Bookmaker Example

scruffd0g - August 14, 2007 - 20:13

Would anyone who's using the "bookmaker" mod mind showing me an example of what it looks like in action? I'm wondering if it will work w/ what I want to do, but I was hoping to see an example of it in use before I installed it and then tried to figure it out (plus I'm a bit impatient and I'm out of town for a couple of days and couldn't load it up if I wanted to).

What I'm hoping to build is a 'pick'em' site for friends and family where I can set up different weeks of college football games for us to pick, and then have the db calculate the weekly & cumulative winners (after I manually input the game scores). I was also hoping to figure out a way to have multiple games run on the site (multiple pools) that members can participate in (family members only in one pool, family in friends in another w/ some crossover). This would mean that a member would participate in multiple groups. Perhaps there's a way to get this to work through OG?

I'd appreciate any help. I've seen some posts here and there about the 'tipping' module and other people trying to put together "fantasy" sports websites, but didn't really find anything being followed through, or examples of their work.

I've found an .asp/access db script that I can use as a "sister" site for 1 pool that I could link to from my family website, but I was hoping that 'bookmaker" or some other solution through drupal so I could maintain everything from 1 place.

Thanks for your help!

Not yet. I did talk to a guy that was trying to do this earlier, but he ended up hiring someone to do it, and they switched the project to ROR. I've got a couple of other projects that I'm working on right now, so this is on the backburner for now. However, since I'm swamped, and would need a lot of time to teach myself out to create the things I want to have, I'm pretty close to seeing how much it would cost to have someone develop a custom mod for this project.

Bookmaker & Football Pool

Hello, I have been running a family & friends football (and basketball) pool for 8 years - the HARD way, with excel spreadsheets, dreamweaver, and the like. I am new to Drupal but making rapid progress! I'm not a developer. I'm wondering if there has been any progress on adapting the Bookmaker Module to do EXACTLY what Scruffd0g described.

I've been looking for exactly the same module.

I suppose the existing bookmaker project is dead?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I just committed a new module that does something like this.
