In Europe is a bit different.
It is common here to use the word "euro" to mean european, in fact there are a lot of companies like "EuroCasa" (eurohome) EuroMercato (euromarket) EuroAssicurazioni (euroinsurances) and so on.
And using a logo like " €bet " is catchy.
Allow one more year (after Microsoft releases the new browser fully IDN compatible) and some big companies start using € in their logo and you will see what a earthquake will shake the domains market....
Just wondering why Sedo which is a German company is still ignoring it.....
My opinion of course.

I think you are proably on to something there! I can see the attraction with € deratives. It obviously not part of the character set that has been enabled on Sedos European websites. They could have gone for a general enabling of IDN, but they seem to be following a different strategy, probably to enable them to target individual markets so that traffic can be matched local advertising. Still if the DNS support it, somebody will want it, especially as I guess most of Europe has it as a symbol on the keyboard. Score of 927 on overture without the extension, as opposed to "No suggesions" for idnenabled.
