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

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

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:

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]

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

PHP Code:


		
			
$decimal_odds = (float)$outcomes[$i]['odds_against']/(float)$outcomes[$i]['odds_for'];

PHP Code:


		
			
$outcome['odds_decimal'] = sprintf("%0.2f", ((float)$outcome['odds_against']/(float)$outcome['odds_for']));

In vbookie.php (each bit might appear multiple times)

PHP Code:


		
			
$decimal_odds = (float)$outcomes[$i]['odds_against']/(float)$outcomes[$i]['odds_for'];

PHP Code:


		
			
$bet['odds_decimal'] = sprintf("%0.2f", ((float)$bet['bet_odds_against']/(float)$bet['bet_odds_for']));

PHP Code:


		
			
$outcomes[$i]['odds_decimal'] = sprintf("%0.2f", ((float)$outcomes[$i]['odds_against']/(float)$outcomes[$i]['odds_for']));

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.
