12-09-2007 Betbrokers to distribute 'The Gold Sheet’ outside North America

The independent betting brokerage acquired the exclusive rights to distribute ‘The Gold Sheet’, an American handicapping information service, in all territories outside of North America. The new service will be available to both wholesale and retail clients through the betbrokers.com website or by email.

Chief Executive Wayne Lochner 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."

Earlier last week, Betbrokers announced that the acquisition of the assets and business operations of Winning Edge had not be completed by the original date expected to be September 5. Betbrokers said it still was in final negotiations with the vendor and that it will make a further announcement in due course.
