One solution to staking/One solution to marketplace

Oh and for functionality, i can give you a detailed description of the code i used to use on my site, but it gets technical and goes into php and mySQL coding, i don't know if you'd really want all the techy stuff as your site runs things a bit different obv. Regardless ill explain what else is needed later today

I'm leaving this to you because you are a staker here so you're basically designing what's best for you as a financier. Keep it high level

I am looking for specs, what people want this to do.. What they want to see, what information and so on.

Again, I want this to be really kick ass

Ok you asked for it good thing I'm broke so i cant get stuck on playing lol, when i'm home tonight ill use my license vbulletin to make a mock site on my computer, just basic enough so i can make the forms to screenshot and give ya the details and additional tools/database tables needed to accomplish this

The thing I am trying to wrap my head around is this..

Are people looking for stakes just in GENERAL

Or

Are people looking for stakes for specific tournaments?

or both?

If Both, then we need to make sure we can accommodate both

There are three ways people are looking/giving stakes:

1) Specific tournaments
2) Run anything on BCP that night
3) People run staking "packages" - Poke is good to talk to about this, he usually gives a bigger sum and the person runs a myriad of tournaments.

The bulk of the people looking for stakes will play anything. There are a few that want to play tournaments of a specific buyin or higher, but in general, the system should be suited for people that just want to play.

So, I'll need specs on all this

s810 said he's doing all of it.

At a high level, here's what each page needs to be able to do (when s810 gets back he can provide the look/feel)

Stakee page
They need to be able to input the following fields:
- Site they want to play on
- Tournaments they want to play (text box - they can write "Any" or the actual tournament)
- Cutback to staker (50/50, 60/40, etc. - just a textbox)

Staker page
They need to do the following:
- Put up an "ad" that they are looking for a horse (so they need to input the tournament name, the buy in and the cutback)

Tournament Marketplace
This page lists all the horses (and it should sort it by who's online at the top - usually people wanna move quick), and all the tournaments that are being offered by the stakers. Every horse should have a link or mouseover that shows their staking history (results and feedback). A horse can click on a tournament, a staker can click on a horse, which takes them to...

Tournament Marketplace Detail
This page is where one can view all the details and apply/pick. This page will have the agreed-to cut for the horse/staker.

Tournament Results
This is the page that is filled AFTER the tournament is over. The horse should be able to fill in the results, profit, a bust hand, and a checkbox stating the money was sent to the staker. The staker should be able to provide feedback (a positive/negative radio button and a text field for comments), and also have a checkbox that the money was received. When BOTH people have clicked the checkbox involving the funds, the stake is over with.

Lets build off of this to start.

Ok, most of that isn't a problem, only thing i don't like is the stakee putting the cut in on their ads, i feel that has been and should be the stakers place to choose the cut, of course the horse can always refuse.

The other thing is my mock up won't have the feedback part implemented as I'm not going to mock up a whole marketplace section, this can be integrated into it once zab approves of the setup

It's a team effort - just giving us a starting point
