Some of that depends on how you have your columns set up You may have the fields (such as money in this case) set to not be able to be updated. Also (And this maybe another possibility), have you checked to see if the database itself has updated it? If this game that you are doing is a browser based game (Which I am assuming it is), cache is the reason why you aren't getting an update. Empty the cache to see if it fixes it. If it's a database, run the query again and then check to see if the database updated it. If it still not updating at that point, then there maybe another problem. Let me know if this helps, and if it didn't fix it, I'll have to dig deeper into it.
