Good stuff . Although you're probably being generous with your odds, but we're not talking real cash here anyway.

When I put books up, I often check with real online bookies for a guide to what odds to use

The way odds work - think of 1 to 1 as meaning in order win 1, you must risk 1. 2 to 1 measn in oder to win 2, you must risk 2.

The bet you had at 7 to 10 meant in order to win 7, you must risk 10, that is why it paid 0.7 on 1.

For double, you would use odds of 2 to 1 - say for the toss of a coin.

Is this clear?

Yes my friend and thank you very much, this mod is great and is bringing lots of fun to my board.

Thanks you,

Hello,

Is there a way to show the top 5 or top 10 vcash earners in a block or as a list on a custom vbulletin page!!

Thanks in advance.

[dartho]

something like:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

should do it. Just change the 5 to a 10 in Limit for more

I understood what you said the first time but didn't think that was right. So I went to a bunch of different bookie sites...and man am I wrong! If you bet $100 on 3-1 odds and you win you get back $400 ($300 in winnings plus your original stake of $100). I've been betting for YEARS and have never gotten this right!

So thanks for the clarification, for putting up with my utter wrongness and for a great mod!

Hi there, I'm trying to upload the upload folder to my forum but am getting the following message :

XML Error: not well-formed (invalid token) at Line 1

Any ideas? I'm a complete noob Also, its vb 4.04. Thanks

[dartho]

Step 3. in teh instructions should be done ia teh Product Manager (AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product] -> Browse to the XML, and then click 'Import' button

[bruneiguru]

OK thanks I'll give it a try now

[bruneiguru]

OK I uploaded the files to my server home directory and extracted the files. Then did the xml through vb cpanel as described.

The button is now showing on the forum tabs but is a broken link. What have I missed please? The link to site is www.bruneiguru.com any help much appreciated

[dartho]

Where did you upload vbookie.php to? If you uploaded teh zip to your home, chances are teh files are in your home directory and not your web directory.

Try unzipping to a temp local directory, and then upload to the root of your web space (httpdocs / public_html or some such thing) - same place you uploaded your vBulletin files to

[bruneiguru]

Still no good Re-uploaded all files to /public_html

The folders are showing and the plugins are all active in the vb admin panel but the link is dead. I've gone to general options and vbookie is active there too. Only thing I can't find is user permissions to edit.

Completely stuck now. I must be missing some simple step

[dartho]

Hi Bruneiguru. You are not meant to upload teh "upload" folder itself, you should upload the contents of it to /public_html (http://bruneiguru.com/upload/vbookie.php exists on your server, but it should be http://bruneiguru.com/upload/vbookie.php)

[bruneiguru]

Hi dartho, thanks very much for your help today. Been a great help. I think its a step beyond me for the time being. I'm with urljet so I'm just firing a support ticket off to them to see if they can rejig the files. I think you're spot-on though, I did just wholesale upload the complete file.

Thanks again for your help, Its much appreciated. Will let you know the outcome

awesome! installed, fav and nominated! thankyou very much.

Fixed, I downloaded 4.0.6 instead of 4.0.9

Now few questions.

1) I know that by default each member will have 500 of vcash. So it is up to them how they use the 500. Is that the only way they can play?

I mean lets say I have a forum with 30,000 members and I open a vbookie event.

Now lets say 10 of those members use their max vcash which is 500.

And next day they want to place another new bet, but they will be on 0?

How do I tackle this. If they are on 0 and I manually give them vcash from settings, will it not be unfair for the other members?.
