Another Letter from Tom to a new BETT share holder....

I just recieved some info from Tom Hughes. On a few questions I had asked him. I asked him what we could do as share holders of BETT, what the short term prospects were of seeing an increase in the price per share and when would the share holders meeting be. Here is his very interesting response. The more I find out about this company the more I love it!! GO BETT!!!!

Marc,

Thanks for your interest in eConnect.

We will be issuing a simple and short press release on Monday to clarify
what eConnect is strategically planning. Additionally, Jim Wexler will
introduce himself to the thread.

The goal of eConnect is to be the driving force and the leading company
for PERFECT
wagering.

By 2001, we believe the global PERFECT wagering market will be at least
$200 billion.
Now, the amazing aspect about PERFECT wagers is that the winnings will
be taxed at the moment of transfer back to the players bank.

Imagine what this means for State budgets, national budgets and the
global civilization as a whole. No more cut backs on social programs
and humanitarian efforts. All because of the PERFECT wagering industry!

A PERFECT wager works as follows:

1. The player uses a PERFECT device which could be landline like the
Pay Master or wireless like a PocketPay or internet related like a Slick
(see www.hpos.com). There will be many types of PERFECT devices by
2001, and many will be used to pay bills, send donations etc.

2. Let's say you are placing a lottery bet from your home with a
PERFECT device at 2AM.
Usage of either an ATM card or smart card will send non reversible cash
from your bank
account to the lottery bank account.

3. The transaction travels toll free by modem to our ET&T bank host
processing center.
It is a data not voice transaction. The ET&T host then authorizes the
transaction and
contacts eGate, and pays eGate a fee to contact the lottery for
acknowledgment of the
lottery bet.

4. In seconds, the Lottery acknowledges the transaction and sends the
response back to
eGate which then contacts ET&T, which then ships both the bank
authorization and the
lottery acknowledgment to your PERFECT device which will then print a
receipt for you.

5. Now, let's say you win the equivalent of an electronic scratch off
for a winnings of $800. The pathway from your bank account to the
lottery bank account is easily followed by the Lottery bank back to your
bank. However, along the way, the Federal, State and local governments
will take a portion of your winnings as taxable income.

6. Your next receipt is the winning amount less taxes deducted. That
is a PERFECT wager.

The goal of eGate is to be the relay point of choice of many Host
processing centers and to be an established global presence in 2001.

eGaming will be using the stock value to purchase gaming companies as
wholly owned
subsidiaries who will retain their own identity.

Remember that by 2001, millions of people a day will be playing games of
skill and games of chance and placing electronic cash wagers with each
other by PERFECT devices.

The best way you can help BETT grow Marc, is to send out this letter to
your friends and note the long term goal of eConnect and how we see
PERFECT wagering as a means to the end of budget cutbacks on social and
humanitarian programs.

We would also like to start keeping a list of who is purchasing stock,
as when you buy in the market and do not take delivery of the stock
certificate, we have no clue as to who are BETT shareholders.

We consider everyone who is purchasing and holding their BETT stock
until September 1999 as being long term investors who will be rewarded
for going long on BETT. We are open to suggestions from the threads as
to what makes sense for the long BETT shareholders.

So, it would be worthwhile to start a web site listing the long BETT
shareholders who have not taken delivery of an eConnect stock
certificate.

Perhaps the Long BETT Shareholders club?

We are confident that you will see BETT's share price reaching positive
numbers over the next 30 days, and the NYC trip will positively impact
the stock.

With long BETT shareholders Holding, that forces the market makers to go
higher on the BID, which gives eConnect a strong position to acquire
companies, effect strategic alliances and to accomplish the
implementation of PERFECT wagering.

After the 10K is filed this month, we will call the shareholders meeting
for Las Vegas.
Allow 30 days for the proxy statement returns, so the meeting will
probably be held in March.

Thanks for your interest.

Tom
