For Immediate Release                                        24th November 2003


                       TradingSports Exchange Systems plc

                                 Trading Update


Implementation of Contracts


The Board of TradingSports Exchange Systems plc ("TradingSports" or "the
Company"), the AIM listed provider of person-to-person ("P2P") betting exchange
systems, is pleased to announce that it has today further strengthened its
portfolio of global exchange partners by launching its five year exclusive
contract previously signed with SBG Global. 9 contracts are now live.


The 5 year exclusive contract with TradingSports marks SBG Global's first
venture into the fast-growing P2P betting market and will enable its customers
to place in-running bets on a wide range of sporting events, including the NFL
and basketball seasons. The exchange will be launched today on SBG Global's
website www.theglobalexchange.net



Current Trading


The principal focus of the business remains business development and the
implementation of existing contracts, as well as educating our clients on the
rapidly emerging P2P betting market.


At the time of the interims we reported that:


"Whilst the underlying growth of the business in terms of client numbers, number
of bets placed, and overall revenue continues to rise, client marketing
campaigns and end-user education initiatives remain challenging areas. These
areas are being addressed through a series of concise training programmes
designed to assist our clients with their marketing endeavours and educate them
on how to use the exchange system most effectively."


The above continues to be the case and the volume of matched bets continues to
increase and is currently running at #18 million per month, up 28 percent on
September when the interims were reported. Implementations of some of the larger
contracts, including SBG Global, have been later than the Company projected and
will likely result in year end sales' numbers falling below some forecasts for
the current financial year.

Joe Tighe, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive, commented:


"The progress that has been made during the current financial year has been very
encouraging, with 9 sportsbooks now offering their customers exchange betting
through the TradingSports' exchange platform. These exclusive long-term
contracts with the largest of the North American online bookmakers will prove
our business model to be robust. As bettors within our contracted sportsbooks
adopt exchange betting due to its high value format, the volume of matched bets
will continue on a strong upwards trend. We believe that our key partners making
their offering live later than expected has pushed back the market take up in
North America and has delayed the business plan by a few months. Given the way
the metrics are now moving, and the dominance of the market share which
TradingSports now commands, we believe that TradingSports is in a strong
position to capitalise on the building momentum of the global betting exchange
market."
