sweden getting this many points just shows you europe has no taste
This is the jury vote only? FFS!, I`ve been trading as if this was it!!!
yep this is only half of it. viewers votes will turn it on its head
it's easy to forget as this voting system is relatively new
100 for Germany??? The most universal theme, emotional performance, STONKING value
And the absolute stand-out of the night, Estonia, at 480? WTF???What fun!!!
anything could happen here when the other vote comes in

Seriously don't see what all the fuss is about with Cyprus, no chance that beats Israel
early still but can't see the public loving it either, was average
it was rubbish, Sweden's was horrific as well and Austria's was forgettable.
The real winner is Albania, unfortunately Europe is tone deaf.

I said there would be a surprise winner,,,,,looks like Austria
last year, jury and televotes agreed on their top 2
This Austrian dude although he's wearing a pvc/leather? outfit which makes him a wrong'un from outset, actually seems a bit too normal for the fruicakes interviewing him, how many times can you answer the same question about twitter passwords
That is an awful way to do the vote maybe other way round is better for the nerves
This is a really interesting result - is this the point where pre-rehearsal social media hype trumps actual stage performance? because Israel on stage was not a patch on her video.

Eurovision youtube channel encouraged people to vote for her and BBC gave her extensive coverage before hand
it's a clear fix

Thought there were much better songs than than the winner. Ukraine did well with public vote but far too poor with judges vote :(
every year we're surprised that the winner was a rubbish song with a gimmick.

Obviously I ******* up and misunderstood the bet. Done Ireland TO FINISH TOP 15, thought they did, however settled a a loser. Not clever.
i am surprised about the semi results. that israel beat cyprus and norway sweden but both winner driftning so much.
this year I changed tactic and only prelistened once on all of the songs so i wouldnt be so bias. Instead I tried to follow the money (on cyprus and lithuania and lucky to pick up isreal on the drift)
20 % of profit pre final.
50 % of profit on trading during final
30 % of profit laying italy top 4 at 1,01. this of course lucky but i layed all on the nmarkets usually some sniper who got the maths wrong.

No idea how the two semis work - where's Germany?
The Big 5, Germany, Italy, France, UK and Spain don`t participate in the semis; nor does last year`s winner.

I must have missed something, thought they were clear with last vote to come. Must have missed something, went to check were my winnings were...none obviously.
really interesting looking at the semi results, Austria must have been hampered by being 5th in the final running order. In semi final 1 it was fourth by only 1 point. I think this year if Israel had been in the first half of the draw we'd have had another winner

UK one of the big 5, the whole comp which over the years has been revamped still includes this big five getting a bye which to me is now ridiculous, no-one votes for the UK its just the way it is, often the song is crap some years is isn't but it makes no difference, in fact I think the UK would benefit from actually being in the semis, I'm not saying it would ever produce a win but by going through the semi route if we did qualify for the final I think we would do better, if the song is sh!t whats the difference if it failed to make it, in fact not qualifying is better than finishing 22nd I would have thought.
