I've got a pretty important question that I haven't seen addressed...
Does this software account for bets that go push? |

I don't want the whole event abandoned... I just want certain outcomes that "push" abandoned. A "push" is a common outcome on many wagers...
Ugh. This thing is going to explode in my face if I can't refund stakes on outcomes that push. |

Ugh. I was afraid you would say that.
I don't mean to be negative, but this hack doesn't make sense without a feature that allows an outcome to be a push. I'm using this for a sports forum, and in sports there are often outcomes that go "push" while there is still action that nets wins and losses. This is very common in sports, especially NFL. There really should be an option for an outcome to go "push" that doesn't wreck the action on all the other bets. There's no way I can manage all these games if i'm having to have three seperate threads to bet one game... To see how I am using this in an NFL format, please view this thread: http://www.orangemane.com/BB/showthread.php?t=16833 It's all together, and consice. Everybody can see how each game is being bet. "Push" is a standard in gambling. If this hack is going to be used in football forums, "push" outcomes are important to have without having to mess up the other action... and without having to have a dozen different threads to bet a single game. There's only one bet in standard football betting that doesn't go push... Unfortunately, my users have got action placed already and the NFL season starts this week. |
Also, for reference, there are 16 games a week in the NFL, with three standard bets...
1. MoneyLine 2. Over/Under 3. Point Spread To seperate those into three seperate threads per single game is the difference between managing 16 threads a week (opening and closing) and almost 50 threads each week. That's about a hundred threads each week for NFL forum admins to manage when you figure that you've got to close last week's results, and then you've got to open next week's action. That's a huge time investment. I love the hack, but a "push" outcome is incredibly important. |
I'm sure you thought about this already - but for the meantime you can use half values for spreads and over/unders.
|
Yeah, I thought about that for next week... But for this week, It's difficult to do that without causing a board riot since bets have already been placed.
Hopefully, for the future, a column next to the "pay out" column can be added for pushes. |
