Welcome to the vBookie Other Sports Forum

Welcome!

This is a forum dedicated to using your fake vCash to bet on sporting events outside of hockey. This is all for fun, with no real money involved whatsoever. Even when you lose it all, you'll auto-replenish to 50 vCash upon creation of the next event.

Moderators and sponsors are allowed to create sporting event vBookies, using real, reputable odds sites such as DocSports, Pinnacle Sports, and BoDog Sportsbook. All winners are straight-up; point spreads are not used so that everything is kept simple. A random sample of sports bet on in this forum are NFL, CFL, NASCAR, UFC, MLB and horse racing. Entertainment/non-sports vBookies are not allowed, such as WWE and American Idol.

When betting on an event, winners receive all of their original bet, plus a bonus in return. For example, an entry with odds in parenthesis of (1.00) is a double-or-nothing bet. The higher that number in parenthesis is, the more of an underdog that selection is, which also means the more of a bonus you receive if you win. On the flip side, the lower that number is, the more favored that selection is, but also it means a much lesser bonus if you win.

Only short-term events are allowed, as longer-term events (such as a preseason NFL vBookie on who wins the Super Bowl) can bog down the server. In most cases, any events that require over a week's time between creation and resolution require approval.

Also, please keep in mind that all vBookie event creators have real lives away from this forum, and events may not be instantly settled as soon as they go final due to work, sleep, family time, etc. Please allow 24 hours for an event to be settled after its conclusion before contacting the event creator, and/or a forum moderator, and/or a site administrator. Posting in a thread asking to pay up while this 24-hour window is in effect is strongly discouraged.

If you want to request an event, click here and ask away. For any other questions, or to inquire about becoming a sponsor and creating vBookie events, contact a forum moderator or site administrator.

Happy vBetting!

Horse Racing Disclaimer regarding horses that are scratched

From GKJ:


Horse Racing Disclaimer regarding horses that are scratched

If you pick a horse, and it is a scratch, you don't get your vCash back. We have to do this only because we don't have the capability of being an actual ticket window and give back vCash. Your best bet is to wait as long as you can to bet on a horse.
(edit: can't fix odds to change payouts)

Also, with vBookie's capabilities, we use morning line odds only.

(note a change: April 5)
In the event of coupled entries (i.e. when horses are given #'s 1A, 2X, 2B, 12F, 13F, 14F etc.), if you bet any part of the entry, you get the entire entry in your bet. For instance if you bet on #1A and #1 wins, you win.

Also Eligibles, noted by [AE], must draw into a race when other horses are scratched. Some races have more entrants than spots in the race. Assume that these horses are scratched until the changes are released, if I can't get here to post it, you should probably take it upon yourself to look it up via the racetrack's web site.

Main Track Only [MTO], are horses that will only run if a Turf race is switched to dirt due to track conditions. Assume these horses are scratched until changes are released.
