One of the bettors on my site just brought up a really good and very important point.

vBookie would be more workable for horseracing if the Ajax calculations for a pari-mutuel type of betting system could be disabled. We've got some excellent handicappers in our forum, and if all of them bet on the same horse, or even if most of them bet on the same horse - knowing it's going to win - then the vBookie odds on that race wouldn't even come close to reflecting the real world odds in the race.

In the real world race, that winning horse might go off at 1-1 or better, but in the vBookie race with most of the people betting on it, the horse could go off at 1-20 odds.

So for horseracing purposes, ideally we would have the option to disable the Ajax function that's calculating the odds based on the amounts being bet on the event. It might also be useful to have the option of disabling it for other events too.
