                                        AND
                            YOU BET INTERNATIONAL, INC.

     WHEREAS, Equibase maintains, INTER ALIA, a proprietary, computerized

     WHEREAS, You Bet wishes to obtain a license enabling it to use data

and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1    GRANT OF AND DATA CONTAINED IN LICENSE

     1.1   For the term of this License Agreement, Equibase hereby grants a non-
     exclusive license to You Bet to use the information contained in SCHEDULE
     A, attached hereto (such information hereinafter referred to as the
     "Equibase-Registered Trademark- Data"), in accordance with the provisions
     of Section 3 below and other provisions contained herein, in You Bet's
     electronic, computer on-line service.

     1.2   You Bet understands and agrees that nothing herein contained shall be
     construed to require the Equibase-Registered Trademark- Data to contain
     information which Equibase does not in fact collect, compile and/or
     receive; notwithstanding that such information is listed in Schedule A, was
     collected or received by Equibase as of the effective date of this License
     Agreement, or was, at some time during the term of this License Agreement,
     collected, compiled and/or received by Equibase.

     1.3   Due to software and/or other technical limitations or oversight, You
     Bet may receive data from Equibase which is not provided for in SCHEDULE A.

<PAGE>

     (for purposes of this License Agreement) and You Bet is strictly prohibited
     from using such data after having received notice from Equibase, by
     whatever means (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 16 below),
     setting forth the data contemplated by this Subsection 1.3.

     1.4   You Bet acknowledges and agrees that a breach of the provisions of
     Subsections 1.3 or 3.1 would cause Equibase to suffer irreparable damage
     that could not be adequately remedied by an action at law. Accordingly, You
     Bet agrees that Equibase shall have the right to seek specific performance
     of the provisions of Subsections 1.3 and 3.1 to enjoin a breach or
     attempted breach of the provisions thereof, such right being in addition to
     all other rights and remedies that are available to Equibase at law, in
     equity, or otherwise.

     1.5   You Bet further agrees that a violation of either Subsection 1.3 or
     3.1 shall be construed as a breach of a material covenant of this License
     Agreement and constitute an event of default for purposes of Subsection
     14.1 below, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 15 below to
     the contrary, upon a breach of either Subsection 1.3 or 3.1 You Bet agrees
     that Equibase shall have the uncontested right, in law, equity and
     otherwise, to immediately cease supplying You Bet with the
     Equibase-Registered Trademark- Data and You Bet covenants not to do
     anything to interfere with that right.

     2.1   Equibase shall provide You Bet with the Equibase-Registered
     Trademark- Data via an electronic data interface between You Bet's and
     Equibase's computer systems by the methods, protocols, and security
     procedures as provided for by Equibase.

     2.2   Any additions, adjustments, alterations, corrections, or
     modifications made to the Equibase-Registered Trademark- database which
     affects the Equibase-Registered Trademark- Data will be electronically
     transmitted to the You Bet computer system as soon as possible after such
     changes are made to the Equibase-Registered Trademark- database, but in all
     events Equibase shall try to transmit such changes to the You Bet computer
     system within twenty-four (24) hours after such changes are made to the
     Equibase-Registered Trademark-) database.

     2.3   For purposes of security, and in order to improve the quality of its
     service, Equibase reserves the right to change the methods, protocols, etc.
     of exchanging data between itself and You Bet. Equibase will, however, give
     reasonable notice of its intent to make any such changes to You Bet.

     2.4   In no event shall Equibase be liable to You Bet for any loss suffered
     by You Bet due to a malfunction of the Equibase computer system, for
     whatever reason.

3    SCOPE OF THE LICENSE

     3.1   The license granted hereunder is for the sole purpose of allowing You
     Bet to produce products and/or services made with the Equibase-Registered
     Trademark- Data or from an analysis thereof for sale directly to
     subscribers of its electronic, computer on-line service (which shall be
     known as You Bet) for such subscribers' private use and not for purposes of
     re-sale, either directly or indirectly (such products and/or services
     hereinafter referred to as "Handicapping Products"). You Bet is expressly
     prohibited from selling products or services made with or from an analysis
     of the Equibase-Registered Trademark- Data for any other purpose, including
     but not limited to hard-copy sales and You Bet shall inform its subscribers
     that they may use the information hereunder provided to them for personal
     purposes only, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a subscriber's printing of a
     Handicapping Product for such subscriber's personal use shall not be
     construed to violate this prohibition. A violation of this provision shall
     constitute a material breach (see Subsections 1.4 and 1.5 above).

     3.2   You Bet may make Handicapping Products available to the general
     public free of charge as a promotion, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Equibase has
     given You Bet prior written approval of the data content of such
     promotional Handicapping Products before such products are offered to the
     general public.

           3.2.1 Based on data content alone, Equibase shall not withhold its
           approval of a Handicapping Product, as provided for in Subsection 3.2
           above, if such product's data content is limited to the following;
           horses' names, morning line odds, jockeys' names, trainers' names,
           owners' names, track condition, medication, and distance.

     3.3   You Bet shall use its best efforts to ensure that all Handicapping
     Products transmitted to subscribers by You Bet are encrypted and in a
     format usable only by such subscribers.

     3.4   You Bet is expressly prohibited from reproducing, either in whole or
     in part, for sale or for transfer duplicate or verbatim copies or
     substantially duplicate or verbatim copies of the Equibase-Registered
     Trademark- Data, including past performance lines, charts, and race results
     without having first obtained the written permission of Equibase,
     notwithstanding that such reproduction is incorporated in the Handicapping
     Products.

     3.5   Should You Bet wish to use the Equibase-Registered Trademark- Data in
     a manner not provided for herein, You Bet shall apply for a separate
     license, the terms, conditions and fees for which will be the subject of a
     separate agreement. It is understood, however, that Equibase is under no
     obligation to grant any such additional licenses to You Bet.

     Equibase for any given month, credits shall be allowed for bad debts
     actually and properly written off if a payment under Subsection 4.1 has
     been paid or accrued with respect to such debt. Whether a bad debt has been

     collected shall be taken into account in the month of the subsequent
     collection.

     12.1  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the

     boycotts, technical difficulties (whether computer related or otherwise),
     failure of suppliers to supply data to Equibase, strikes or labor disputes,

     negligence of such party, such failure shall not be deemed to be a breach
     by such party of its obligations hereunder, though such party shall use its
     best efforts to put itself in a position to carry out all of the
     obligations which, by the terms hereof, it has assumed irrespective of the
     occurrence of any force majeure event.

     continuous period of thirty (30) days or more the party not claiming the
     protection of Subsection 12.1 above may terminate this agreement,

     days written notice of such termination to the party against whom the force
