SoccerBet

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.
