Handicapper Tips and Triple Contest Program
Large Web based Network
providing Daily Sports Handicapping and Sports Gambling
News.
Problem:
| 1. |
There is no
viable solution available for an on-line based
contest allowing the Sportslynx network members
to play on-line and automatically calculate the
winner in an error-free environment. |
| 2. |
With over 10,000
active members, Sportslynx had no way of offering
an on-line handicapping and gambling news pay-service
with a static solution. |
| 3. |
Several of the
members have their own handicapper tips and news,
which require daily updates too cumbersome for
a static solution. |
Solution:
Create an on-line program
using PHP/MySql technology that allows members to log-in,
view handicapper selections and play the daily triple
play contest. The program identifies the user by User
ID and password. Members must pay for access with monthly,
daily or weekly membership choices.
The program dynamically "remembers" each user's access
abilities by tracking payments.
Handicapper area allows
handicapper members to automatically update their selections
while other members automatically gain access after paying
the fee posted by each handicapper.
Admin has access to
the entire member database, handicapper selections and
triple play contest program. Admin is required to enter
contest data and results for each play, and the program
calculates the winner based on the data entered.
The program also maintains comprehensive log files of
all transactions, date and time stamped in the event of
a tie or for manual verification purposes.
The transaction gateways were customized for server-side
interaction with PayPal, NETeller, VISA, MasterCard and
Discover.
