BuckeyePlanet How-2.0: Sportsbook

I lost my vMillions??? What a shakedown.

We always knew vGuido would come expecting to collect what was his. We just didn't know how bad it was going to be. I'm not sure @BB73 will ever walk normally again, with those vKnee vInjuries. But, we've moved from v to x, and new fortunes in the emerging ¤ market will be made.

Speaking of ¤ markets. There's going to be more ways to earn and risk those. Beyond Sportsbook.

Just want to add that we use ¤ as the symbol for our virtual currency. Is it a buckeye? A caltrop? Maybe Sputnik. If you go bpBroke, the system will give you ¤500 to get back on your feet. We also go through and add virtual currency to our donors/contributors/supporters, year 'round, at a $1:¤100 ratio.

So when does this v500 get deposited to the bpBroke? After a new event is created or a timing thing (like at midnight)? Just checking before I spend my xtra money.

Also... a dumb tech question. How to we type the new vcash symbol? Don't know why I am having a tough time finding it.

I don't know, I need to look into when a user is considered broke. It may well not be when they've bet all their money, but when pending bets have been settled and they've busted out. I'll research later today.

This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but if we're going for something that's closer to realistic I'd hope that it's when you truly go bust. Getting a new 500 every time a new bet is created is kind of lame.

I agree actually... it was a way to 'game' the system in the old BP. No problem if that loophole is closed. That is why I wondered if it would be more of a timing issue. ie if you have a zero balance at midnight it would give you the v-welfare check. Or even if it is once a week/month type thing. Now if it is if when all of your bets are settled... stupid me for betting on the future bets :(
