Eurovision

Bara bada bastu

got the nibbles in ...

4 hours of BBC that I object to paying for.

I would rather have tea in Gaza …

Desperate stuff tbh..

Your loss.

if you didn't know, the jury scoring is in the can already, and will be revealed one country at a time. then the pv's are announced in reverse order, one at a time as total pv points. so you can get big shifts in the table from the jury scores when the pvs are added to get the final total.

months of build up and market forming, and the jury reveal can turn it upside down in a handful of minutes.

we have a promising set up tonight, as the most likely pv winner is expected to be behind with the juries. the test will be how much of a deficit before the pv reveal will the market allow Sweden. I'm not as sure as the market is that Sweden will run away with the pv, it's nothing special.

As in my above post, it's already in the can. The 'winner' is known to insiders.

Been a money printer the last few years. No need to even watch the performances, but it helps to know what is likely to be favoured (or not) by jury and pv scoring. Sweden's price could well crumble quite quickly.

enni wimmen with beards this year please?

born with a Labia.

Why is the Eurovision Jury Vote market suspended?

they vote after the semi finals, so someone on the inside would now know who has won

The bbc don't know, it's the ebu.

Jury scoring and running order are dark arts for sure.

It's kind of irrelevant though, the money making opportunity is down to human nature. Greed and panic. Some years the winner is nailed by the market and the opportunity is diminished, when they are likely to please the juries and the voters. This year though, the favourite for me is a fair way down the pecking order for the juries. It's a borderline novelty entry, doesn't usually swallow up jury votes. Though the juries will know it's the strong fav, so human nature in play again.

Well the UK was second to the impossible to beat Ukraine in 2022.

I'm not a fan of EV or BBC, and couldn't care less that we'll be last again this year. But we'll be last as the song is carp.

& as I keep repeating, it's a smashing betting opportunity.

Just got back from the pub to find this on. Wife and Daughter well into first bottle of prosecco.

Should have stopped for another pint.

Will have to open something myself now.

Austria France and Ned extra green, red on Finland and Sweden. Preparation for when the jury reveal kicks off, all trading positions. Ready to play a few, esp Estonia after the jury reveal in the top x markets.

Sweden's price could well crumble quite quickly.

Actually, Austria's price will crumble first. 

To Win Jury Vote (disclosed first) - 2.08 (last matched)
To Win Public Vote - 150.0 (last matched).

so its going to look like they're home when they disclose the jury votes (2.08), and then the backsides gonna fall out of it at the Public vote (150.0).

you're very welcome

Because they aren't backable, one assumes. It's a bit jarring though.

France aren't backable and they're top line.

sh!thouse attempt by Paudy to conceal they are still in the betting.  Want the mugs to count down from the top 1 to 15.

top one might no have been no offers the last time they adjusted the ladder
