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.

These problems seem to be random and I cant make heads or tails of when or why they happen

It is completely random but every once in a while the credits are not removed from a user when he makes a wager.

No one else has this prob?

This seems to be happening even more frequently now. Dartho can you think of anything that could cause this? I would really love to keep this mod.

[dartho]

No idea - and no one else has reported the issue in this or previous versions. From memory, you use a 3rd party cash system. Are you able to use the in built one?

Just curious as i ahve one to payout on tuesday lol or does something come up telling you to add the winner so it can then pay out ?

After the event has closed and the "payout after " time has elapsed, look back in the event thread and it will tell you its time to settle

[dartho]

You go to teh vbookie thead and check the "winner" checkbox

[FreshFroot]

any chance for a vB 3.8 version of this?
