@Krusty - correct.

1 to 1 means you double your money? Huh?

I have to agree with razorflowers - that's wrong. 1 to 1 means you bet 100 and win you get your 100 back and no more. 2 to 1 means that you bet 100 you get 200 if you win. Total.

Is there any way other than odds manipulation that we can get this corrected?

Im sorry to ask this dumb question but Im new to betting. lol

How do you make the odds?
Because I settled to 7/10 and is only paying .70 of a dollar

How can I make it for the winners to make double of what they bet.

Thanks

This method is correct, you're just thinking about it all wrong. The original 100 stake is always yours unless you lose the bet, it is simply being held as assurance that you can meets you bets. You are risking 100 in order to possibly win 100.

The way odds work - think of 1 to 1 as meaning in order win 1, you must risk 1. 2 to 1 measn in oder to win 2, you must risk 2.

The bet you had at 7 to 10 meant in order to win 7, you must risk 10, that is why it paid 0.7 on 1.

For double, you would use odds of 2 to 1 - say for the toss of a coin.

Is this clear?

Perfectly. Thank you for the reply. Here is a screen of what I did - I wanted something simple that non betters could easily play along.

Good stuff . Although you're probably being generous with your odds, but we're not talking real cash here anyway.

When I put books up, I often check with real online bookies for a guide to what odds to use

Yes my friend and thank you very much, this mod is great and is bringing lots of fun to my board.

Thanks you,

Hello,

Is there a way to show the top 5 or top 10 vcash earners in a block or as a list on a custom vbulletin page!!

Thanks in advance.

dartho 08-24-2010 05:14 AM
something like:
PHP Code:
$result = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT username AS user, vbookie_cash AS cash FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user ORDER BY cash DESC LIMIT 5");
if ($result) while ($bit = $db->fetch_array($result)) 
{
echo $bit['user'] ." has " $bit['cash'] . " vCash";
} 
should do it. Just change the 5 to a 10 in Limit for more

I understood what you said the first time but didn't think that was right. So I went to a bunch of different bookie sites...and man am I wrong! If you bet $100 on 3-1 odds and you win you get back $400 ($300 in winnings plus your original stake of $100). I've been betting for YEARS and have never gotten this right!

So thanks for the clarification, for putting up with my utter wrongness and for a great mod!
