Parlays with ties #87

Open camerondavison opened 13 years ago

camerondavison commented 13 years ago

Parlays may need to have each leg enter odds so that ties can grade correctly. This may be a problem if the odds are not calculated exactly correct at the end by the books. maybe the book takes some juice on the parlay. the other solution may to mark the game as not graded and ask the user to fix the bet, by putting in the odds that the book ended up using and so on.

Let's have them enter the odds on each leg of the parlay.

If a book grades it incorrectly, then when we have the ability to edit bets, then a user can just modify the "risk" and "to win" columns and have the odds back-calculated for the total parlay.

Also, this really shouldn't be a patch 1.0 ticket if possible. Otherwise, we are going to have some pissed off people if you don't want to implement the interim solution.

My PnL for instance is off my $2k because of the original bug.

However, if you're doing the interim fix, then yeah, patch 1.0 is an ok place for this.

that all is fine with me. this has a lot to do with editing bets and the making parlays easier to enter for ticket #18 so I can try to look at it then.
