Other then Pinnacle and Neteller in 2007 I had no other problems...can we expect anything major to occur in 2008?

Matchbook will continue to grow and flourish as money transfer issues make comparative shopping trickier.
The poker players will win some kind of exemption from the UIGEA, and that will bring new firms into the e-transfer business who will eventually be useful to dedicated sports bettors.

Next year will likely be more of the same with little changed from 2007. I think all the books rated A- and higher are going to be just fine. When it comes to transferring money we already see fees going up and turn around times of a week to 10 days at the good books. We saw less bonuses offered in 07 and that trend will continue in 08.

Players are certainly smarter these days. They hear the news about new laws and end up at SBR and other places to get info on books.
What adds to the danger level for the players is the lack of buyers for the good books, the B- to A-group. If a book in this group falls hard, in the past there was a CRIS or Bodog or someone waiting to grab them. Not so any more.
I agree with the poster on poker. It will have its day before sports.
