Click on vBookie at the top of the page. Should be clear from there, but don't hesitate to come back if it isn't.

Yet another glimpse in to the vile, seedy and quite frankly corrupt world of the Vbookie. Awful stuff.

No wonder they were all q-ing up to become vBookie mods. It's disgusting. Corrupted the world of TB.

good idea Jeff.

 

[fcukcov]

On reflection, Jeff, I'm not so sure. A whole week could be a long time to go without any vcash, even if you are going to get v£100 at the end of it.

It might be better to have a look at how the actual loophole can be closed:

At the moment if somebody has got no stash, they get v£20 when a new event is posted. This happens even if they have bets pending - and can not therefore be really said to be broke. Is there any way of making it only give the v£20 when somebody has no stash AND no pending wagers?

Can the system be set to allow the v£20 to be given no more than once every 24 hours?

Alternatively (or additionally) it might be a good idea to just instruct mods that they may only take advantage of the additional hand-out no more than once in a 24-hour period.

I don't really think that the system is broken - more that it has been broken and it should be easy enough to ensure that that does not continue. It did work well until the loop-hole was found.

Or possibly mods should be banned from betting on their own books - that would solve it.

Not without major changes to the program - and as I didn't write the program I'm not sure if it's something I could do myself.

I don't really think that the system is broken - more that it has been broken and it should be easy enough to ensure that that does not continue. It did work well until the loop-hole was found.

The reason I suggested this change was nothing to do with mods taking advantage of the loophole (I didn't even realise it had been happening), the loophole has always been something I've been aware of but I didn't think it mattered when we only had a couple of events a week to bet on.
I suggested it because I think it would be a fairer system for everyone.

So you could win the V Bookie without placing a bet if you saved your £100 every week?

Highly unlikely, but possible. The 100Vcash would mean someone could amount approx 1300vcash in a season without betting.

Looking back at the previous winners this would not have been high enough to win a vbookie season.

 

[Foxello]

Im all for this idea. Good one Jeff!

In theory, yes, but that's no different to the current system. The people who never bet always end up with 500 at the end of the season, while most people who do bet end up with less than that.

Is anybody really too bothered, it's only a bit of fun FFS.

I am and besides I like being awkward

I agree - those of us who can't get online all the time aren't able to bet 20 on each new event that appears.

 

[stevewalshwasgod]

I agree. Does you account get reset back to 500 every now and again? I want to keep building on my huge sum!

How did u get to 7400? :icon_eek:
