When you bet on a real bookie, you will have a 150 bankroll after this bet, it's the logic yes, not stake + (stake*odds).

I think the problem comes with the fact vbexperience and vbookie work separately.
On the vbexperience ranking page, we have a total points column (for vbexperience) and a various points column (for vbookie)
For a winning bet, stake is refunded in the vbexprience column and (stake*odds) is added in the various points column.

I'm the webmaster of a community betting website in france and my members dont understand why vbookie works differently than a real bookie.

Hope you will understand my poor english ^^
