred to as the bookmaker, allowing bettors to bet with each other directly. In addition to allowing people to place, accept and settle bets, the system enables people to settle disputes and change bets. It also allows people to place special types of bets for the purpose of demonstrating probability and quantity estimates. The system also allows people to to link bets to ordinary statements that are also entered into the system.

    摘要: Disclosed is an Expected Value Payment Method for the purpose of reducing the expected per unit costs incurred in paying and/or receiving a given amount of a commodity. An Expected Value Payment Method uses a random number supplier to decide bets that can reduce expected per unit costs in two ways. First, expected per unit costs can be reduced for the payer and/or receiver of a commodity by giving the receiver a chance to win a greater amount of the commodity than a given amount, the greater amount having a lower per unit cost than the given amount which was originally to be paid and received. Second, in special situations, certain businesses can offer customers who bet to win a given amount of a commodity a better expected price for that amount than the price offered to customers paying conventionally for that same amount. Also disclosed are Expected Value Payment Execution Methods and Systems that make an Expected Value Payment Method practical in the marketplace and methods and systems for preventing cheating in expected value payment bets.
