** The Eurovision 2nd Semi IR thread **

well sweden on last slot of firdt half oh what a surprise.

They want a Netherlands win

uk on last slot

Guess they would have to fix it for sweden to perform on last slot of first half.

Last has a poor record

Molly do a Dolan

..and they don't want to go to a warzone

Ruth Lorenzo ‏@RuthLorenzo1  1m
19!!!!!!!!!!

armenia drifting

Managed to lay some 5.6

You lot were slow

netherlands 4.6

Not surprised with that draw. They appear to want it to win

Will be a striking contrast after the cheesiness of Denmark

I now have a large green on Spain

7 of the 1st 9 Eastern European

well they have obviously helped sweden with giving it the last slot on first half and have placed them between germany and france so will stand out.

ukraine drifting

Ruth between finland and the Swiss is as perfect as i could have hoped for

has trap 7 ever won???

...not in the dogs

In 8 dog races

Not in 26 dog races

25 dogs & Ruth

Not impossible to win from there. I'm glad I was quick to lay off tho

Aram will come back in a bit yet

Aram is done and dusted. Expect to see it go 4th/5th on the list..

Ukraine won from 10 & Turkey from 4

even the bearded lady is 4 spots later...

Turkey was a freak storm though, 2pts job...

It doesn't matter how many pts they win by

Dana International won from 8

Armenia 1 of my greens now

Aram

Neds to go fav?

Clearly a late draw is an advantage but it's only in recent years that they've dominated and most of them were strongly fancied before the draw.
Fascinating contest this year

bear. He's level for me. Netherlands my biggest green of the front runners

The only 1 I wouldn't back is Sweden

Boring as feck and stuck in the middle is not good

After a break too

Assuming they do the same as last year. It didn't help Anouk

laid off my sweden..for a profit.

Just so we have it at hand

Terrible bad manners from me last night

"It's coming home it's coming,Eurovision's coming home,it's coming,Eurovision's coming home"

Copyright hemsby ltd UK.......our lawyers are watching

Just seen the running order. Do we think last is necessarily great?

Annoyed sweden wasnt earlier

Dont want to touch it at these prices

"...roll-up, roll-up to see the bearded 'lady' sing"

The front 2 are crazy prices.
I think Netherlands should be favourite. Armenia & Hungary not out of it either

Figgys up

lol just going to bed. Was up all night playing poker. 2nd for $8.3K
Better than betting on this

...nice work figgy!

Hi Guys, I've been doing a little trading on this without hearing any of them
Last night I watched the 2nd semi and one BIG stand out for me was Austria - Loved every thing about it, even his beard!!
I can't believe how poor the entries are this year.
Also the clips at the end of the Big five, I loved Germany.
Just watched Sweden,Armenia & Netherlands clips and I'd say Netherlands is the best out of them three.

It might be a year I actually make a profit as on at some good odds.

Good Luck!

Cheers Jim. Just need to win that pokerstars million one week now

You were out dogging

Nice win mate, i'm really pleased for you

I can't take your good will messages seriously now

Does that mean you won 8k Fig, i know nothing on poker

this gig is run and orchestrated by Jon Ola $h1tface...the winner will be down to him and remember the winner has to host an anniversary show...i have a gut wrenching feeling the UK will be top of his list

Dollars yep. $8308 to be prcecise

Jeez, fantastic

It means i can take the piss out of your Eurovision book without feeling like a nob

True..and I can just whistling along with seppblatter and not care who wins

whistle*
I need some kip

Night Fig

Night carebear

You can get up just in time for the jury dress rehearsal

"Last night I watched the 2nd semi and one BIG stand out for me was Austria - Loved every thing about it, even his beard!!"...Jeez the world is full of perv's & wierdo's

Get over it

Austria is storming iTunes. People who download from iTunes aren't rolling up to see the bearded lady, they actually like the song. I can never get past the beard to enjoy the song.

Just close your eyes Henry

I still think the song is not great, dated.

... but I realise that anti's like me can't vote against it

The thing is the rest last night were pretty poor and because of that it really stands out imo. The fact that he's got that hideous beard just makes you remember him more. Must say I think he has really lovely eyes, amazing what a bit of make up can do!

Yes standing out is important in this 25 runner 2 hour event.

I hope he doesn't win SF2. I'm neutral on Switz, win a little on Norway, win on Greece, but lose on Austria.

* 26 runner

I only had one bet on semi final 2 winner and that was Austria but it's only a few pound.

Anyone wanna match my £20 on Spain top 10 @ 3.6 (5/2 on sportingbet)?

Aram out to 4th fav...8.8....great result for the layers so far.

Gutted I didn't get on the Austria train last night, thought it would go low.

Great poker result last night Fig .....was it GB2 who beat you in the H2H ?

Is Ukraine short because of the potential European solidarity vote?

2.5 on Hungary top 5 if anyone wants it?

Cheers Hems. lol not GB2 unless he's moved to China. He had GB in his name though
I went into the final table just in 9th place, so was happy with 2nd.
I didn't have much chance heads up. He had 1M chips and I only had 100K ish

tourny  on bfpoker or different site?

That can be the only reason. It's a poor song with strange staging that's not charting well.
It was backed down to 10 again this morning

Pokerstars HG.
I self excluded myself from betfair poker after the fookers upped the Premium Charge. I'm not paying them rake too

Sounds like you must have played the final table very well.......blinding result

I always find pokerstars favouring newbies and underdogs in showdowns, is that just a myph and do I need to increase my sample size to say this?

I think I did OK. The jumps become really big on the final table, so I think it's worth playing fairly conservatively rather than going all out for glory.
9th was paid $1K and 5th just over 3K, so quite a difference

..if you make top 3

You do wonder sometimes HG if they let the donks hit their outs to keep them playing. Knowing the regulars will return regardless.
I suspect it's just perception tho and you remember the times that your AK is beaten by someone hitting a runner, runner for a straight with A3,4,or 5 and forget the times your AK holds

I don't think it's different to any site

Fair point.

In regards Eurovision, almost got my positions set: still gutted I missed Austria and think it wins, I should get on now but I think there's value else where. UK top 5, its popular, not enough to win but to get a solid 7 points across the board. Spain top 10, sexy, good use of both languages and one of the only traditional 'pop' songs this year, she's also done a ton of promo work for it.
Then laying Hungary top 5, do my a favour, it's not great, hoping to get laid at 2.5, then laying Azerbaijan top 10, forgettable, could fall off top 10, at odds on I like the lay, and finally laying Italy top 10, it will do well to be out of the bottom 5, 4s is still a layable price.

Good luck all.

Every site I've ever played you get people moaning about being outdrawn and saying they're never playing on this f'ing cheating site ever again.
Including me sometimes

We should have listened to bear, HG

He had to be right once

I've layed Hungary top 5 at 3, it's drifting and will continue to drift in the winner market to 30+ before kick off tomorrow.
