SUPER BOWL XL BETTING TO SET INTERNET RECORDS
PinnacleSports.com Executive Available To Discuss Super Bowl Betting Trends

WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO (January 26, 2006)- The Super Bowl is the most-watched
annual sporting event in the world while also being the biggest betting
day of the year. Tens of millions of people will have some type of betting
interest on the game whether through an office pool, in Las Vegas or over
the Internet. With the explosive growth of online gambling, industry
experts predict that over half a billion dollars will be bet on Super Bowl
XL at online sportsbooks alone. The largest sports betting site on the
Internet, PinnacleSports.com expects Super Bowl Sunday to be the busiest day of the year and is available to discuss a wide range of betting trends on the game.

While the land-based sports books in Nevada accepted only $90.7 million in Super Bowl bets last year, estimates indicate that online bookmakers as a whole dwarfed that mark, recording $450 to $600 million in Super Bowl
wagers. With the highest online limits and the slimmest margins in the
industry, PinnacleSports.com is recognized by both gaming experts and its
peers as being the biggest online sports book in the world. For Super Bowl
XL, PinnacleSports.com will accept online wagers from as little as $1 to a
maximum of $100,000 with low margin wagering that gives bettors up to 60% better value than traditional bookmakers.

"The Super Bowl draws the heaviest betting action of any annual sporting
event in the world with a majority of the game's followers having some
type of action on the game," said Simon Noble of PinnacleSports.com. "With more consumers recognizing the convenience and safety of Internet
sportsbooks, online gambling has become the destination of choice for
customers betting on the Super Bowl."

Since founding the first Internet sportsbook in 1996, Mr. Noble has
witnessed the explosive growth of online gambling firsthand. He is
available to discuss several betting-related issues, including:

· Gambling trends and facts regarding the Super Bowl
· The growth of Internet sports betting
