An interactive wagering game wherein a player can interact with and view a sports situation and place a wager on which of several potential outcomes a result of the situation will be. The sports situation can for example be a golfer with a ball in a sandtrap and potential results can be whether the golfer will succeed in getting the ball out of the sandtrap or not. The payout of each wager can be variable based on, for example, the difficulty or likelihood of achieving that result from the ball's current position and/or lie.
