Claim 18:
19. A gaming device comprising:
a processor circuit;
a memory coupled to the processor circuit, the memory comprising machine-readable instructions to operate the processor circuit;
a network interface coupled to the processor circuit to retrieve, from a remote server, a plurality of base wagers for a sports wager, each base wager associated with a sporting event;
a display device coupled to the processor circuit to display a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising an indication of the plurality of base wagers and an indication of a predetermined number of available points for the sports wager;

a base wager selection of a predetermined number of base wagers of the plurality of base wagers, each base wager of the base sager selection associated with a predetermined point value; and
a point value adjustment selection for each base wager of the base wager selection, wherein receipt of the point value adjustment selection for each base wager of the a base wager selection causes the processor circuit to adjust the predetermined point value of the base wager by the selected point value adjustment to generate an adjusted wager selection comprising the base wager selection and an adjusted point value for each base wager of the a base wager selection, wherein a sum of the selected point value adjustments for the predetermined number of base wagers does not exceed the predetermined number of available points; and

wherein the instructions further cause the processor circuit to:
cause the memory to store a sports wager entry record comprising the adjusted wager selection;
cause the network interface to receive a sporting event result from the remote server for each sporting event associated with the adjusted wager selection;
determine, based on the sporting event results, a wager result for the adjusted wager selection; and
