A poker-like game played during a live sporting event utilizing cards corresponding to scores, statistics, teams, athletes and various contingencies associated with the sporting event. The game is preferably played during a live sporting event with a sequence of betting events. A player can make a bet during a betting event, as long as said player is still in the game, and as long as said player was not the last player to make a bet. If a player makes a bet, then each of the remaining players must call the bet within a given time or fold. The values of the cards are determined by the outcome of the sporting event, so they are not known with certainty until the betting event terminates. When the betting event terminates, the remaining player with the best hand, as determined by the values of the cards, wins the pot.
