To bring the excitement to the people (majority, who are not experts in games), we present the examples, described here, for one person to be able to bet on and be part of the deal and excitement for a third party, as his agent, proxy, or shadow, to bet for him, or instead of him, or as if the first person was doing the game directly, or one betting for another, or one playing for another with the other person's money. That generates more excitement on the game or casino, with more participation, transactions, income, profit, loyalty, and repeat customers. This brings a lot of variations on the game, e.g., stock market model, or derivatives model, or hedge model. This can be applied to sports and table games or fantasy sports. This can be applied to online, real, mobile, fantasy, simulation, computer generated, human based, or casino games or settings.

A system and method that provide non-cash avenues to redeem a ticket voucher associated with an amount of funds.

Systems, devices, and methods for digitally altering redeemed wagering tickets include a processor circuit for performing operations. A memory coupled to the processor circuit includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to receive an indication that a player has inserted a wagering ticket into an acceptor of a gaming device and cause an image capture device to generate a digital image of the wagering ticket. The processor digitally alters the digital image of the wagering ticket to form a digitally altered digital image. The digitally altered digital image includes a paid indication indicative that the wagering ticket has been redeemed, an amount indication indicative of an amount paid for the wagering ticket, and a time indication indicative of a time period associated with redemption of the wagering ticket.
