As many of you will know ive been farting about trying ways to get this happening for many a year now and in this time of resolution i think ive sussed it out. We need it in the forum software not the frontend software as i was trying with
tDPS although that would be good. Anyhow i forget why i was wanting this kind of system in play anymore as ive lost my way on it a bit. Do we want it?
Ive requested a person to come in and do a bit of custom forum work for us. Here's hoping its a small step in the right direction. Watch this space and if it all goes well then and we're up for it (remeber it will be very unobtrusive and it will all be hidden away in a persons profile whch can be viewed via their avatar picture) I just added the 'add to thread' bit there as i was typing it. It might not be the best way or maybe it would be. Anyhow we'll see how it goes and i'll go crack on with the other 2 things im trying to get in. One is a proper link directory. A smart one. One that does the job without me having to go looking for folks links to us etc etc. It will just sit there doing its job and thats that.
The other thing is this review software
ReviewPost PHP User Reviews Engine
It works with vbulletin. Again we can use the less ghastly bits of it and it will be a welcome extention about the forum. Why do we want it? I dunno we've always been wanting a bookmaker review thingy for
TDP Not only is it good for us on google (i believe) and possibly good for
TDP at getting more bookie sign-ups. Its also gonna be informative and have user input and alwys worth a look over for anyone with an interest. Find out about new bookies etc etc
aye so if we get them 2 installed and working neat and i win you all over with this betting record thingy i reckon as a forum we'll be nearly there.

Hello. I am looking for someone that could make this happen for me. I was to add a betting record system to my forum. It would need to be displayed in detail in their profile page and also have their total profit/loss showing in the postbit
People will input the data via options below a thread in Full Reply mode and their picks will appear on the thread and also in their 'record'. The custom fields would be a mixture of pull down menus and text input boxes. The 'Sport' will be automatically set depending on what forum a person is in. They will chose a field from a pulldown menu (Italian Football, Scottish Football etc) and then a text field for them to input their 'selection'. This would be followed by a text field for the 'odds' and then another text field for the 'stake'.
Even better if it was all in a nice ajax drop down below the quick reply box.
Admin side of things? Well i would prefer it if my members could 'settle' the bets themselves. This would involve them viewing a list of their UNSETTLED 'selections' and then clicking either WIN or LOSE. If they click win their selection's 'stake' will be multiplied by the inputted 'odds' for the selection. I suppose this would be easier for you guys in Decimal but if i could add fractions to the equation then all the better.
Nows the bit i havent thought of too hard about as it seems a long way off and thats where i want you to impress me. What great statistical graphs could you put on this betting record section of a user's profile? What i do want is all the graphs to be searchable in some way (if thats the word) I want to click 'Italian Football' and see a profit and loss chart for that members Italian Football picks. I would also need to see yield and other stats but i will get them to you and you can work out the maths.
Admin would have to be able to change any inputted result before or after settling and the tables and records would have to be recalculated.
Please PM me if your interested or mention here and we will take it form there.
thanks
