On the Danny Baker radio show this morning he had a fellah on who specialises on Eurovision.By all accounts he's pretty good at finding the value/winner and this year he informed us all that Hungary have all the credentials for at least making the frame if not winning the whole shebang.Just listened and i have to say its a fair song...22/1 with boyles...im on

Hungary's song?
It's the living embodiment of a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. The Europeans will probably lap it up! He's some kind of a male model so will have the homosexuals and women onside (core demographic) and Hungary are a ice inoffensive nation bestriding the Eastern Bloc but with a bit of a gesture to the good old free West too Could do worse. |

One of my favourite nights of the year, I usually do well picking but end up losing when I go in running
 I've £7 on Spain for a top 5 spot @7.0 but may trade off if the price drops. Normally it's a minefield with **** voting and the crazy routines usually do well. Ukraine may get the sympathy vote do to the impending war. I don't like Sweden's entry but it's a clear favourite, I may lay them to match up my Spain bet. |

just watched the lot. well the ones that are in it, i skipped through the ones that got kicked oot.
not looked at the betting at all yet, but i think its between austria, romania, hungary, russia, uk, spain and germany. sweden is clear favourite?? wow. its always up there every year and they usually do nowt. this one did bugger all for me. only gave it 6 out of 10. every year people big up the uk and its a crap song, this is the first time in probably 10 years ive given it any chance at all. finding it very difficult to pick from the 7 i circled. none of em stand out, theyre all ok but better than the rest. gonna look at the betting and see what stands out. |

i havent taken into account the voting in those 7 though. russia probably need a miracle to win with all this ukraine business. and spain havent done owt for yonks cos nobody votes for em.

I also listened before I done any bets and why I jumped at Spain at 7.0 to finish top 5 - they've now drifted out to over 10s.
It's all politics though, Austria will get the gay vote but not a top spot in every country, I think a top 3 or 5 is likely though. Ukraine is an outsider for plenty of points, they won't win but will get the sympathy vote. You can't vote down a song so Russia won't suffer from the negatives, if someone likes it they will vote regardless. Sweden are probably favs because of the Scandinavian block voting, they'll get max points from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and probably 1 or 2 more. I like Spain, I think it's a good song and easily a top 5 song normally but it's the skewed voting I can't get my head around but also why I love this competition. |

i think austria is the safest bet to be in the mix.

anybody wanna back france to beat germany at 2.0? im trying to lay it.
bargain, cos france is shorter in the betting than germany. and france has been backed as low as 1.65 in the market. no liquidity at all. |
|
By:
is that Darius in the backing group?
|
|
By:
Fair play to him for doing it, maybe a big moment as this comp is massive in some countries.
you should watch borgen. thanks ovalman. |
