Add-On Releases - vBookie for vBulletin 4

Please See the first post for a F.A.Q.
I will endevour to link to useful posts within this thread there as I spot them. You should check there before posting issues etc.

This is a port of vBookie for vBulletin 3.5 by Andreas which was a port of vBookie - vBulletin Betting Hack by tjdrico. Permission was given by tjdrico to port this.

vBookie is a 'bookmakers' or betting extension to vBulletin. It enables authorised members to post Events and Outcomes that forum members can bet on. Each Outcome has its own set of odds, and odds can be modified through the life of an Event (bets that are placed are stored with the prevailing odds, so even if the odds change, your users are paid at the correct rate).

Once the results are known, Events can be settled and forums members awarded their winnings.

vBookie uses its own vCash by default, but this has no more use than as 'bragging rights'.

Although vBookie does not have any built-in facility to integrate with any other store hacks, it's a very simple job to hack vBookie itself to integrate it with any store/points system you care to use.

You can edit the vBookie: Add Cash to Postbit plugin to change how it displays.

Alright so i installed this and on 2 of my 3 templates in the postbit it shows vCash 3 times? Any help?

[mcyates]

Is it possible to have the old bit of text above the betting options which used to tell you how much you can bet ?

Thanks

(1) would that be somewhere in the same file?
(2) could that be introduced as a feature/option in the settings?

Another feature request - an option to add/update text on the left side of the bookie home page.

Excellent stuff, keep it going!

Cheers,

Regs.

I would like to have a MAX amount my members can bet.

You would need to edit that plugin and change the templatehook location and /or markup, and possibly also manually edit your postbit template.

I used to have a max limit on my site (although users could get around this by placing multiple bets) - I'll have a look
