oh right it works like that then.
|
|
By:
Thanks for clearing that up....
|
|
By:
You are wrong. They had more western countries to rely on this year, and a better thought of song. This was the first year for ages they have been among the expected qualifiers.
|
|
By:
No, I'm not wrong, I've checked all of the previous voting and have it analysed on a spreadsheet.
|
|
By:
Tonight's semi (plus the new voting system) was a lot more friendly for Netherlands then their more recent line ups. Less countries for starters, Belgium to rely on etc.
|
|
By:
who the **** back Russia and Denmark @ 1.03 top 3 ??
|
|
By:
Guarantee you that Netherlands did not get many top votes in that semi final, but they got lots of votes from a large number of countries, which says successful final for them.
|
|
By:
If it's on a spreadsheet it must be right
 |
|
By:
Anyone got a link to Italy rehearsal to hand, thanks muchly>
|
|
By:
I wasnt far wrong with my predictions (see other post). They ignored the odds completely.
|
|
By:
bar Serbia.
|
|
By:
prob same person who backed denmark at 1.01 to win the whole thing
|
|
By:
Your advice Srich was lay Netherlands, Serbia are certs and have a punt on Slovenia. If that's what your spreadsheet told you, it needs a rethink.
|
|
By:
My advice was to back Lithuania, Slovenia and lay the Netherlands.
|
|
By:
It will be in main thread cider.
It won't tell you much. He was just going through the motions. Expect much more on 2nd rehearsals |
|

cider

|
By:
and my data did not include votes 1-5 which is impossible to predict from previous voting for the semi finals.
|
|
By:
and what fll said
|
|
By:
Serbia have been decreasing in popularity though, in the previous few years, so although surprising that they didnt qualify, its not surprising if they got less votes than expected.
|
|
By:
Denmark are nearly odds on to win it, which is ridiculous.
|
|
By:
when the draw positions become known from the qualifiers press conference for the 10 that qualified the prices may change to reflect
|
|
By:
Cheers chaps. If he can come close to replicating the video, he is your favourite, English or no English.
|
|
By:
Drifted due to him not being arsed at the 1st rehearsal.
Crazy We know he can sell the song |
|
By:
What happened to the 94k at 2.12 backing denmark was about to lay it
|
|
By:
Disagreed cider, I know it is Italy and not Switzerland, but watch this epic fail, from a very similar song and singer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sfOCCrR7vQ Italy will be top 10, but can't see them winning. |
|
By:
yeah mug i have noticed that too seems to be mad backing/laying for a minute or 2
|
|
By:
what time are we expecting the draw?
|
|
By:
Not sure the mrs would appreciate me doing that corby and I would have a heart attack on the night
|
|
By:
During the press conference which will start in about 15 mins?
|
|
By:
anytime now for the press qualifier conference. Each country will pick either first half or second half after they have been questioned.
|
|
By:
anyone have a link to the press conference please post
|
|
By:
Denmark 1st half please. Netherlands 2nd
|
|
By:
That Lithuania song, if you listen to it, very well written - just the singing that's dodgy - think the juries may be swayed by the composition of it.
|
|
By:
He has the Lena amateurish charm tho
|
|
By:
first half will be 1-13 second half will be 14-26
|
|
By:

|
|
By:
its certainly a dark horse now that the final is full of former Soviet countries.
|
|
By:
no former ex yugo countries yet
|
|
By:
Indeed. There votes surely go east. Could it be Chisinua next year?
|
|
By:
more likely to be Moscow or Tbilisi.
