Any chance that the new version can have the option of a vig?

that isn't a setting, its an SQL Query that you have to run against the Database..

Open you DB in phpmyadmin and on the top row you will see "tabs" named Structure, SQL, Search, Query, Export, Import, Operations, Privileges and Drop..

Click on the SQL tab, paste the Query that she gave you and then hit the GO button

Thanks, I knew it was not an option but didnt know where to paste it.

What about resetting the score board entirely?

Just a warning to anyone using PayPal to accept donations for vBookie: I had my PayPal account closed by them. The reason they gave was that I was using PayPal to "support gambling" or bookmaking (because I used it to accept vBookie donations). I explained that vBookie was a virtual system and no real bets or real money was used, and they bought that for a while, but eventually my account was terminated again and I had to set up a new one.

I've just reinstalled this on my current forum. \o/ Thanks to Andreas and merk_aus for picking up vBookie and keeping it going.

I found that if people put 100 credits on an event that was paying 2/1 if that event won they would get the 100 credits they originally bet back, as well as 200 further credits for winning meaning if you have multiple bets available then your users can cheat and bet 100 credits on two outcomes and not lose any credits overall as it was handing money back to them.

So I have fixed this bug to react like real betting

That's not a bug, that's how it's supposed to work.
English odds work that way - if you win you get your stake back along with the winnings. If people are using other odds systems with vBookie they should adjust the odds to take this into account.
There is a bug though, in that vBookie incorrectly displays the odds in decimal format - as mentioned here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=631


Maybe there could be an option to choose which kind of odds system to use, it might be confusing if lots of people who are used to the existing system have to get used to something new, particularly if the new system is different to what they're used to seeing at real bookmakers.

I had the exact thing happen to me with both vBookie and the Casino add on... PP did an audit and shut me down for "gambling" .. once I explained that it was all "virtual" they reactivated my PP account... then about a year later, same thing happened again.

Its not a simple answer.. multiple tables involved and it depends on what you are willing to also get rid of along with it.
