Ok I have the best idea for spending money ever.

BETTING

/bet [id] [amount]
/exacta [id] [amount] (first two finishers)
/trifecta [id] [amount] (first three finishers)
/bet2 [id] [position] [amount]
etc.

Odd's I suppose could be worked out by the certain players finishes per the races they
have competed in during that stint on the server?

e.g, Player 1 has finished his 5 races on the server so far 1, 1, 4, 2, 3 so his odds will
be around $1-$2

Player 2 has finished his 5 races on the server so far 15, 10, 27, 17, 22 so his odds will
be around $50-$100

(just throwing numbers around btw don't know much about betting lol)

I'm sure this could work, just need someone who is good at maths to figure it all out :P

What do ya'll think?

Bettings feel ok to have lol Paying for something will make you feel god and high, working to have something :)

Well why not have options instead making everything free for all :) If you make it, its a must to keep the finish number down below so many people can get money and do something, like till 20th or so.

An addition to the betting idea,

/bet [playerid] [amount] [place] is a good idea, a very good one. However, it's exploitable.
My idea is: /bet_streak [playerid] [amount] [Chosen winning streak of someone to win the bet]
* Make anything related to /bet work with 20+ players online only.
* A betting limit to stop players from getting too rich

My ideas:

> Make rims chosen at start of the races bought for money
     *> If the rims have been set from /cx, it'll cost more to save it but it won't cost you if you get it at start
> /stunt menu 'Unlocking' for a certain amount of cash

you would have to be pretty sad to exploit betting like that haha

but yeah, 20+ players for sure and a bet limit as well would be necessary.

Lottery..every half hour or more a number between 1 and 90(example) is extracted at random(I think a bot could do this) and everybody can try to guess using /lottery [number] and get the whole jackpot.. /lottery has a fixed cost, can be used once per extraction and jackpot keeps raising if nobody wins..

Could probably code something so that your money is only spent after the lottery is drawn lol.

I just think money is useless, what are you going to do with the money you've won from betting? Just consider it a score of sorts? Who has the most money? I don't think rims, commands, car modifications should ever cost any kind of money, but find other ways to spend it. Sure you can lose money by betting on the wrong person but the only real use for money would be to spend it on something useful and betting doesn't really give you anything other than more money, it's kinda like having too much money in single player San Andreas, there's just nothing to spend your money on and it's meaningless. I'd like to see a /casino command, that will teleport  you to a casino where you can waste your money, but again, what else can you spend your money on after that? There isn't much, and I think the gamemode should stay free, you're basically implementing a kind of RPG element to AX if you add a lot of ways to spend money on. It's a racing mode, and it should stay free and open to everyone. Maybe just make the money display show your actual racing score, or something else like races finished, or how many times you've placed 1st, this might actually make it useful and add a bit of competition and encourage good racing if you're being rewarded points for good racing, something like that.

rims and tuning parts should be for money
as in other games (or SK mode)

to tune car need money
(even tho tuning changes only look)

PLEASE, IGNORE ALL MY SPELLING MISTAKES AND OTHER TYPOS True racing fans enjoy horsepower in ANY form
