I posted this before and I'm sure there are more of you interested in doing this then posted in that thread so I'm doing it here.

We need Bookies. TG and AD have volunteered but we'll need a few more takers from a couple of regulars so they can be started when we're talking about them rather than waiting for the two of them to get online.

Right, first order of business with this is I'm not running it and I'm not sure any of the current staff are either. So we need some Bookies, this allows you to Open, Close and Settle bets. The system takes a little getting used to but it's relatively simple.

As Baz mentions you have to start a thread, fill in the various bits like you would a poll, give appropriate odds and set a closing deadline for taking bets. After the deadline the Bookie has to setlle who won the bet and confirm the winners at which point everyone gets paid.

So I can't just give Bookies rights to everyone or everyone could fuck around with it and it'd be chaos. If anyone would like to volunteer it'd be much appreciated.

A few things with vBookie
- (I think) You can only have 1 bet per thread and we don't want 30 threads clogging up the forum so selective use would be best
- I'm pretty sure you can't tag a bet onto an already created post so if you wanted a bet in the Weekend Football Thread, you'd have to create it yourself
- It'd still be cool to have a weekly betting thing as well though so anyone who really wanted to commit to the idea could make something very cool for the forum I think

As I said above if anyone would like to volunteer it'd be much appreciated.
So who wants to be a bookie? The rest of the into is here: http://www.thethirdhalf.co.uk/showth...Bookie-UPDATED
