Betting/Voting Item

[Voldsom]

Well my members have been looking for a betting script like vBookie, but of course I stuck with SMF and made my own Betting and Voting Item for SMFShop. To start with this isn't a full betting script it jsut simply allows someone to recieve a members ID and what they have selected, I do the betting myself by hand, but I'm hoping someone can do something to actually make this a betting scipt.

Also this is my first script  ever

Save this as Bet.php.

Code: [Select]

My only question is....how does this work exactly?  As I'm a bit confused, I mean, I understand it's for betting, but how does it work?

[TexasBartender]

Yea me to don't know what to do with it lol

[Voldsom]

Well it sends a certain member a name of a vote, the item when used shows whatever amount of votes you edit it for and the user selects one. That's all I can really say, it works in my mind, sorry.
