Been told SAN MARINO

NAILED ON

Cheers seaside , had £400 at 4/5 & a £20 f/c with zanzibar and a £10 tri cast with burma.

gl.

One of the Icelandic group has Covid so they are going to show their rehearsal clip instead, might cost them

yep the UK will never win again. we could out up Dua Lipa, with only oak leaves to cover her essentials, and she'd still get stuffed out of sight.

nobody likes us and we don't care.

'Nul points' is a badge of honor

El DIABLO CYPRUS .Chargeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sure is https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/en/special-bets/eurovision-2021-bettin...

Let's see.  these bampots have moved on from promoting a drag queen with a black beard.  This year even "lgbt's" and "black lives matter" tw ats won't get a look in.  It be deftly shovelled towards any fruitcake who claims to be "non-binary", likes to be called "they" and thinks Carey Mulligan is God's gift to the world.

Only ever had two bets in this and both won,last was £22K Norway @ 11/10 on behalf of my OH and Nogher.In.Norway.

Got to be ew either Israel or Palestine if the are in it?

Are they,if so Dutch and rev fcast...........and throw in Holland in the combi for Dutch?

Are they worth backing iyo and the prices,I refuse to look!!!?

Those betting on the UK to come last may be done by the embarrassing German entry. But last but one looks nailed on.

glentobyjugmugs is doing the security for this event..

he will be standing outside with his captain mainwaring uniform on holding a paper mache ak47.

And YOU will still be looking for attention at 60 years old...............ROFL!!!

All over the Forum and 5,000 laughing their nuts off including tour previous accolytes!!!

Tour being intended btw................touring the Forum YSDC................loser.

Rico ... chalk it.

Bad Romance (lady gaga) and El diablo (cyprus) youtube have connected the two songs .so best drop the cyprus price.

Had a saver on France

Italy.

does anyone know where i can get 4/5 for malta to win ?

Ukraine Top 15 Finnish, 1.04.  How far

France for me

Iceland,max bet top 5

Good Luck, Malta got a very good reception from the audience.

Christ, we have a Pikey singing for us.

Chill out Barstool, some good crooners from the travelling community, besides Malta pish this despite the

burden of Seasides money.

iceland

tyson fury is good at singing american pie

Goodness, Germany really don't want to win.

took his glasses off and couldn't believe where he was.

supposedly 4.5 mill traded on a load of clowns singing that non has heard of..

wel aye.

all the talent in a country like the uk and all they can muster is someone priced at 800

it is all political everyone hates us i think if we sent beyonce to sing one we would probably end up last

That bloke from San Marino had my old scool pants on.

school

beyonce is from jamaica innit.

1. Iceland
2. Malta
3. France
4. Israel
5. Italy

End of threat.

Beyonce would do better for us than the pub singer in the bad jacket we sent this year.

Rico, to be fair Adele could represent us and we'd still come last. Time to throw our toys out of the pram and never go back.

Thing is swifty, that just isn't true.

No harm done having a laugh at our efforts every year.

celine dion won for switzerland and she is canadian you can fly them in from different countries just for this rico

Yep. Just has to be entered by a member country.

The Irony is we pay for this “ chance to pish on uk evening “ as one of the five major contributors.
It is our usual approach, pay all,  get nowt.

Produces a massive amount of air time for the BBC. Have been hours of Eurovision programs on BBC4 and Radio 2 all week. They probably think it's worth the money.

COME ON NOW, WHO HAS THE FAST PICS, WATCHING THE PRICES LAUGHING

will uk get 0 points from the jury votes

Switzerland

amanda lay off the botox love you will end up like donatella versace

Next year the UK entry will go under the name of Millwall.
Nobody likes us and we dont care

uk is like the boss at the xmas do i wish they would leave then the party starts

why are italy 1.6?

these votes are more important uk o points brutal

Well played Shlotter.

bbc1 freeview and miles behind..

seaside give it up ydc..fckin hopeless.

0 points, well deserved.

Silver bumper for the caravan will have to be put on hold.

:D

wasnt really paying much attention but why was the betting so short for italy after the country vote when they were well behind some of the others?

all these people liking this song in the audeience but they dont have a clue what he is saying, he could be slating them for all they know

Because that was the jury vote and they prefer the "proper" songs. The public vote for the popular songs was still to come.

yes i gathered that..but why were italy 1.6?

Takes some doing coming bottom of that pile of garbage. We can only hope that he doesn't try to milk the achievement.

Welcome to Brexit!

Just a **** song.

Ukraine Top 15 Finnish, 1.04.  How far

Rico ...... chalk another up one for the Hulk.  Good lad

seaside 20 May 21 I cannot understand why Italy is fav it's a terrible song.

Agree it is a terrible song. However they performed well on stage and the pre comp 30 million streams was a big hint and why they were bookie favs.

could we rig it for next year!!....seems the biggest votes are from the general public....now if we were to all vote on the same song and also get others we know to vote on it as well, it could be bingo!...the inner won with just over 500 votes....now if we had 540 votes from the general public for the UK, which were at 300-1 we could have it right off!!...of course i might be talking utter shyte as i was on my third can of Red Stripe when they got round to the scores!

I will never watch the Euro song contest again never mind betting on it.

What a fcuking joke.

Once I saw her big fat thighs I knew she was done for.

Is that what tempted you in?

greece and cyprus giving each other 12 points was a strange coincidence..

and they both had a cat singing.

UK was 4/7 to give Lithuania 12pts - Greece/Cyprus and Russia/Moldova always give each other 12 past few years and there was deffo insider trading going on re Italys price -they were over 100 pts behind on jury vote and yet price quickly went into freefall

Its more bent every year and mekks horseracing look clean by comparison

P.S the jury votes had been decided on Friday evening in a full dress rehearsal for last nights events so clearly someone had a good inkling on what was going to transpire

Anyone that studies Eurovision knew that France and the Swiss needed a 100 point lead to hold off the Italian Televote.

They were 1.6 and it wasnt a suprise they went on to win it. France was the only possible winner after the Jury vote was in.

wallis, how or where did people see the tele vote before the televote scores were announced ?

It wasnt seen but historically Italy get a lot in the televote section and the song itself was way ahead on stats showing number of views (youtube etc) , spotify , twitter stats .   

France and Switzerland had great jury friendly songs but werent going to "grab" the first time viewers and the age group of people who would televote.

The view of eurovision punters was that Italy was always going to clean up a massive amount of televotes and it was a case of if they were close enough to a Swiss/France at the end of the jury section they were going to win it.

Having said that France almost pulled it off.   If Italy had been 10 or 20 points closer at the end of the Jury vote they would have been 1.1 going into the televote.

thanks wallis

It may be political but uk were the original 'bad boys' . When Abbas Waterloo won in 1974 , since been voted best ever Eurovision song , the Uk gave it nil points !!!! they were hoping olivia newton john would win.
Never has , you reap what you sow , more deserving.....

I never understand why the UK moan about it. They put in rubbish year after year , then moan when they get 0 points. I think five countries last night got 0 Televotes so its not a case of the UK being picked on by the whole of Europe as they like to make out.

How did the lass from Malta get those boots on?

You must have cleaned up wallis. I will await your comments PRIOR to next years contest.

I never understand why the UK moan about it. They put in rubbish year after year

clueless.  UK could enter Adele singing Hello - 2.8 billion views on youtube - she's still coming last. nobody votes for the UK, what part of 'they don't like us' are you struggling with ?

Hunt, it was a completely different voting system in 1974. Only 10 individuals from each contry got to vote, and they each gave 1 point to their favourite song - that was it (no 12/10/8/7/... etc. points). 1974 was probably the strongest contest ever - Waterloo didn't win by that much over strong opposition from Italy, the Netherlands and the UK.

Wallis - spot on. The UK's song was rubbish (one of the weakest we've ever put in), and poorly sung. It got what it deserved. Nevertheless, the way the low-scoring televotes were announced was brutal, and I hope that changes in future. In the past I think they just put up the scores for the 10 lowest scoring countries without making a fuss about it.

Hulk - you do know that music professionals make up half the voting? If the UK entered Adele and she sang one of her better songs, it would be highly competitive. Personally, I'd ask Dua Lipa to do it for the UK.

lol ... the "music professionals" from Greece that gave Cyprus 12 points, and the "music professionals" from Cyprus that gave Greece 12 points ... back in your box kid

the "music professionals" that gave KEiiNO - Spirit In The Sky 2019 next to nothing, and then we sat back & watched the public giving them the competition by a country mile ?  those "professionals" ?

Amanda Holden head of the UK "music professionals".  wtf

Strontium
I remember the 1974 competition and I know the voting system then...the fact is not 1 UK judge gave Abba A SINGLE POINT .
Abbas song was so far the best that year which makes the UK judging very suspect especially the support that Olivia Newton John had.

Hulk, if you want to believe it's all some campaign against the UK, that's up to you. Nobody seemed to like Austria much until they put up an eye/ear-catching song and won in 2014. Nobody liked Portugal at all until they entered a quality song, well sung, and won in 2017. It may suit the UK to enter rubbish and say "we don't win because nobody likes us". But we could try taking the competition seriously for a bit and seeing what happens.

Hunt - Waterloo got 24 out of 160 possible points (or, 15% if you prefer), so it wasn't just the UK jury that didn't immediately warm to Abba. 85% of the voting jurors across the continent didn't think it was the best song.

strontium i think your memory might be playing tricks on you - back then there were 17 entries in the competition but only ten member jury's allowed to vote with only ten points per jury to play with and a maximum of 5 points being allotted to their winning song so therefore a max of 60 pts to play for so in the circumstances Abba with a score of 24 did exceptionally well - Italy finished 2nd on 18pts and so in reality Abba pished it

Sludge I never said anything about winning money , I was just answering the question of why they were 1.6.

Next year I will remember to send you my thoughts before the contest so as not to suffer one of your clever remarks rather than post them on other forums discussing Eurovision rather than Betfairs Horse Racing.

Strontium , I agree with everything you said and especially the way the "null points" was announced.  You could see the presenters squirming and the cameras in the faces of those performers getting humiliated wasnt good tv.

can someone briefly explain the viewer votes/points/weighting etc? e.g if there were 1000 viewer points available and country weighting was at play how did that equate to Opts for several countries, surely they must have got some? Anyway, it's total rubbish and the voting rubbish just capped it off.

Countries only give points to 10 acts  (12, 10 , 8 , 7 , 6 , 5 , 4 , 3 , 2 , 1)

With 26 competing and around 5 nations almost certainly getting points from every jury or televote there is really only about 5 countries from the remaining 21 that will get anything else.

If you look at the Televotes this year Italy got votes from every country , so did France and Ukraine.  Finland got votes from all but one (Georgia) and the  Swiss from all but 3 countries.   So five of every 10 votes per country were taken up by those alone.   That only left 5 possible scores for everyone else.  With Iceland and Ukraine scoring with 30 of the 39 countries there was very little left to fight over for everyone else.

So if you had a poor / uninteresting song you were really going to struggle this year to get points from the viewers (televote) and also the Juries that look at presentation , vocal talent (so the more difficult to sing the better) etc...

I was talking specifically about the televotes not the jury.
