That's a good idea, I might be making one ^_^Awesome :D Glad someone likes it. Kinda scared what people would think about it 0_0
Aw I'm sure a lot of people will like it :)
Y U DOUBLE POST? lol but is there like a minimum length of a track, or can it be like 5 blocks or something... there should probably be a set length, eg 100-150 blocks or something, and i seem to love run-on sentences :D

I know, I was just saying an example :)Y U DOUBLE POST? lol but is there like a minimum length of a track, or can it be like 5 blocks or something... there should probably be a set length, eg 100-150 blocks or something, and i seem to love run-on sentences :D
That's too short, you want to make them really long so that the race lasts at least a minute so that the suspense lasts awhile. A longer race makes betting more entertaining.
Great idea, me and Larko have a racetrack and stable business, we also have a market, we have a drum post on it, we may be interested in this. If you want to check us out we are at: /home shortgeorge goodwood
Most horse racing tracks are circular/ elliptical.
I thought of making an 8 shaped track, with overlapping tracks in the middle.
I'll give it a go first then maybe post a screenshot of it for feedback from you guys.
I'm starting to build my race track ^_^ its not going to be huge but it will be big enough
I know you said closed... so just let this sit here until you open them. I'll forget to post later.

What can you bring to this board: I can bring quality control, leadership, and expertise. I plan well (As is evident by my luxurious, nearly completed .5k track), and would hope to help bring this quality control to the OHO.
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?
Love the idea :) If u need some help someone tto start races and all that just contact me on fourms or when i am ever on opticraft :)Thank you very much. Flattered lol I'll contact you when I begin to organize racedays. Cheerio
Is there a way I could be one of your advertisers? I'll speak to you more in game.
Like little signs (minecraft wooden ones) and big signs (wool ones).
Ok, so, as it's titled "Opticraft Horseracing Organization".... I was wondeing what gave you the right to use that title, because it wasnt even decided by the community or whatnot. Because, when you started this post you said yourself that you had no idea what you were doing, so I am wondering why you felt you should organize this.I know I am barging in a little with this comment, but please understand I am only questioning.

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.
