Bet
From CSE330 Wiki
[edit] bet
bet is an online application for registered users to be able to place bets on upcoming NFL games. It keeps track of games, the results, and the bets that have been placed. Registered members are ranked according to their betting record. Also, relevant news and YouTube videos of predictions from RealFootball 365 are offered.
[edit] Design Process
We broke the project up according to the technology used:
- Perl: An RSS feed, accessed with Perl and parsed with Regular Expressions, is used to update the results of the games at the end of the football week.
- PHP: Authentication, displaying games and news data, and placing bets are handled dynamically with PHP.
- Cron: Used to automatically run the Perl scripts at the appropriate times.
- MySQL: Of course, all of the user, game, and bet data are stored in the database.
- HTML/JavaScript/CSS: Used to make things pretty and visually functional.
