Cheers.

Worked on in what sense? Some of the text isn't phrased, but they work OK. I think the presentation of a couple of things, like bet preview and View Event could be prettier, but is there anything specific?

yep by working on i just mean made prettier, thiers a few things which seem (sorry can't think of a better word) illogical to me in thier presentation, but saying that i should stop being lazy and get it work the way i think would look best instead of just bombaring you with complaints, so i apologise, it's a great hack

I've got an update to put up which makes things a little better I think. It shows odds as decimals as well as fractions (outside of the UK I think decimals are more common), and also shows the popularity of each outcome using poll-style bars. There's a new option when creating a bet so that you can make it so people can only bet on a single outcome, rather than spread betting. That's in what I'm calling 0.7 Beta 1 which is only installed on my own forum at the moment, but since no one seems to be reporting any problems, I think I'm going to aim for a release version over the weekend.

In other words, if you want to hack the presentation, I'd hold off for a few days (assuming you'll upgrade to the release version).

This is a great hack especially with Euro 2004 coming up :)

Would it be possible to add the ability to have doubles, trebles, round robins etc, OK may be I'm going a bit to far :D

i'm unable to find an error yet, but my bet wraps up at midnight should nothing go wrong with that, i'll be sure to take a look at making the templates a little nice.

what would be good would be the ability to set an option so people can only participate if they've posted in the thread.

Would it be a good idea to somehow integrate it with the arcade too so that people can take bets on who wins challanges and so on?

There's just so many options for this hack :)

Enhancements Not Yet Released

Completed as of 0.7 Beta 1

• Added switch to specify whether punters may bet on more than one outcome
• Added "decimal odds" display as well as the UK style fractional display
• Added graphical display of the relative popularity of each outcome on a bet (like poll results)

TODO

This is the current list of things I plan on adding to vBookie imminently:

• add option to award a gratuity to all users when a new bet is placed
  (so everyone always has *something* to play with, even if it's only a
  small amount). Alternatively, only make awards to people on zero.
• Add 'accumulator' bets
• Add "each way" betting
• Build in a switch to use Petz points instead of vCash
• Improve user feedback on bet status and why they can't bet.

Please email me any requests or add them to this thread.

sounds great, hopefully the upgrade won't be too hard
