Javascript eval not working

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 02.2009

I’m making a javascript blackjack with betting. Currently, everything works except for the betting. When I win, the bet gets subtracted, which works. But when I win, For Example: I have $450 & I bet $50. when I win, my money goes to $45050. Why?

The script is as follows:
form.bets.value= eval((form.bets.value)+(form.betTotal.value));

I’ve tried this too:
form.bets.value= eval(form.bets.value)+(form.betTotal.value);

Neither work. Please help.
