Looking For Some Volunteers

[PhxRam]

First off, a big shoutout goes out to X for installing the software. (software is not yet visible)

What I am looking for.

Looking for some volunteers to play "bookie" using ROD virtual money.

Just about anything can be wagered on. Over/Under, point spreads, total points, first TD, etc. Be creative.

As some of you may have noticed, you now have a dollar amount listed under your profile

This money can be used to place bets wagered by ROD bookies. Each existing ROD member has been preloaded with 6,000 to start (new members receive 1,000) and can increase their dollar figure by

A. Winning Wagers
B. Simply posting and starting new threads. (a 20 character limit is required to earn money so dont try and post a smilie and receive credit)
C. X holds a contest of some sort, and gives away a pile of cash.

At the top of your navigation bar, you will now see a link called "Bank"

This bank tab will take you to an area where you can send and receive donations from other members and see transaction history.

More info to come as I find my bookies...

Maybe some incentive for becoming a bookie?

 

[PhxRam]

I assume bookies bankroll would have to be loaded up to cover house costs

I'd do it, but I already have so much on my plate right now.

 

[PhxRam]

Maybe I should start a wager to see what people can bet on and rake in the money..

Bet you $20 that I can guess where you got your shoes.

too rich for my blood.

And for the record. You would never guess. I haven't bought a piece of footwear in 20+ years

Yes I would. 10 different scam artists tried this one on me the last time I went to Mardi Gras.

Answer: "On your feet."

***Update***

Users now have the ROD Sportsbook listed in their nav bar

Poke around and drop some of your hard earned ROD money.

This is super cool.

 

[Ramhusker]

I'll be your huckleberry, tell me more.

ok we got one.

As a bookie you will notice a button inside the ROD Sportsbook area

Click "Create New Event"

then select a category

you will get to this screen

you will then be taken to this screen

Here you can add your outcome. Outcome is the line you want to set with the odds.

Click "Create Outcome" Keep adding outcomes to the event for everything you want to bet. You can add just about anything that you like as an outcome. Moneylines, over/under, who scores first, etc. Be Creative

Once you are done adding your outcomes, you simply change the status to open and click "save event"

Thats pretty much it!

 

[-X-]

LOL

That's classic.

 

[Rambitious1]

Wow......that's pretty cool.

 

[Ramhusker]

Cool, we can go just about anywhere with this!

Hell yeah. Now all we need is a craps table.

 

[PhxRam]

Cool, we can go just about anywhere with this!

Only thing I am unsure of "event close date"

I am not sure if you are supposed to close the event before the game starts to stop wagers or if the event closing time means the end of the game.

Will find out

 

[Ramhusker]

I assumed it meant that's the time the last bet can be made?????

 

[PhxRam]

Yeah thats what I assumed as well.

You can adjust your lines at anytime by going to edit.

Obviously anyone who bet with the old line is locked in.
