Ugh. I was afraid you would say that.

I don't mean to be negative, but this hack doesn't make sense without a feature that allows an outcome to be a push. I'm using this for a sports forum, and in sports there are often outcomes that go "push" while there is still action that nets wins and losses. This is very common in sports, especially NFL.

There really should be an option for an outcome to go "push" that doesn't wreck the action on all the other bets.

There's no way I can manage all these games if i'm having to have three seperate threads to bet one game...

To see how I am using this in an NFL format, please view this thread:

It's all together, and consice. Everybody can see how each game is being bet.

"Push" is a standard in gambling. If this hack is going to be used in football forums, "push" outcomes are important to have without having to mess up the other action... and without having to have a dozen different threads to bet a single game. There's only one bet in standard football betting that doesn't go push...

Unfortunately, my users have got action placed already and the NFL season starts this week.
