Well, if you create a cash-system that uses PayPal - why not.

Well that's fairly obvious to be honest, but I don't have the skill set, so there's nothing out there at present that you know of I take it?

$vbphrase[anon] won 769 on Janica Kostelic for Super G

Imagine it to read Anonymous won 769 on Janica Kostelic for Super G ;)

Will be fixed in the next release, but it's not worth to update now just for a phrase.

Okay. When is the next release?

Great hack by the way :)

When new major bugs are discovered.
Otherwise this is the final & last release.

Can you explain how to remove the bug that I discovered? It is very important for me to get rid of because almost all my users is marked as anonymous. Or can I remove the ability to be anonymous?

Fix:
vbookie.php

Thanks!

Edited original post

Hi, it's me again. I just want to know how to reset points back to 500 again.

this is the 4th time ive posted this, could i get some help please?

Upgrade to the latest release.

So... what specifically do I need to do to upgrade from vBookie v1.0.5 to v1.0.7?

i am having this same problem,

I just upgraded to this new version last week, and over the weekend, the bets I created, all the winnings went directly to me.

anyone have the fix?

A rather basic question but important nevertheless. Where should the option be to create a new event for users to bet on. I have installed it, changed all the user and forum premissions so admins should be able to post new events, but when logged in I don't see any such option.

create newthread page, right below the checkbox to create a poll, there should be a vbookie check box to create a vbookie event.

i had the same prob
i didnt see an email about this problem and fix with version 107

1.0.6 was new version
1.0.7 released shortly after

redownload the files and upload them. you should be good to go.

mmh I have the following problem. I setup my permissions in Usergroups / Usergroup Manager e.g. for admin all to yes then I clicked on save and all vBookie permissions are reset back to no.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

You most likely didn't follow the installation instructions correctly

I thought I did but I think I made a little mess coz I had previous files installed after I reupload everything it works fine, now. :)

I have to apology - you most likely did nothing wrong.

Call admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields
This will take care of teh problem

Can I please have the answer to this as well. I would like to be able to rest the cash back at the beginning of each month.

Cheers

Hi Andreas,

I was just about to post about this problem, thanks so much for the advice......

And thankyou so much for the Mod!!!

A quick question ...
If I upgrade from 1.0.5 build 6 to 1.0.7, will there be any effect of my current unsettled events?

Would an alternative be to wait for all events to be settled and then upgrade?

Any upgrade path for people using the pre-3.5vB version?

Thanks for mod; it's very nice.

However, there is a fundamental problem with the odds. When you enter the normal odds format, e.g. 2/1 the odds are also displayed in decimal format, e.g. 2.0.

The problem is that the coversion is not correct. 2/1 is 3.0 in decimal odds, not 2.0 as it currently displays. The conversion formula is divide and add one.

Decimal odds reflect your total payback based on a bet of 1 unit, so if you were to bet £1 at decimal odds of 3.0, if your bet won you would receive £3 back; effectively £2 in winnings and your £1 stake.

Normal odds don't take into account the stake returned, so 2/1 means for every 1 unit bet you will receive 2 units in winnings. However, you will also receive your stake back. Thus, if you were to bet £1 at odds of 2/1, if you bet won you would receive £2 in winnings and your £1 stake; £3 total

i have tried that.. didnt work.

This is correct.........I hope it will be an easy fix :) the payout amounts don't change, the display of the decimal odds just needs to have a "+ 1". Maybe someone who's handy in php can find where this bit of code is and show us how to do it.

An unrelated question, if I want to use vCash, where can I manually add funds to users accounts? Let's say I am running a weekly comp, and I want to reset everyone to 1000 each week for example....

2/1 is 2.0.
For every 1 $ placed you win 2 $ + you get your stake back, so that's 3 $ in total.

Hey Andreas,

In sports betting, all decimal pricing includes the "initial stake".

With fraction odds, you get to see "2 parts" in the X/Y format:

5/1
X = 5 = profit
Y = 1 = Initial stake
Total = 6

Because in decimal pricing, there is only "1 part", it includes both X + Y so that the user knows if they bet 1 unit, they will get back X + Y total

I hope this makes sense, I've been gambling too long so this part I am definitely sure of :)

I just want to say thanks so much for this! I'm busy setting up a forum with it in use :D

p.s. I just found the Wiki entry for it, I hope it helps to confirm:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-odds_gambling

Well, i'ts just a matter of how to skin the cat ;)
Doesn't affect payouts so it isn't a big deal, is it?

[high]* Andreas doesn't have any clue of betting nor did I ever use this Hack, so sorry for my lack of knowlegde.[/high]

Hey it's a good thing you don't bet...it's no good losing money. Which is why this mod is great because it's all virtual :rolleyes:

Do you know where I can change the code to add the 1? My forum is going to be for gamblers and they are definitely going to complain lol...

** No guarantees **

In Plugin vBookie: Show Events in Showthread

In vbookie.php (each bit might appear multiple times)
Add 1 to all those bits.

It worked!!! :)

Thanks so much for your time..... I really appreciate it!

Anybody, please?

Don't worry ... upgraded anyway.
