Mangas chief executive: record winnings on the regulated market

The opening of the French online gaming market has created  a positive growth environment for the online sport betting operators, considers Nicolas Béraud the boss of Betclic.

“The taxation levels are too high for a newly opened market” he said. “However, the French market has registered a boom of new clients who have refrained from playing online until now because this activity has been considered illegal according to previous legislation. Now, that this activity was ‘legalised’, record profits have been made in the last few days according to Béraud. Of course, he gives credit to the World Cup for bringing new clients to join Betclic and start betting at this major sport event.

There are still a few problems with how the French market  is regulated. First, according to Béraud, is the high level of taxation on the French market that  determines clients to search illegal operators which offer cheaper services. “It is still difficult to trace these operators and stop them from activating on the online betting market” he said and gave the example of the Italian market where the measure of blocking the websites lead to unsatisfactory results.

Besides confronting illegal operators and high taxation rates, another issue is that “the new legislation leaves out the online casino games which are very important because they create margin and without them it is difficult to be profitable.” The equilibrium between the taxation and the array of authorised  games is a common theme in Béraud’s speech. He predicted that a wave of regulation will continue in other European countries such as Denmark, Germany and Spain and this will ensure Betclic a more stable business environment attracting more and more clients.

Regarding the French market, Béraud hopes that online operators will be allowed to extend their games offer  in the next 18 months. He also stated that the French market will remain less profitable during this period due to high taxation rates on e-gaming revenues.

Suggestions for playing the roulette

The roulette is a game of hasard. There is no guarantee that you will have a series of successful strikes in a row but don’t despair as there are a few suggestions that might help you improve your game at this classic and fascinating machine. Read about them below!

Avoid the 00

The wheel of the American roulette has notches for 0 and 00 while the European wheels have only the notch for 0. Taking into account that the bets at the roulette are calculated as if there was no 0, the less 0s the roulette counts the better the odds of winning for the player. There may be European-type wheels in some American casinos but instead of looking for them at brick-and-mortar casinos you can always easily find them on the Internet.

Avoid the five number line

When playing at the American roulette, the player can choose the “five number line” bet which covers five numbers: 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3. The tricky thing about covering an odd number of notches is that it diminishes the chances for winning as this wager offers the worst betting odds for the player with a house advantage of almost 8%.

Avoid the betting systems

It is advisable to avoid betting systems such as Martingale or Paroli which require you to double your bets every time you lose because there is a low probability that they will work for you. In fact, it may prove to be devastating for your bankroll in the end.
