SoccerBet is a complete open-source Rails application to run bets or pools for soccer tournaments with friends. At this time, this app only uses Facebook login and all user-management is Facebook-based. So, you need a Facebook API key, get it on Facebook Developer.

Rules of the game

This game give points to the users when they correctly predicting the result:

• 1 point: When the user predict the game's result (winner, draw or looser).
• 3 points: When the user predict the game's exact result (number of goals).

The leaderboard automatically updates when the administrator captures the game's result.

• Ruby >= 2.0.0
• Up and running instance of Redis. The leaderboard is Redis-based.

Get the latest version of the app:

git clone https://github.com/edulomeli/soccerbet.git

Install all the dependencies:

bundle install

Run database migrations:

rake db:migrate

Set Facebook API keys as env variables (use the method you like, I use Foreman):

FB_PRIVATE_KEY=XXX
FB_PUBLIC_KEY=XXX

Set Redis URL as env variable:

REDIS_LOCAL_URL=redis://localhost:6379

Run the server:

rails s

This process will install SoccerBet on Heroku using all free plans available.

heroku apps:create soccerbet-demo
git push heroku master
heroku run rake db:migrate

For Redis I use RedisCloud provider, but you can choose any other you like (take a look to initializers/redis.rb:

heroku addons:add rediscloud:25

Set Facebook API keys as env variables:

heroku config:set FB_PRIVATE_KEY=XXX
heroku config:set FB_PUBLIC_KEY=XXX

Optionally, this app is prepared to run New Relic, so you only need to install the add-on:

heroku addons:add newrelic:stark
heroku config:set NEW_RELIC_APP_NAME="YOUR APP NAME GOES HERE"

This first version is available completely in Spanish, English will be added very soon. All the app messages are in the standard config/locales directory.

If you want to run a Pool for World Cup 2014, you can find all the teams and games of the tournament in db/seeds/ in CSV. To install it run rake db:seed. All the times are UTC.

I hope that you will consider contributing to SoccerBet.
