1. A non-transitory computer readable medium including at least computer program code for an application program stored thereon, the application program being executable by a computing device, said non-transitory computer readable medium comprising: computer program code for causing presentment of a betting opportunity via the application program, the betting opportunity pertaining to an available wager having characteristics that may change over time; computer program code for determining whether a user of the application program desires to pursue the betting opportunity; computer program code for determining whether the computing device is in a gaming authorized location or a gaming unauthorized location; computer program code for permitting a bet based on the betting opportunity to be placed for the user of the computing device, when it is determined that the user of the application program desires to pursue the betting opportunity and the computing device is determined to be in a gaming authorized location; and computer program code for initiating locking in the betting opportunity for future execution for the user of the computing device, when it is determined that the user of the application program desires to pursue the betting opportunity and the computing device is determined to be in a gaming unauthorized location, the locking in the betting opportunity preserves the betting opportunity for the user but does not place a bet based on the betting opportunity such that the user is later able to make the available wager with its characteristics as existed when the betting opportunity was locked even though the characteristics of the available wager have since changed, wherein the computing device includes a wireless transceiver configured to communicate over a wireless network.
