Building the betting contract

In our betting application, two people can choose to bet on a football match with one person supporting the home team and the other person supporting the away team. They both should bet the same amount of money, and the winner takes all the money. If the match is a draw, then they both will take back their money.

We will use the FastestLiveScores API to find out the result of matches. It provides a free API, which lets us make 100 requests per hour for free. First, go ahead and create an account and then generate an API key. To create an account, visit https://customer.fastestlivescores.com/register, and once the account is created, you will have the API key visible at https://customer.fastestlivescores.com/ ...
