It posts this thread, then sends you to a screen to add the event. I'm still in the dark about odds on sports games though.

Did you put money in one of the boxes?

I edited the event to accept bets until 8 pm tonight. The payout will happen sometime after the game.
Woo-hoo! Dallas wins 18-10!
Why didn't I bet more money?:smt119

I didn't have any real amount of cash in pocket, and I didn't want to postpone my daily interest for 24 hours, so I stayed out of this one. My head would have said pick the Seahawks, but as a diehard Cowboys fan for life, I could have never picked against the Boys, even during Jimmy Johnson's first 1-15 season.

Well, I placed a bet for the SeaHawks since I wanted to have someone on the winning and losing side to see how the system works. I definitely lost my money, the question is, did all the winners double your money? Or just get the win your bet back.
I'm trying to figure that our right now. I don't remember what time I placed my bet; I know it was late afternoon or early evening, before 7pm. When I did, I had forty some-odd dollars in my pocket, so I bet $40. Right now I have $102.57. If mine was doubled, that would account for $80 of the current $102, leaving the remaining $20 from posts tonight. But I know I posted at least 30 times since placing my bet; we played a couple of fast rounds of a-z word games. If not doubled, that would mean the other $60 was from posts and I know I didn't post that many times after placing my bet.
Any ideas on how I can figure this out?
Do another practice game and I'll pay more attention.

sounds like it gave you back your money, plus another $40. I'd like to do as few practice games as possible, since I can't reset the stats and I'd love to see a clear winner on the boards at Super Bowl time. After that game, we should be able to look at the stats and see the top winners.

Wynn wants to know when the next vBookie gamble is taking place?
Lylabean

Yeah! I won 22 hub dollars! :-D
With the bookie system could you do leagues that would keep the stats separate from the general games? ie could you group all the collegiate games or NFL games to pull stats from them? if that makes sense..

I don't see that option. Everything is going to be thrown together on the stats page.
Just-Wynn, the next games should start when the NFL and College football season starts, and will be posted by Lylabean and noway from now on.
