    New type of wager - how to?
    If someone came up with a new type of wager that would be extremely popular among players, could that be patented? Would it make sense to go through the whole legal process of protecting it as intellectual property or something along those lines, or would it be impossible to enforce? I'm not talking about some little idea, but about something that could change the way people bet.

    Who would one contact? Where would one start?

      No way to get a patent on something tangible. You cant patent a sandwich, a cocktail or Hold'em Poker. I believe Ballys Entertainment has a patent on Grand Prix Poker, which we all call Let It Ride. Nobody pays Ballys to use the Grand Prix Poker table layout, they just use the generic Let It Ride layout.
