It's okay Timid_Flower, I only feel :sick::nailbiting: and :eek: ..... :p

Huge $$$ to be made... so far my bets have paid off very well. Made nearly a million already today, and still more to go.

 

[timid_flower]

I only feel :sick::nailbiting: and :eek: ..... :p

Even I feel like that for you. :laugh:

Though I am tempted to follow your lead to bet all my money.:whistling:

 

[anthony]

You know you want too.... just bet it all across a good spread.

I won a few last night, which is good, because I didn't do so well on the playoffs, lol. I bet on a few of the tennis matches, I'm not as brave as you guys. I just can't bet it all.

Some of those odds are pretty good, I hope I win most of them! :D

 

[anthony]

If you read what I posted about the exploit, work it out based on another discussion about odds, then look at how I've bet on all tennis matches today, you should trust the fact that you cannot lose doing so when two teams / people are involved.

It will be corrected after 10am my time this morning. About one and half hours away.

 

[timid_flower]

Well I wasn't brave enough to bet it all, but I did get down to $600. Thankfully I just came back to see some winnings!! :happy:

 

[timid_flower]

I'm rich!!!! :woot::D:happy:

I have doubled the amount I had Saturday.. now I'm even more afraid to bet and lose some of it. :rolleyes:

Now that the system has been fixed, I think we'll all see some different results out the end. Payouts before were refunding the initial bet, then paying the total winning. Now it will only pay the total winning, being what it should have been doing... except for my own lack of knowledge on how the backend of this system worked correctly. Learning, learning... always learning.

I've had to think long and hard about my bets now... putting down for big wins, or spectacular losses if it goes that way, using $1m bets on the favourites, to hopefully keep the winnings above the smaller bets on unknowns.

 

[KP the nut]

I'm not really good at this but I am dipping my toe in the water. I'm just very, very cautious.

So winning will be something like this: You bet $1,000 and the odds are 1.50. If you win you will get your 1,000 plus 50 cents per dollar? Or am I confused?

With the system fixed it will be harder to get to the trophy goals. So more risk and chance.

 

[anthony]

Correct. That is how betting should be... but the system was paying out your investment + difference, then repaying your initial investment. So in the above example, the system was giving you back your $1000, then paying you $1500 for the 1.50 odds, so you were getting +1 on all odds returned.

Now the system is calculating correctly, thus for every dollar you spend you get returned only the total odds amount.

So yes... it will be harder to reach trophy limits now, which was the idea. I thought betting was just too easy.
