Indeed, Merry Xmas to all!
Nice wishlist Miami, and I generally concur.
We know from that interview with Nigel I posted the other day that the methodology that's worked well so far is to recruit sportbettors and cross sell them, so more of the same there please!.
2006 will be, imho, a period of consolidation rather than trying to break new ground......we'll buy (prolly a sportsbook like you say) an earnings enhancer that can integrate easily and bring punters that can be cross sold. We'll get deeper into Europe and Sth America, break into Asia/Orient (please!!).
On that, noticed Pokerroom group have a Chinese specific poker platform now (eCardroom.com), now that's got to be a winner!
site looks great, must confess tho it's all Chinese to me...boom boom.
Let's not forget the World Cup!!......Nigel stated in the interview it's a golden opportunity to pick up punters so fingers crossed the marketing strategy delivers.
