OT Recursive wager class Re: AutoTote

Hi, 

After reading article "Gambling":


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling

one idea appeared in my head. 

At last. 
:-)

There are many types of bet (wagers class) - win (to succeed the 
bettor must pick the horse which wins the race), place (the bettor 
must pick a horse which finishes either first, second or sometimes 
third), show (the bettor must pick a horse which finishes first, 
second, or third) and so on. 

But I can't find so-called recursive wager class ("self" 
and "foreign" bets). Here I will try the sense of it. 

Let we have betting closed. So, there are money for events number 
1 .... N. Recursive wager class can have relation to the result of 
betting process as itself. 

For example, 
  1. self bet - to succeed the bettor must pick the bettor which bet 
the most expensive resulted position from ones existed.
  2. foreign  bet - to succeed the bettor must pick the bettor which 
bet the most cheap resulted position from ones existed.

Thus if everyone makes self bet the event 1 then they will win 
because the most expensive resulted position will event 1. They 
think the same as one.

They are 'friends'.

Other case if everyone makes different choice but makes foreign bet 
in the same value ($1) then they will win because the most cheap 
resulted position will be their own event. They think differently as 
many.

They arn't 'friends'.

BTW The result of this sort gambling will be known before "horse 
racing". And without it at all! This wager class has universal and 
recursive nature and can be subject for psychological aspects 
reseach, I think.

Any ideas?
