Press Release                                                 12 September 2007




                                 Betbrokers plc



                        ("Betbrokers" or "the Company")



                   Exclusive agreement with 'The Gold Sheet'



Betbrokers plc, (AIM: BETB), the UK's first retail and wholesale brokerage and
clearing house for the sports betting industry, is pleased to announce that it
has acquired the exclusive rights to distribute 'The Gold Sheet', an American
handicapping information service, in all territories outside of North America.
This new service will be available to both wholesale and retail clients.



The agreement demonstrates that Betbrokers is delivering on its stated strategy
to build a comprehensive sports information and data sales platform to
complement the core brokerage business, drawing on the proven model that has
evolved in the world's financial markets.  Together with the impending
complimentary acquisition of Winning Edge, Betbrokers is now the foremost source
of handicapping data on US sports outside North America.



The Gold Sheet has been established for over 50 years and draws on a wide range
of established connections, experts, and handicappers on US sports.  Available
to both Betbrokers' wholesale and retail clients, the Gold Sheet is accessible
every Tuesday through the Company's website www.betbrokers.com or by email at a
charge of #5 per week, giving customers access to this highly regarded
information service across US sports such as NFL, NBA, NHL.  Soon, this will
also include MLS and USPGA Golf.



Through this additional sports data offering, Betbrokers is able to serve the
growing demand from non-US residents betting on American sports.  This new
service will not only allow existing customers to access information on US
sports but is also expected to bring the Company new customers through online
subscribers to the Gold Sheet.



Betbrokers has the exclusive right to distribute the Gold Sheet information
through both print and online methods outside North America, which offers global
opportunities for distribution.  The Company intends to take this product into
global markets by establishing partnerships with local publishers; the product
will be customised in the local language, but with the same high quality content
and well recognised branding.



Included in this agreement, Betbrokers has also acquired the rights to the Gold
Sheet College and Professional Football Annual, and can also use all editorial
content generated by Nationwide Sports, the parent company of the Gold Sheet,
thereby allowing customers information on a wider geographical spread of sports.
 Initially, revenues will be derived from online subscriptions, and will be
divided between Betbrokers and the Gold Sheet.



Wayne Lochner, CEO of Betbrokers, commented:  "I am delighted that we have
acquired the rights to this highly regarded product; it enables us to
exclusively offer invaluable information on US sports which has become
increasingly popular in recent years.  The global possibilities for the product
are vast, and the Board is excited about the opportunities that we will intend
to fully exploit.  There is currently little information available about US
sports for bettors in the UK, and we are pleased that as stated in our strategy,
Betbrokers is at the forefront of this increasing interest, offering
comprehensive and otherwise unavailable information through our strategic
partnerships."
