Examples

Organized betting on Sports is an example of Real World Knowledge Advantages since knowing the current performance of dogs, horses, or teams can let players have better understanding of the true odds rather than those offered. Fantasy Sports such as Fantasy Football are similar but here players create imaginative teams based on the statistics of performers of the real sports, and these games may or may not involve monetary rewards.

Quiz Games such as Trivial Pursuit and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? are based around the players' knowledge about worldly facts, and therefor quite naturally players may have Real World Knowledge Advantages.
