What's the code for adding 1 to the above bits to sort out the odds? I'm afraid I don't really know much in the way of coding.

Cheers.

Place an open bracket '(' after the '=' and ')+1' before the ';' on the end of the line.

After upgrading to 1.0.7 I now get repeated ...

Warning: Division by zero in /showthread.php(1909) : eval()'d code on line 78

... when viewing a closed vBookie event thread, and also on new event threads.
Looks like it appears once per outcome.

Please can someone help me this time

im lazy and didnt feel like searching through all 643 posts (though I did search the thread and couldnt find anything) but has parimutual or real time odds been implemented or would I need to hack it myself?

@dxguru

I don't think I changed anything to the showthread plugins.
What's on line 78?

@argash
I don't even know what this is. So I guess it's not.

It actually turned out to be in the Show Events in Showthread plugin

Original code

PHP Code:

$outcome['odds_decimal'] = (sprintf("%0.2f", ((float)$outcome['odds_against']/(float)$outcome['odds_for'])))+1; 


although I added the (...)+1

Changed this to

PHP Code:

if ((float)$outcome['odds_for'] > 0) {
   $outcome['odds_decimal'] = (sprintf("%0.2f", ((float)$outcome['odds_against']/(float)$outcome['odds_for'])))+1;
} else {
   $outcome['odds_decimal'] = 0;
} 


and it seems to be working

[Andreas]

Erm ... the odds should be always > 0.
Doesn't make sense to have an outcome that could never win.

[dxguru]

I've seen odds of 1:2 on the betting sites before .. ie a $1 winning bet would return you $1.50 including your original bet (that's right isn't it?)

[Andreas]

Yes, that's correct IMHO.
Though as said before, I don't have the slightest clue of gambling

anyone having trouble with the permission not saving properly?
