Hi dude. Once vBookie is released, I will be working on vFantasy.


vFantasy is designed to be a flexible "Fantasy X" system, so it could be used for Fantasy F1, Fantasy Football, Fantasy Tiddly Winks, etc.

It's not a particularly difficult job as far as I can see, but the larger the vFantasy event, the more work there will be for the administrator/moderators to set it up in the first place, and also to keep things up to date. As long as vBookie gets released soon and I can start on vFantasy, it might be ready to beta test using Euro 2004, but no guarantees.

That's true if you want to try to emulate the big Fantasy Football games, such as the Telegraph's one. However, it doesn't have to be that big. You could easily remove some of the variables and still have a fun game that's less of a hassle to keep up to date. Football's a big job because of all the players involved, but in any given week, only a sub-set of those players will score, for example. There are only 20 goalkeepers (not including subs/2nd keepers) each week, and few red cards. If you discount things like assists, scoring first etc. the amount of data to enter each time is lessened. As I've just said above, I've planned a fantasy framework which I will be working on soon. Football might always be too big a job for someone to administrate, but a team of people could do it. Something like Formula 1 is quite possible for a single person to look after.

Most certainly. Now that the bookie hack is complete (for now, barring essential work anyway), I'm concentrating on the fantasy one. Hopwfully I'll have something I can release within a couple of weeks.
