Wone:
so you're the temporary manager of Goodwood huh JLSLover123?
good for you :D
what if, and I say IF, I build a track ditto to the one I posted above somewhere near Goodwood's stables.
of course it would need the approval of both the honorary Larkosaurus and shortgeorge. I am just wondering whether you could relay my idea to them if they don't read about it off this forum topic themselves.
I can't and won't run a racetrack all by myself, that is why I'm proposing a collaboration.
CrazyGamer2000:
How will horse betting be set up? Will there be some automatic betting machine like when you put a sign on a dispenser, or will it be manual and you would have to pay a person that will give the money to the winner. The first idea will of course need to be implemented into the server and may take a little longer since you need to put in the racers name and connect the finish line somehow to the automatic betting machine so the machine can give it to the people that betted for the winner and it will have to split it evenly. The second idea will be easier but it will be easy for the person that receives the money to steal some of the money, then again it's a a way of getting "paid" but still dishonest. Also will there need to be tickets added or will it be free to the public and will the horse stadium owners make there money off a percentage of the bets?

Accepted on both boards. Glad that you have been taking such an interest. Welcome to the board. You seem to have many places of expertise so I will personally deem your position with you.

It's not impossible to make a redstone machine as I have a friend that will most certainly love to help me with it. Your second idea was my general idea, except I would do it honestly, and fairly. I would plop up a sign, with the jockey's name, horses name, and the odds! I would account for all money I receive during the betting, and find out a fair, honest percentage that a profit for me will come in without putting myself in a awkward situation where I can't pay the punters. I will see what the finalized betting position is.
