Default Unibet ain't a sure thing

Can anyone suggest why Unibet is having such a problem and Lotto isn't?
Wasn't there another betting agency that sponsored a B team as well? They
were racing all over France if memory serves and they were available over
the internet at that time.

No, Lotto was never available over the Internet to France. Unibet,
however, can be accessed in France over the Internet.

That's why Unibet's exclusion is both unique and justified under French law.

Thanks,

I would like to know however why "bet and win" doesn't have a problem.
This picture is from a soccer game last fall:

Milan has bwin ad on the jersey and played in Lille, France.

Now buy a ticket.

Being able to the the results of a national lottery is not the same as being
able to play it.

I was at the prologue of Paris-Nice today. I noted that Agritubel had
a huge bus, though
I seem to recall that they had one of the smaller camper type buses in
years past. With
only this as evidence, I conjecture that Agritubel radically increased
its sponsorship this year
by getting assurance of participation from ASO to all their events.
This means that there wasn't
room for another team, and they chose Unibet.

dumbass,

the heart of the matter is that the UCI sold a bunch of teams protour
licenses with the guarantee that this would be the ticket into all the
big races and handed that list to the ASO.

of course the ASO is going to be indignant, and the law they are
citing is merely a pretense for excluding Unibet. what they are saying
without having the balls to say it is "only we're going to choose who
rides in our races".

what unibet should've done is gone around to the organizers and gotten
guarantees (what astana did and what tinkoff did for the giro) instead
of falling for the UCI con job.

Ahh, yes, it also appears that Mr. Bookmaker was only unwanted after they
turned down sponsoring ASO.
