FightForum.com allows members to bet forum points on fights. This thread explains the betting and rewards system.

STEP 1 :

The very first thing you need to do before you can begin betting, is to accumulate some forum points. These points are displayed down below your name in each post you make. You can accumulate points by simple actions such as making posts. Here are the point distributions for certain actions :

.10 - each time another person views a thread you created
15 - for creating a thread
10 - for replying to a post
200 - for referring a new member! The new member must include your name when registering.

STEP 2 :

Ok now you have some points and you are ready to bet on an upcoming fight. Next thing to do is to find a vBookie event. You will notice a "$" next to each thread that has a fight linked to it. Click on the thread.

STEP 3 :

You are now on the betting page. This page contains all information regarding the event including Outcome, Odds, Total Bets, Total Staked, and the cutoff date for all bets.

Place your bet by typing the amount desired into the "Stake" feild for your desired outcome.

Understanding the odds :
3/1 F (3.00)

You will see some figures that look like these in the odds column.
The 3/1 means that you will earn 3 points for every 1 that you stake. The (3.00) is the more readable description. The amount (3.00) is what you will earn for every 1 point you stake. So a bet of 2 points will result in a 6 point payout if you win. Click on the button in the bottom left to confirm your bet. Note that some events allow multiple bets while others only allow one. Now just sit back and wait for the big fight.

Accessing the Main vBookie menu

STEP 1 :

You can use the vBookie link in the navigation bar at the top of FightForum.com to access the betting menu. Click vBookie.

STEP 2 :

Notice the links toward the top of the screen. You can click on "Your Bets" to find more information the bets you have placed, or "Bet Statistics" to see the general statistics for all members.

Notice at the bottom of this page, there is a list of upcoming fights with descriptions. To the left of each listing, there are some links. "Info" will give you more information on that particular bet and the betting stats for all members. Clicking on "Thread" will bring you to the page to bet on that particular event.

Finally :

Once you win all that cash, your going to need a place to spend it. From the navigation menu you can access the store or deposit your money in the bank.

That's it for now, hope it helps. Have fun!

Note : Feel free to request that a fight to be added to vBookie for betting, if we haven't added it already. Please use the suggestion forum.
