ST. JOHN'S, Antigua -- Less than an hour after the official nominations were announced earlier this morning, BetWWTS.com became the first bookmaker in the world to release odds on the 61st Annual Golden Globe® Awards. As the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was unveiling the nominees for the awards, odds makers at BetWWTS.com were busy calculating odds for the most popular Golden Globe categories.
A leading offshore gaming company for over 10 years, BetWWTS.com has created odds on thirteen major Golden Globe categories acknowledging excellence in both motion pictures and television. This marks the third time this year that BetWWTS.com has become the first bookmaker to establish betting lines on a Hollywood awards ceremony -- the company also announced the first official odds on the Oscar® and Emmy® Awards only hours after those nominations were announced. Nominees appear in descending order from favorites to long shots under each category heading. BetWWTS.com will accept wagers on the 61st Annual Golden Globe Awards until only hours before the awards ceremony on Sunday, January 25, 2004.
