1. A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device, comprising:
a first exposing and printing step of forming a first exposed and printed area on a semiconductor substrate using a reticle having a pattern corresponding to a plurality of semiconductor elements that are separated by a first scribe line;
a second exposing and printing step of forming a second exposed and printed area on said semiconductor substrate so that a second scribe line extends between said first exposed and printed area and said second exposed and printed area, which has a width larger than a width of said first scribe line; and
a step of individualizing the semiconductor elements by cutting and separating said semiconductor substrate along said first scribe line and said second scribe line.
2. The manufacturing method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising setting the width of said first scribe line to a minimum width by which said semiconductor substrate can be cut.
3. A testing method of a semiconductor device in which a plurality of semiconductor element areas are formed on a semiconductor substrate by forming a plurality of unit exposed and printed areas including a first unit exposed and printed area and a second unit exposed and printed area each of which contains the semiconductor element areas, the testing method comprising:
simultaneously testing the semiconductor elements located at corresponding positions in the first unit exposed and printed area and the second unit exposed and printed area.
4. The testing method as claimed in claim 3, further comprising correcting a position at which an electric contact is made to the semiconductor element area within said second exposed and printed area in accordance with a positional error between said first exposed and printed area and said second exposed and printed area.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.

5. The method of claim 3 wherein said plurality of individual actions comprises a first round leader; a second round leader; participants who qualify for later rounds; participants who fail to qualify for later rounds; a third round leader; a tournament winner.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein said multi-action event is a bicycle race.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein said rankings are tabulated by Union Cycliste Internationale.
8. The method of claim 1 wherein said multi-action event is an automobile race wherein said automobiles complete at least one lap of a course.
9. The method of claim 8 wherein said automobile race is a NASCAR race.
10. The method of claim 9 wherein said rankings are tabulated by NASCAR.
11. The method of claim 9 wherein said plurality of individual actions comprises a pole position winner; fastest car in Happy Hour; winner of official NASCAR race; driver to lead the most laps; driver to lead the most laps and win; driver to lead the most laps and not win.
12. The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of:
g. simulcasting video of said event; and
h. highlighting wager-specific information on said video.
13. A method for conducting pari-mutuel wagering on a multi-action event having a plurality of individual actions, the method comprising:
a. providing at least one wagering computing system for ranking of participants in said event;
b. establishing preliminary odds of winning a wager, based in part upon said rankings, for each of said plurality of individual actions within said multi-action event;
c. accepting wagers for each of said plurality of individual actions;
d. pooling respective wagers for each of said plurality of individual actions into a respective action-specific pool;
e. calculating, using said wagering computing system, final odds of winning each of said plurality of individual actions using said action-specific pool;
f. paying winnings as determined by said final odds to one or more bettors who wagered a correct outcome for each of said plurality of individual actions;
g. simulcasting video of said event; and
h. highlighting wager-specific information on said video,
wherein said highlighting is by a telestrator.
14. A method for conducting pari-mutuel wagering on a multi-day event having a plurality of individual action days, the method comprising the steps of:
a. providing at least one wagering computing system for initially ranking participants in the event;
b. establishing preliminary odds of winning a wager, based in part upon said initial rankings, for each of the plurality of individual action days within the multi-day event;
c. accepting initial wagers for each of the plurality of individual action days based upon said initial rankings;
d. pooling respective initial wagers for each of the plurality of individual action days into respective initial action day specific pools;
e. calculating, using said wagering computing system, respective final odds of winning each of the plurality of individual action days using each respective initial action day specific pool;
g. establishing updated odds of winning a wager, based in part upon each participant’s finishing position after a previous day of the multi-day event, for each remaining individual action day within the multi-day event;
h. accepting updated wagers for each remaining individual action day based upon said updated odds;
i. pooling respective updated wagers for each remaining individual action day into respective updated action day specific pools;
j. calculating, using said wagering computing system, respective updated final odds of winning each of the remaining action days using each respective updated action day specific pool;
