    I personally feel online-casino.de has been sold 30-40% overpriced. If I have to click on any domains from search engines I rather avoid clicking on domains with dashes .
    Google frankly don't like domain with dashes in b/w them so I too avoid buying them

    I've always been leery of generic domain names because the way the internet works (among 'informed' users) is that people don't automatically assume that what they're looking for is based at the location of that generic name. If you want to "gamble" online, you've been conditioned to expect that what you want is not necessarily at gamble dot com - and you do a web search (and from there SEO and adwords take the lead).

    I do think that branded/brand-able domain names are the only way to succeed with website names. Something easy to remember, something that clicks in the public's mind.

    ...I recall the big story about bingo dot com being sold for an astronomical sum a few years ago. Their alexa rank (fine, not the final word on all things traffic) is 145k...!
