vBookie for vBulletin 4 · **Released**: 01-18-2010

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.

Technically it's missing the vig. Most bookies charge one...

When you bet on a real bookie, you will have a 150 bankroll after this bet, it's the logic yes, not stake + (stake*odds).

I think the problem comes with the fact vbexperience and vbookie work separately.
On the vbexperience ranking page, we have a total points column (for vbexperience) and a various points column (for vbookie)
For a winning bet, stake is refunded in the vbexprience column and (stake*odds) is added in the various points column.

I'm the webmaster of a community betting website in france and my members dont understand why vbookie works differently than a real bookie.

Hope you will understand my poor english ^^

dartho · #**454** 08-20-2010, 10:11 PM

Yes - I am having trouble working out what you are trying to tell me.

vbookie: you bet 100, if you win, your 100 is returned and you win stake * odds. Where is the problem in this?

I do not use vbexperience and do not know what you mean by ranking page. Is it vbexperience that you are having issues with?

I could add in a vigorish I guess if there was a call for it...

That's the problem in a real bookie you can't win your stake + (stake*odds) on a bet.

You bet 100 at 1/2 you cant have 250 in your bankroll, only 150..

Its (stake*odds) - 1 = your winnings or (stake*odds)-stake

Is it better ?

Maybe you are right when you say its a possible problem with vbexperience, cause the amount is right with vbookie, but stake is refunded always on vbexperience too...

dartho · #**456** 08-20-2010, 11:57 PM

Yes - sounds like a vbexperience issue.

dartho

In vbookie pack :

I want to remove the refunded stake for a winning bet. My problem is just for winning bet. Can i change a line code in php files, where ?

I mean put that : (stake*odds)-stake = winning bet

Thanks for your help and patience

dartho · #**459** 08-21-2010, 08:28 AM

Untested, but you could probably comment out line 1110 in vbookie.php which should read:

Code:

$amount_to_pay = $amount_won + $bet['bet_amount_placed'];// stake back

Thanks a lot man, now it's ok

Krusty1231 · #**461** 08-21-2010, 07:13 PM

So to make sure I have my stakes right.

1 to 1 odds pays you your stake back plus your bet. Example - I bet 100 - I win 100 so I get 200 back right?

2 to 1 odds pays you your stake back plus your bet. Example - I bet 100 - I win 200 so I get 300 back right?

Or am I wrong?

Thanks for any reply.
