How hard would it be to add an option to use the bookie's money when settling bets? ie. when you lay a bet the bookie receives the money, and then when you pay out the bets the winnings come out of the bookie's cash.

Some of my users have been taking advantage of a 'loophole' where they make their own events with big odds, bet on them themselves, then collect heaps of winnings. The money appears out of nowhere, so it's easily exploited, and means the site admin needs to keep a close eye on vbookie events. I think it would be more realistic if the bookie was the one who had to pay the winnings
