let's try it out here and if it gets too complicated we'll remove it.

Basically, as I understand it, our actions on this board (posting, starting threads, adding an avatar, etc.) will give us virtual cash that we could bet on whatever event we want.

I think we'll set up monthly competitions with the person and the winner will be whoever accumulates the most cash by month-end. ideally, it would be great if we could do it with nfl games but since the season is coming to an end, we'll do it with other sporting events to test it out. I am hoping that a Manny vs. Mayweather fight takes place!

i think it can work, if not, it was worth a try.

i'll create a separate forum for all betting events so it doesn't clog up this one.

In addition, i am also adding a button on our quick reply text box that will enable us to embed tweets into our posts. I'll send an example shortly.

Elias, just a suggestion, I don't really know much about this.

On JN if you click to the left of the thread title, it brings you to the last read post. Very handy

Just did a quick google search and apparently it's an existing feature with vbulletin. I've never seen it before. I circled where you can find it in the picture below.

Very cool. Thanks Elias. That saves lazy people like me from having to go thru the whole thread to figure out where I'm at.

Thanks again

[MENTION=35]Savage69[/MENTION] -- tried looking for a vNookie plug in but one doesn't exists. Shucks!!

I want to let you guys know that the stuff discussed originally in this post is all set up and complete. Vbookie button at the top needs some work but it will get there. It is fully functional now so please go into that thread and place your bets on the first event that I have set up, GB at Seattle. The odds are from ESPN.

I do not know much about gambling, Greeks are known to be degenerate gamblers so my mom always kept me away from that stuff. Seriously, she would never buy me a deck of cards, even UNO cards, wtf!! The point of that side note is to let you guys know that I am a noob so I may have set up the odds incorrectly. If something looks odd, let me know and I will adjust.

This is all virtual cash, right now we all start off at $500. Your cash appears underneath your avatar ("vcash"). I will find out how we accumulate some more and keep you guys posted on that. I put $100 on the Seahawks to beat the spread.

Theses bets will be taking place on a separate board called vbookie. Here's the link http://nyjetsfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?25-vBookie-Place-Your-Bets

Twitter thing, you may have noticed it already but now we can embed tweets into our posts. Like this:

[TWEET]<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Dolphins owner noncommittal on WR Mike Wallace <a href="http://t.co/HwTIbICwiP">http://t.co/HwTIbICwiP</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/nfl?src=hash">#nfl</a></p>— Miami Dolphins (@topDolphins) <a href="https://twitter.com/topDolphins/status/556486157438308352">January 17, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>[/TWEET]

There's a new twitter button next to the "quote" button in our quick reply box. Just click on it and it will create the shortcut that allows embedding. You get the embedding code from Twitter by clicking on the tweet.

Hope these are good additions to the board, if not, we can remove.

Best,
Elias
