Online betting system design [closed]
- by Rafal
I am a Computer Science student, preparing for my exam in software engineering.
I am strugging with answering one of the sample questions to the scenario below. My understanding is that the system design approach should probably be a mixture of agile and plan driven elements but - since I've no practical experience - it's hard for me to decide on the balance and tolls that should be used.

Ray Sing is the owner of “Last Betz", a bookmakers with 7 outlets
across Louth and Meath. With the advent of smartphones Ray would now
like to allow his clients to place their bets online using their
mobile devices. Clients would register for an account and password and
would log their credit card details via the Last Betz website. To
begin using the facility customers must 'load' their accounts with 100
euros. Any winnings, minus commission, will be placed in the account
whilst any losses will be automatically deducted from the account.

methods and models you would use.
