To be taken with a pinch of salt and a nice glass of bubbly.

1. Golden Palace will buy a pair of old socks that was worn by a woman claiming to be the daughter of elvis

2. 10 new poker shows will launch on TV only to be usurped by the World series of slot machines. Poker? What's that then?

3. a-n-other-casino.com's new bonus scheme forces the player to give the casino a $20 bonus which they can play with as long as they turnover the cash 300 times and cannot use it to play blackjack, roulette, video poker, baccarat and slots. In fact, they can only use to it to play pull-tabs (scratchcards)

4. The USA realises the internet isn't just a phase. It could be here to stay. Nevada state officials are up in arms and files a lawsuit to ban it

5. Betfair takes over the world

If you have anymore predictions - let me know.

Have a great new year!
