Participants in the competition are referred to as RAPpers. Particularly spectator of a live sport match or athletic can participate in betting only seconds before the subject of betting occurs, allowing spectators to place the bet at exciting moments of an ongoing match easily without distraction from the match, or athletic event and hence dramatically increase in excitement of watching the match for spectators, and also provides mobile means of competition by entering accurate statistics of live sport matches in single or multi-player mode.

RFID tags are used in this invention to achieve considerable improvements on usability and control of legitimacy of the RAPing competition.
