A wireless information devices can access betting related services by: (a) receiving and displaying the best odds on an event as automatically selected from odds offered by two or more bookmakers; (b) displaying an option to initiate placing a bet at the best odds; and (c) sending instructions to place the bet. This approach integrates an automated search function, that can identify the best available odds, with a mechanism to actually place a bet at the best odds. The automated search function avoids the need to display a long list of bookmakers names and related odds. This is the first step in simplifying the user interaction needed to place a bet. The second step is to integrate the display of the best odds with an option to initiate placing a bet. The option, if selected, sends instructions to place the bet. This form of integration avoids the need to navigate from an odds checking site to a bookmakers site, finding the relevant event on the bookmakers site and then placing a bet, which can be slow and awkward on a wireless information device.

The present invention allows control of the presentation of advertisements that are associated with television networks, channels, and programs, and enables a single broadcasting of each advertisement associated with a network to be made to numerous television systems in parallel. The presentation of advertisements that are associated with television networks, channels, and programs is controlled in the present invention by determining at television viewer equipment whether the television networks, channels, or programs with which the advertisements are associated are unavailable to the television viewer or are undesirable to the television viewer. Once this determination has been made, the television viewer equipment then presents the advertisements, or selects and presents suitable alternative advertisements. A single broadcasting of each network advertisement to all television systems is enabled in the present invention by broadcasting each advertisement with a network identifier to all television systems. At the television systems, the network identifier and channel map or program guide information located in television viewer equipment are then used by an interactive program guide or other application running in the television viewer equipment to determine whether a local affiliate for that network is available and not designated as undesirable by the television viewer. If the local affiliate is available and not designated as undesirable, the advertisement is then presented to the television viewer, otherwise a suitable alternative advertisement is then identified and presented to the television viewer.
