 LONDON, UK (Ladbrokes Website) - Coldplay are the bookies' favourites to triumph at the Brit Awards. Ladbrokes have closed the book on the band to win best group and best album following a flood of bets. The firm stands to lose thousands of pounds if the group follow up their success at last week's NME awards with two more gongs. The band, whose frontman Chris Martin is going out with Gwyneth Paltrow, are 4-11 to scoop best group, with Oasis the rank outsiders at 14-1. Coldplay are also 4-7 to win best album, followed by Ms Dynamite at 3-1 and The Streets at 6-1. Robbie Williams is 4-5 favourite to be named best male at Thursday's ceremony, with The Streets at 3-1 and Badly Drawn Boy at 5-1.
