Right2Bet, the consumer group fighting for fair access to online gambling, have criticized the French government's move to restrict non-French companies. France's National Assembly passed the reforms by a vote of 299 for and 233 against last week, with only the country's Supreme Court now able to stop it becoming law. It is expected that many companies will be forced to stop offering their services to French citizens under the new laws, which in turn will restrict the variety of choices to French online gambling consumers. Right2Bet spokesman Mike Robb said the new laws were not reforms, calling it "an attempt by the French government to do something that looks like reform whilst continuing to shore up the state monopolies and domestic providers." According to Right2Bet's own research, French citizens would have better access to the private sector if not forced to comply with French sports betting monopoly Francaise des Jeux. The group, which runs a European Union-wide campaign to allow all EU citizens to have the right to choose their own online betting provider, is encouraging people to sign a petition against the laws, which it will then take to legislators in Paris and Brussels. The French government has said it is undertaking the reforms in order to open the country's gaming market to private competition and bring it into line with its obligations as a member of the European Union.
Irish bookmaker Paddy Power - well known for its creative novelty bets - is taking a different angle on the volcanic eruption in Iceland by offering bets on when it will stop.The unpronounceable Eyjafjallaj'kull volcano erupted for the second time in a month on April 14, leading to widespread disruption air travel in Europe that left millions of travellers worldwide stranded and disrupted major economies.With the eruption still continuing and no end in site, Paddy Power is challenging punters to place their bet on when it will all end, with the eruption deemed to have stopped when confirmed by the Icelandic government.The most likely scenario is for the eruption to end before the beginning of May, at odds of 1/2. The odds then get longer as time goes on, with May 2010 paying 4/1, June 2010 paying 8/1, July 2010 paying 10/1. However, the odds of the eruption stopping at any stage in 2011 are 8/1, while the horrible scenario of 2013 or later is paying 25/1.Bets are also being taken on the next volcano to erupt, with a choice of 22 volcanoes, including Eyjafjallaj'kull, which is 5/1 to erupt again before another volcano erupts.Ahead of the now famous Icelandic glacier are Mt Unzen in Japan, 3/1, and Nyiragongo in the Democratic Republic of Congo.Mt Unzen's last major eruption in 1991 killed 43 people, while Nyiragongo seems a likely choice given that it and neighboring Nyamuragira are together responsible for some 40% of the volcanic eruptions in Africa over the course of history.
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers finished with the best two records in the NBA regular season and the odds suggest the two will meet again in the NBA finals, but many key indicators show one of the two could miss out.History and form suggest the Cavs will need some luck to win the championship. Although they finished the season with a league-best 61-21 record, Lebron James' men blew an even better record last year when they lost the Eastern Conference finals to the Orlando Magic.And with the Cavs and Lakers relying so much on LeBron and on Kobe Bryant respectively, an injury to either one of those players will make the attainment of this year's NBA championship almost impossible.Aside from the usual indicators of history and form, we recommend that those betting look at NBA playoff odds based on Hollinger's power rankings, formulated by ESPN.com's John Hollinger.Although complicated, the formula is essentially this: a computer at ESPN headquarters simulates the rest of the season 5,000 times based on results already played, then assigns a probability to each team's chances.The results are surprising. According to the computer, the Orlando Magic, second in the east with a 59-23 record, has a 44.8 percent chance of winning the Eastern Conference and making the NBA finals again, while Cleveland has just a 25.4 percent chance of going through. Orlando is also the most likely to win the championship, at 29.5, ahead of Cleveland 12.9, and the West's third seed Phoenix, 10.9. Incredibly, the Los Angeles Lakers, defending NBA champions and number one seed in the West, are just a 3.9 percent chance.With most bookmakers offering odds on the championship, on each series in the first round and on nightly matchups, and some including William Hill Sports even offering live play betting, there's a lot to think about.
