Systems and methods directed to managing computer resource allocation by monitoring signals indicating demand for services utilizing computer resources are described. A method includes maintaining, for each first event of first events, historical registration data and respective parameter values of the first event and identifying, for a second event having an open registration status, respective parameter values of the second event, and registration data for the second event. The method includes computing a similarity score between the second event and each first event of the plurality of first events, based on the respective parameter values of the first event and the second event and the registration data of the second event and the historical registration data of the first event, generating, for the second event, a projected number of entities based on determined information and determining a ranking of the second event.

A method of calculating the odds of a sports play using data fidelity by using a historical database and extracting the most recent play data and the previous play data, and comparing the extracted play to a set of rules to determine if the data is accurate and should be used to calculate wagering odds or if the data is inaccurate or contains an error which prompts action by the system, such as suspending the current wager market until the data that is received is accurate.
