fantasy football (soccer) hack
 

wondered if anyone was interesting in making one?

for use to bet and take money ?
if yes, I am hoping someone could make one
thanks

well more for store points but hey a means to an end an all that :)

Hehe this would be a great idea. However this would be the biggest vB modification you'd ever seen. You'd have to enter in scores, goals, times of goals, red/yellow cards, passed completed etc.... Would take absolutely ages for the admin(s) to enter the data :(

:( couldn't it be parsed off a sports site somehow?

Possibly but I haven't seen any sites who provide this kind of statistical information via a feed :(

that sucks are i'd be an aweesome script.

tried www.livescore.com ? best soccer site in the world that could provide you almost every result ^^

Livescore.com got what to do with this project? Livescore.com is a site which provide nothing but only score.

just a best site that can provide you the latest score and the fastest/.
I actually dont need the hack that auto seek the results, let admin do that.
I only need a hack that support taking bet and check the result after admin provide all and give/take money from users that bet. that should be enough.

can anyone ? the store is here, it's time to let user get $$$ by gambling !
plz plz plz, I know it's not too hard with admin submit all the score and user just bet at get money !

plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

***bump***
I still need this for UCS, Euro 2004 is near.

Hi dude. Once vBookie is released, I will be working on vFantasy.


vFantasy is designed to be a flexible "Fantasy X" system, so it could be used for Fantasy F1, Fantasy Football, Fantasy Tiddly Winks, etc.

It's not a particularly difficult job as far as I can see, but the larger the vFantasy event, the more work there will be for the administrator/moderators to set it up in the first place, and also to keep things up to date. As long as vBookie gets released soon and I can start on vFantasy, it might be ready to beta test using Euro 2004, but no guarantees.

That's true if you want to try to emulate the big Fantasy Football games, such as the Telegraph's one. However, it doesn't have to be that big. You could easily remove some of the variables and still have a fun game that's less of a hassle to keep up to date. Football's a big job because of all the players involved, but in any given week, only a sub-set of those players will score, for example. There are only 20 goalkeepers (not including subs/2nd keepers) each week, and few red cards. If you discount things like assists, scoring first etc. the amount of data to enter each time is lessened. As I've just said above, I've planned a fantasy framework which I will be working on soon. Football might always be too big a job for someone to administrate, but a team of people could do it. Something like Formula 1 is quite possible for a single person to look after.

tjdrico, you have done a great hack with VBookie. I thank you with all of my respects.
vFantasy would be superb, but even without that you are still the great man ^^
Thank you very much tjdrico. you make community get more reality.

vFantasy sounds awesome, is it still in development?

I guess
if not there wasn't vbookie ^^

Most certainly. Now that the bookie hack is complete (for now, barring essential work anyway), I'm concentrating on the fantasy one. Hopwfully I'll have something I can release within a couple of weeks.

nice work, you need any help, just look me up :D

I've been interested in this for a long time. I'd like to use it for sports, reality shows, etc.

I tried to do one myself, but just didn't have time to complete it.

Here's my DB design, if it helps.

The eurocup 2004 started!

Any news!?

Any news on vFantasy?

Yea hope its going well tjdrico. Great vbookie hack by the way... :)

this needs a large bump... vBookie was awesome, might we expect vFantasy soon?

My Fantasy Cricket hack is 3/4 done, although this is for cricket, and a paid hack. You can check it out so far at http://world-a-team.com/aj/fantasy_cricket.php

(IT ISNT COMPLETED YET!)

Edit: maybe not 3/4, maybe 2/3. Game & Teams are done, just the points are left, then everything that is linked with points, then of course the final touches (and there are plenty of those).

How in depth is it? I was thinking something along the lines of Yahoo's fantasy football (live java [I think] drafts, free agents, trades, etc.) but that might be wishful thinking...

Once I'm done I'll release it here for someone to modify, I don't have the time (if it's alright with the person I'm doing it for).

Dean C right now the Player list is managed by the admins (or anyone who is granted access), I was thinking of getting it to connect to a remote database, but you'd need permission from them. Seemed like more trouble than it was worth, however if you could also get the scores from them, the benefits would be great, because checking and inputing 60+ player stats (with 4-7 fields each) well, just isn't my choice of 'fun'.

Since Yahoo is probably has better programmers than myself (LOL!) theirs is much better. Maybe once I get it finished someone can help me update it, and maybe even get a fully customizable one.

tjdrico, how far are you on yours?

There is currently a hack over at SourceForge that is looking pretty good, and it gets stats, players, schedules etc. from NFL.com, because they have "a nice structured system of page creation. URLs are predictably encoded (such as nfl.com/rosters/team or nfl.com/gamecenter/live/nfl_date_away@home) and the presence of player profile links provides for definitive identification when correlating stats." I don't think they have permission to use NFL.com's stuff. Is that a problem? ;)

Oh btw, heres the link to the SourceForge project:OFFL

Specialist is this possible? To get stats and teams etc. from nfl.com?
