Down and Out

     France is a beautiful country. We have the riviera, Eiffel Tower, good food and a free access to all the online poker rooms worldwide... Mmmh, actually not anymore. Some politics noticed that the FIFA 2010 World Cup were coming soon and that millions of french people were gambling on the internet since years while french gambling websites were forbidden. They found a solution to pick up the dead money : they legalised it, over raked it, and obliged the French fishes to gamble on it. So here we are : the French sites opened (sea) , the world cup began (f***in vuvuzelas ! ) and all the French people (happy fishes) are betting (losing) on it since they saw 238 times the new TV add for those new allowed sites who are controlled (raked) by the french authority called ARJEL, which will prevent the happy fishes to become addicts (protection) against 7.5% of all the bets they place (extortion, not mentioned in the adds btw). Thoughtfully, the ARJEL (mafia) has a plan to save French poker players from the addiction : the June 28th poker rooms.fr will open with a very attractive 2% rake supplement on each pot, moving happy fishes from the ocean to the sea (bye bye Sunday Million and 200+NL).
