Answer 1

The model return only attributes have on model .If you want extend the related table you need to use with

in your model

  public function relations()
  {
    return array(
             'benmodel'=>array(self::HAS_MANY, 'Ben', 'game_id'=>'id');

            );
   }

in your controller

        return $this->model()->with('benmodel')->findAll();  //you get both table columns

Answer 2

i modify relation in game controller

'bet' => array(self::HAS_MANY, 'Bet', 'game_id'),

Now i can have the game with related bet by user.

return $this->model()->with(array('bet'=>array('condition'=>'user_id='.$_userId.' or user_id is null')))->findAll($criteria);
