The aim of the application is to enable users to place bets on EURO tournamet games. The application tracks users' active bets, store their betting history, and calculate the points they have accumulated.
The application was created in less than a week due to the time pressure of launching before the Euro started. It is not a perfect product - its code and architrecture might have flaws, and it may lack extensive testing - BUT it works and is functional. :)
