This code loops when alpha letters are inputted into an int variable.
The problem I am having is in cin >> bet;(line 52), bet is an int variable and I dont know how to make the user only input int characters. Also when you input non integers it goes back to the beginning of the loop as normal, but when you select the bet option it doesnt take input anymore, as if it skips the cin >> bet; line.
I believe that all I would have to do is clear the buffer for 'int bet', but I have no clue how to do this...
Thanks in advanced and many thanks for anyone with a helpful response.
