If you are updating the vbookie.php script I will recommend a few changes:

1. Make sure the odds are determined/queried and set from the database and not client-end sent form variables as is the case at present by default. The odds are easily forged by default and makes cheating the easiest thing in the world.

2. Place a restriction on the frequency a user can place bets. At least no more than one bet every 5-10 seconds. If you don't, we've found it's possible to hammer the server in quick succession with bets and users to acquire an insane amount of money through a bug of some kind. I've seen this replicated on a number of vbookie installations. Since we placed a small restriction on frequency of bets, no user has earned a crazy amount of money on our sites.

Furthermore, some Templates need to be reworked.
If everything goes well, this should reach a point where we could do some closed beta-testing tomorrow.
But for now I have to get some sleep first
Count me in on beta testing it KirbyDE. Feel free to e-mail me at

Check your PMs. I have a little ol' 3.5 testbed that's collecting dust. Bit the bullet and went active with 3.5, so there's no reason for anyone to play on the testbed right now. This'll bring 'em back.

@Nighteyes
Issue 1) has been removed.
Don't know yet how 2) could happen, but i'll take a look.

Everybody interested in Beta-testing (well ... I should better call it pre-alpha ), please contact me via PM.

We spent weeks looking at issue number 2 and could never resolve it. All we know is when the script was used AS IS with no time restriction on bets, at least one user a week (on different sites with different mysql versions) would see their vCash balance hit millions of virtual dollars by double clicking when placing a bet. Since we implemented a solution to prevent users from betting every second, it's never happened since.... and this restriction has been enforced for months.

I'll be glad to help beta test once our development site is up to 3.5. I'm currently testing our 3.0.8 upgrades due to go live this weekend.
