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.

Working all ok for me

[EasyEazy]

Excellent mod. Great work

Is there a way to make the number of outcomes just 1? I want to be able to put up some accumulators but for members only to be able to bet on them once.

Is there some code that can be changed to allow only 1 outcome?

I've got the 3.8 version running and have a quick question:

Is it right that the amounts that my members are posting are meant to go onto my overall total?

I myself had a limit of 500 like the others but now have over 3000.....

Just loaded it on a live test site & it seems to work great
http://bigsite.biz/vb4.1
Login to any account but mine of course using the password: 00000000
to test I guess. Postbit vcash shows also.
Change style to darker one for better view.

Hi, I was hoping it would still be possible to get a max bet limitation put in?

[Sharkyman]

Quick question.

Where is the page where I can change everyone's starting amounts/give everyone vcash etc?

Cracking mod BTW.

EDIT; Doesn't matter, found it.

Quick question. I am thinking about upgrading my current forum to 4.1, but I have to be able to run vbookie on the forum. I currently have the 3.5 version working on my 3.8 install. If I upgrade to 4.1 and then install this, will it keep the existing vcash #s for my users?

[dartho]

should do - backup first as always.

Howdo !

Is it possible to have decimal odds instead of fractional ?

And...

Is it possible to have a default value to the "to" odds ? e.g. in the image ,is it poss to make "1" default instead of typing it into each selection.
