For betting on, well anything. You should have some starting cash.

But what I need is volunteers to set the bets. You will get a new profile with permissions to do so. Can have multiple people. Need you guys to figure out how it works.
 
Just fixed some permissions and created a new user level if anyone wants to step to the plate to create bets for others to bet on. Would also need to confirm it all works as it should. I don't have the time to set these up every week.
 
Is it hard to do and what day is it needed to be done by?
 
I don't think so? I didn't spend a lot of time probing it as I had so much else to do. I think I created one event.

You can set a deadline for each event, so that is the deadline.

I wouldn't dream of setting a requirement date for people to create events.
 
Your suggestion fixed my issue, thanks UT!!

It's the sportsbook third from the left in the navigation bar. I created a new user level that's identical to normal members but able to create new events to bet on. So that might be the easiest way to learn, just to try it. There's no worries about screwing anything up.

I have some additional options I can set like naming new categories or changing the default bet type from moneyline to two other options.

Happy to grant the access for the sportsbook itself to anyone who wants to fool around and see if they can create the right types of bets.

Once people create events we can have everyone else see if they are able to make bets.

I have another mod I can add too to track things like a survivor pool.
 
Okay, you are officially now part of user group "bookie"

Let me know if there are any issues.
 
Can you do me a favor and check the permissions? I don't seem to have different access now than I did the first time I looked at the SportsBook. I assume it's the addon called Sportsbook & Betting Exchange?

 
Assuming you know your account password, try logging out and back in and see if it's different.
 
Ok, it does let me create an event in the SportsBook, so I guess the rights are working...we'll see if anyone bets, and what happens.
 
Great. I just successfully placed $100 on the browns.

Does the moneyline method for favored make sense? There are 2 other things I could choose instead of that.
 
I was just playing with it to figure out how it works, so I did moneyline first.....I added a disclaimer that nothing was paying out anyway 🤣
 
...or maybe it pays out automatically? I see your wager is now listed as a "staked"....it will probably take the better part of the week to figure this out....maybe by next week's games
 
Yeah I don't think there is any way for it to know the winner of the game. After the game, as the creator I think you go in and designate the winning side, then it pays out or wins all bets automatically.

Still need some others to make sure they can place bets.
 
Yeah, I posted in the week 5 thread, but no bites....I'll set it up for the Sunday Night game now
Excellent. Now I have to figure out how to place a bet but first I have to borrow some money from mikie!
 
Please do. I need to know that the permissions are good.
