I do like this idea - I'll have to think on how best to implement. Unfortunately, I don't believe this would be straight-forward fix, but I will certainly look into... ...

But I don't quite understand what your issue is with the Edit registry. You don't have to look through it, so what exactly is the problem? The uppercase "YOU" could have simply been lowercase.

But Gamewise is toast at this point, and the original game database has been resurrected (and enhanced) - and, of...

What's the difference between my entering a bet and...

mutantsushi said: Just gotta say I don't understand the fixed pay-out ratio thing.

TomaTito said: The editing has been changed again. Not sure I like having a history registry of my edits... Well - only YOU see your historic edits.
