^^^ Moldova

I have Iceland and Romania at decent odds at the minute but I think I'd rather lay my stake on Iceland back and take a chance with Moldova. Hard to see Iceland topping Romania.

I definitely think Romania top 3 is nailed on so well done on the early value

He's still underwhelmed with Moldova

for those lucky enough to be able to get on @ spoils 40/1 1/4 1st 3 looks good on moldova

got a man on the case as we speak figgy

2 men JOT? ;)

I've had to take 33/1 and no ew. I just love it.

Indeed. It's about the overall package.
No idea how off Ivi was, but for me it's a stong package.
The reception in the hall might boost it's jury vote too. As I'm sure it did with Lena

Interesting that jr thought Denmark was nervous and a little off at the start. As did Andrew on AKOE.
She's been the most polished throughout

It did her ok in the jury vote Bex ;)

The value has to be Turkey at 75/80, plenty of neighborly support and their song has a ridiculous number of views on youtube. Price shouldnt be a concern becuase Azerbaijan were over 60s on day lsat year. Me and a few mates are on at 100-130 opinions?

Well minor flaw is that Azerbaijan weren't over 60's last year. I started athread for them to win at least a month beforehand when they were 16/1 By now I think probably 12's

That aside I'mprobably one of the few on here with anything positive to say about Turkey but I yhink the limits may be top4 and more realistically top 10. Its  abrand of music most favoured to its own region and I'm not sure many Western Europeans will be televoting for it. Its diasporo vote helps counter that somewhat
I have been very impressed with his rehearsals and the way this may look on stage for the semi

For you Bex

Daniel sofabet: I’ve been a little disappointed with the way they’ve decided to stage ‘Zaleilah’ during earlier rehearsals but within ten seconds this clearly blows everything before it out of the water. The toned down presentation actually makes it look more sensible, it still makes you want to dance and Elena is in great form. This seems likely to be at least top three in this semi.


I questioned JR about this on entertainmentodds and how they may potentially look with camerawork and tv perspective? Now quite reassured tyvm

Sorry i git that wrong, my mate backed them at 55 thought it was on the day but it was early market.they ere matched at bigger htan 20s on the day though and as big as 75 early market, I've just thecked the betfair price histiory

Yes these kind of odds were available before we actually heard the song. I backed it on the day we heard Running Scared at around 28's I believe

and yes I remember the drift I'm not sure at all what caused that - the silly price for France and the Jedward money

it drifted to nearly 200 a week or so back - people have been impressed by the staging in rehearsals

Yes I have backed it big for top 10 at 13/8 ish. Good luck with it - can't see it winning myself

How can a country that has finished top 5 in 5 of last 8 years including a win, with one of the most voewed songs be 75/1? what am i missing?
