With the Globes and the Grammy's, you can say festival is in full swing. And as for the best of British.. the BAFTA film and BRIT music awards have now also kicked off by announcing their official nominations.Bookie William Hill is offering a wide range of sports bets on both awards ceremonies.The Orange British Academy Film and Television Awards 2013 (BAFTAs)The BAFTA awards take place on Sunday 10th February, a sort of prelude, if you like, to the Oscars, but it does have one category that is reserved for British films alone - the Outstanding British Film category.This year's Best Film and Best Actor nominations look unsurprisingly similar, with Steven Spielberg's Lincoln and Tom Hooper's musical Les Miserables coming head to head for first place in both. See the William Hill website for current odds.But even if Lincoln does beat Les Miserables to first place, as forecast, the latter will more than probably win the Outstanding British Film Category, if that's any compensation, Tom. In second place is action-packed Bond film, Skyfall.More interesting perhaps is the Best Director category where Ben Affleck's Argo and Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty compete for first place. Zero Dark Thirty tells the story of the hunt for Osama Bin Laden, and faced much criticism for its depiction of interrogation techniques. In spite of all this, the film has scooped us a total of five BAFTA nominations this year.The BRIT awards 2013Meanwhile, in the music bizz, the BRIT awards approach on the 20th of February. The odds certainly seem to be in rising star Emeli Sande's favour this year, with a 1/3 chance of winning Best Album and 6/1 chance of winning Best Single. Having won the Critics' Choice award in last year's BRITS, neither of these victories would come as a surprise.Another note-worthy entry is James Arthur's nomination for Best Single. The 2012 X factor winner has managed to push mega-star Robbie Williams to third place in the nomination list. Who would believe it?

An online gambling giant has made a bid to buy one of the oldest brick-and-mortar casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Rational Group US Holdings, parent company of Pokerstars and Full Tilt, has submitted its proposal to buy the Atlantic Club Casino.This comes after a couple of major changes in New Jersey legislation that took place last year: First they have opened the doors to offshore gaming firms to apply for NJ casino licenses, and Rational Group are registered in the Isle of Man, close to the UK. Second, last December, New Jersey lawmakers approved a bill to allow online gambling in the state.What the Rational Group proposes to do is rebrand The Atlantic Club Casino, one of the oldest in Atlantic City, as it did to the Hippodrome Casino in London, UK. The Atlantic Club Casino ranked 10th in the 2012 list of Casinos with the Highest Revenues, and could be revived to be a major seaside attraction. All that remains now is for the New Jersey Casino Control Commission to approve the proposal.Online Gambling to Traditional Gambling?If Rational Holdings were given a green light, this deal would mark the first purchase of an Atlantic City casino by an Internet gambling company. An unexpected move, some may say - from online casinos to traditional face-to-face casinos, but a company the size of Rational, can probably afford to take the gamble.
