Alright everyone, sorry to post a url but if you enjoy placing bets on sports competitions then you might be interested in this:
 
right2bet
 
It's an online petition and campaign to get fairer gambling laws in the EU.  ATM, punters have their freedom of choice heavily restricted within the EU.  Countries like France, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden etc. have it so we can't always use their bookies, and whilst we're on holiday there, we can't always use our favourite bookies back in the UK (or elsewhere).
 
Obviously this is going to interest people in the EU more than others, as its us who are losing the chance to get better odds, have difficulty betting abroad sometimes, etc. But if non Europeans want to show solidarity with us poor downtrodden Olde Wolders then we won't complain!

what is this petition all about,i am not interested in any petition,i want to discuss sports,do you want to talk sports?

Just to update people - if there is anyone who doubted whether or not these EU laws make a difference to your online gambling experience... see http://bit.ly/1iAoxj Look at the disparity in odds between those gambling monopolies! Also here's an article showing the odds for the Liverpool v Man City premiership game: http://bit.ly/57PUt6 ...So much for "one Europe" lol!
 
The Right2Bet petition is gaining significant traction at the moment amongst gambling fans, operators and also in different EU Member States. They even have a tool where you can lobby your MEP directly. As soon as their petition reaches 1million, it will go before the EU Commission so I'd encourage everyone to go to http://www.right2bet.net to add your name to the petition now!
 
Thanks!
