Reply to this thread or send me a pm to discuss future and hope it gives us all hope of a new improved vbookie - if I am coding myself (to the standards) we are probably looking at a couple of months before its done but if more coders come on and we do our part it could be slightly quicker.
EDIT: I forgot to mention it will be a major code rewrite for it however working of the base of Andreas version.

If you'd add an option to settle bets with more than one Winner checked in the winning column, then it could be fairly effective for horse racing. We've been using it for horse racing in my forum, but the only bet that can be made is Win. There's no payout for Place or Show unless you create three separate events for the same race, and then there's the issue of three horses paying Show money. If there was an option to click "Number of Winners" and select a number, then I'd click "3" and it would calculate the Show payouts for all three... in the Place event I'd click "2" to get the payouts. Actually, if it had an option to calculate the odds by a percentage like "Pay 50% odds" or "Set Percentage Payout", that would be perfect for the Place or Show payouts in a horse racing event.
Our currency of choice is Reputation Points and it works only if the vCash option or one of the other cash options is selected in CP Admin. If one of those options isn't selected, it doesn't do the calculations. Of course that means having the "vCash 500" icon sitting there useless and meaningless, but it does deduct or add Reputation Points.
There are lots of other options I'd like to see, but this could be a really popular add-on if it's done right and has enough available options. It's got the foundation of one.
EDIT: Another option that needs to be added - desperately needs to be added - is the option to change your bet before the bet cut-off expires. Several people in my forum have accidentally placed the wrong bet and wanted to change it, but they're basically out of luck if they do make the wrong bet. To me it seems that's a necessary option.
