Tough to beat a team multiple times a year, but KY is peaking right now.

Gun to head...KY

KY played really well against Wichita State and they could definitely beat Louisville tonight. I'm hoping that the more experienced Cards take advantage of and execute what I figure to be a great game plan by Pitino to force KY into turnovers. We'll see.

I always lose my SportsHoopla vCash :(

Not anymore... Congrats! :suds: I didn't see any large bets by you. How did you get up to 100,000 practically overnight?

cant beat em, join em.....he is HB's #2 now.

Johnnydollaz89 just explained to me in a PM that he's a vBookie mod now. :suds:

That explains how he got so much vCash so fast without winning large bets, and also explains why GoldenSpur is no longer listed in Richest People. Johnnydollaz89 replaced GoldenSpur as the other vBookie mod besides SportsHoopla Bookie, since GoldenSpur is taking a break.

You are correct. Johnny is my enforcer as well as helps me with making and closing events. Glad to have him on the vBookie team! :suds:

I see johnny has been "backed" with a 100k bank here, do all the daily bets minus payouts come into play with his bank?

OR

Is johnnies new "bankroll" an employee compensation "signing" bonus?

Actually, yeah, I'm curious about that too. Obviously, the bookies can set their vCash to whatever they want, but in the course of closing/settling ordinary vCash bets, is it that...

(a) ...the vCash the bettors win/lose actually come in/out of the bookies' vCash (so, for example, if Person X loses 500 vCash, the bookie gains 500 vCash)

OR

(b) ...is there a more nebulous, infinite-bankroll "bank" (not tied to any individual bookie) that the vCash flows in/out of, so that wins/losses of the bettors never affects bookies' vCash?

The Federal Reserve vCash Bank? Are they printing more "funny money" again? At what point does does inflation kick in and cost the "Degen" more juice?

Does this look right?

NED – Stake 5 – Odd 100/600 (1.17) – Profit=.83; Total return=5.83

OVER 2.5 (AUSvsNED) – Stake 5 – Odd 100/180 (1.56) – Profit=2.78; Total return=7.78

ESP _ Stake 5 – Odd 100/220 (1.45) – Profit=2.27; Total return=7.27

CUBS – Stake 8 – Odd 105/100 (2.05) – Profit=8.40; Total return=16.40

NED – Stake 10 – Odd 100/600 (1.17) – Profit=1.67; Total return=11.67

OVER 2.5 (AUSVsNED) – Stake 10 – Odd 100/180 (1.56) – Profit=5.56; Total return=15.56

UNDER 2.5 (ESPvsCHI) – Stake 5 – Odd 140/100 (2.4) – Profit=7; Total Return=12

CRO – Stake 20 – Odd 100/180 (1.56) – Profit=11.11; Total Return=31.11

NED – Stake 5 – Odd 100/600 (1.17) – Profit=.83; Total return=5.83

Highest Possible Profit

1+3+2+8+2+6+7+11+1= 41 vcash

Highest Possible Return

6+8+7+16+12+16+12+31+6= 114 vcash

two things, the multiplier posted is rounded up for posting purposes but in reality it is divided out per the actual odds and no matter what your winnings figure out to be HB rounds down when awarding your payout...

I have 20 vcash on NED, but in 3 different bets. Will it be calculated as 20 x the odds or will it be 5 x odds, 5 x odds, 10 x odds. If he rounds down, I will get more if it's 20 x odds.

each are a separate bets and if ned wins your 5v bet will only win your original 5v bet back most likely because .8333 wont be enough for HB to even pay you 1v profit. 10v ned bet will yield 11v. and 5v over bet will yield 7v.
