Sportsbook & Betting Exchange [Paid] 1.10.1

[Bob]

I understand why you may want that but, personally, I have no interest in reposting a question somewhere else to get what I'm guessing is a simple answer.

First off, Im sorry you feel the way you do and if I came across as crass or snarky, it was not even remotely intended.

I agree with you to a point. If its something extremely minor like answering what phrase name something is, I will probably answer here, but in your case, I need (and still need) more specific details (like for starters, which version of the addon you are using), which is why I asked you to start a detailed support request as this (IMO) is more than just a simple answer.

Also (and this is not towards you personally, but in general), I only provide support to current licensed individuals. I have permissions in place that check to see if you are licensed and current on your support agreement. If you are neither, you don't get support as I do not give support to unlicensed or out of date support agreements.

In the future, if that is what needs to happen, then this thread should be closed with a link to the new thread.

This Resource IS linked to the support site (directly to the sportsbook support forum itself)
(the button below located in the sidebar of the resource).

Asking your customers to jump through hoops (the way it feels) for principles sake just rubs me the wrong way as a service professional.

Again, sorry you feel that way. I'm definitely not asking anyone to "jump through hoops". It takes all of a few seconds to click on the "Ask Questions / Get support link" and log into the support forum (even faster if you have your credentials saved).

not everyone is going to remember to go to your site especially when theyre getting alerted of responses from you in this thread...

Which is exactly why they added functionality to the Resource Manager to let developers that have support sites add a nice large button (see above) for people to quickly get to the correct place for support. btw, you should have the support site bookmarked anyway as that is the only way to download versions of the addon.

Just a suggestion, but maybe you should simply Unwatch this thread so you don't get pre sales query alerts and instead, watch the Sportsbook forums at the Support site, that way you will get useful alerts like bug reports, suggestions, updates etc. I do that with XenMediaGallery so that I only get the alerts I want and not a bunch of Pre sales questions. again, just a suggestion that works for me.

Again, Im sorry you feel the way you do. If you still need help, feel free to either inbox me or post a request at the support site.

I know. I've been to his site before and he's been very helpful. I just felt put off that he wouldn't answer what I'm guessing was a simple fix and then remind to go there in the future. Just had some bad services experiences lately so he kinda caught some of that frustration.

Would it be possible to add a new way of betting as an alternative?

Something like this site?

http://csgolounge.com/match?m=1328

Everyone bets, and each side get's percentages based on how many of the people who bet, placed a bet on them. It then calculates until the match starts, and pays out depending on the percentages.

Also something I noticed on 1.4 RC1, I don't know if its supposed to be like this, but people placed a bet on my site, and then I changed the betting odds b/c they changed for the match, and when I paid out, the people who won the bets, won how much the original betting odds were instead of the new betting odds.

That is to be expected.

When you have time, can you start a suggestion thread here: http://addons.nfljunkies.com/forums/sportsbook-suggestions.29/

Im actually doing some R&D on Member vs Member wagers, so if you can get me some more detailed specs on how you want it to work, I can look into it. I am looking for more options and this one sounds pretty neat

Also, as Sheldon mentioned, that is exactly how it is supposed to work. When you place a wager, you are placing it against the CURRENT odds and those odds are then locked in for that specific wager. When the bookie changes the Odds, those Odds are for any NEW wagers. This is just how betting works.

Will this work with @******* credits?

 

[Bob]

Will this work with @******* credits?

Yes. It will work with any 3rd party cash/credits/points system that has its currency field in the xf_user table.

Bob - I'm having a weird login issue since the upgrade to 1.4 and 1.5.2. When viewing the forum while logged in, and then clicking over to the Sportsbook tab, I'm being asked to login again for some reason. It was never like this before. Is there a new setting or did something change?

Nothing has changed since 1.2.0 RC 1 in Aug of last year when I added the Event Count indicator to the Nav Tab.

Anything new on that feature I suggested a while back?

 

[Bob]

Anything new on that feature I suggested a while back?

Nothing more than what I last reported (in R&D for feasibility testing). I like the idea (that should tell ya something)

Hello,

I got a question before buying this superb add-on:

I see all US sports but what about the others?
Can we choose other sports in the list cause most of people are playing on soccer events on my forum?

Regards,

Regards,

You can have a category for each sport, and populate those categories with events. Then you can filter events based on a category.

Those are just example categories that I've created for the demo and screen shots. Those are not included with the addon when installing it (only a dummy category). You can create as many category's as you need.
