Make entering in parlays less painful by making certain fields editable #18

Closed ensignlee closed 10 years ago

ensignlee commented 13 years ago

Hey,

So I've noticed it's really painful to enter parlays. Basically, all the pain stems from the fact that once I hit the parlay button, barely anything is editable.

After I select my games, enter in my spreads, and hit the parlay button, I'm locked into the spreads and totals I've entered. Can we make it editable once you're on this page? Have the values I provided filled in, but editable?

This way, I don't have to start all over again if one of the spreads is diff from what I'm getting, or if I'm actually doing a teaser instead of a parlay.

why are you not editing them before hand? i do not really want to be duplicating things?

Because it wasn't immediately intuitive that I had to enter in my lines beforehand. As a user, I was like "oh okay, I want to parlay these two games." But if I didn't put in the lines I got, then I had to delete the bet, research for the games, and start all over.

It's especially not intuitive with the way teasers work. If I was a user, I would be like "hmm, okay so I teased Jacksonville from +2.5 to +8.5; Do I put in +8.5? or do I put in +2.5"

And more than that, when I was entering in my parlays I'd have to go back and redo them 4-5 times on average because I A) screwed up a line B) screwed up the odds C) picked the wrong wager type, etc. It was SUPER annoying. Enough to make me not want to put in parlays at all.

okay i think that I found this bug. phewwwi will still be trying to add more unit tests to make sure that all scoring is done correctly and never breaks, considering thats prolly pretty important. but now i can at least start looking at other things :)

Making this Patch 1.0 since technically our current UI works and I want the site up and running in time for people to actually use it.
