I wasn't paying attention exactly how much money I was getting back.. I was just happy to be winning and be getting rich! As long as the winning continues, I'm okay. ;)

Although today I finally had the money and courage to bet $20,000. With this new info, I now wish you would have waited until after that result to fix the system. :laugh:

I'm still pretty happy with my current effort in Round 2, as I have 6 wins, 1 loss thus far, from the 7 games finalised. The problem is it keeps getting harder from this point on...

I just looked at where you put it... safe as. 99% win chance on that bet.

Confused now...

I bet 5,000 and only got 2,550 back? Or is just showing my actual winnings?

 

[anthony]

It only shows your actual winnings now, as the base amount has been removed from the winnings portion. You would have gotten back $7,550 total = $5,000 initial bet + $2550 winnings.

 

[Lady of Longbourn]

Cool. That's what I thought but I had to ask. :)

The problem before was how the odds were being entered based on backend settings. Entering an odd of 110/100 would produce 1.10 odds, which you would think is right, however; the backend setting does this as the winning amount, meaning the initial investment was also being paid back outside of the winnings. It still is now... but the odds are adjusted when entered to now read 10/100 and a backend setting has been changed so the frontend still produces 1.10 instead of 0.10 as an odd.

There are two settings in the backend... which I find weird personally, but apparently that is industry standards to enter decimal odds, and its more how it is shown to the person that changes. So there were two issues... how odds were being entered and the backend setting showing it to think the odds were entered correctly. Doh!

Now I have $461 left becasue I bet it all hoping I will make up the money I lost on bad bets.

If it pays off I should have more then I started out with...if not well then...I'm out.

 

[anthony]

I seen you made some bad choices on some long odds...

 

[Lady of Longbourn]

:hilarious: Yeah, I've noticed.

 

[timid_flower]

Only betting a total of $31k today. I'm too afraid to lose all my money now:rolleyes:. I only went with a few that seem pretty safe.

 

[Lady of Longbourn]

I took the easy way out...I bet on the ones with the highest amount of bets on them. Surely if someone is betting 1 million on the outcome it might be safer.
