*** Eurovision 2nd Semi Final IR Thread ***

Hopefully escapee will do the prices as he's much better at it than me

I can't believe you made a separate thread

It's tradition

I'm missing Emmerdale for this

looks like lead singer is dressed to go and milk some cows

This is the weirdest nonsense i've seen on these shows

It is a strange one. 2nd highest youtube views for some reason

This isn't much better

Decent enough vocals though, juries should be ok with it

was there a song there tho?

more so than this

Now this is class Lock me in!

If the Euro-community hadn't repeatedly told me Serbia is a work of genius, I'd have had it an easy NQ

Same here. They told us that nonsense from POR a couple of years back was genius too and it failed to qualify

That was your favourite

Malta actually sounds half decent compared with most of what's gone before

Telemoveis? I thought it was sh1te and layed it to qualify

I thought you meant O Jardim.. pile of crap

oh that was genius. Too good for the audience

They were both shyte

Which was an auto qualifier, so couldn't have been

yep, but finished last

Deservedly

I still listen to it now I'm sure I'll listening to this too for years to come

Muting this one

This is 1 of my favourites

Stunning

Australia the stand out so far, bit of an Adam Lambert look and sound

I've missed the first hour (But it was a lovely thai green curry)

joined halfway thru the macedonian song, looked very x-factor angst young anorexic off balance girl, the sort to make the xz-factor finals and do a lot of crying

I got matched for a fiver on that Macedonian girl @ 12

so far I've got a 100% record on Eurovision. I've never won a bet

I don't think you'll break your record 

Ireland doing great on the stats

I'd rather this over Ireland

£20 on Ireland @ 3.3

I blame the wine and Five Leaves

lol now they're 3.5

Ukr 1.43 matched on the OR

I should have said twitter stats, escapee. Less well on the others

Stop mugging escapee off

Back Belgium to qualify. You might get a winner escapee

Ukr 1.43 matched on the OR

I laid it, digging my hole ever deeper.

Virtually halved in price since it drew 1st half on Tuesday night

the idea the draw ever mattered for UKR is very bizarre

yup

I did back it on the drift.

Quality from Sweden

Sweden the strongest over the two heats for me (excluding big 5).

Sweden straight to the top of Twitter Live

yep, she sells it very well

Ukraine hit 1.41

the UKR thing at 1.45

I'm wondering, either Putin doesn't give a monkey's gonad about UKR winning Eurovision, or it's gonna get under his skin so much that he'll (Discreetly) intervene with bots to make sure they don't win.

Not sure at what odds it becomes value, just on the off chance that Putin is watching and making moves

There's no conceivable way to use bots. It's predicated on what happens if it doesn't do very well in the first few jury reveals. If it gets strong scores I will be a little poorer.

now 1.4

If Ukraine is placed 4th in RO on Sat it will still shorten in price.

Or it somehow gets 'lost' in the grand final. I feel that is highly unlikely.

1.48 now, layers out in force

1.49, a 22.5% drift in 15 minutes; at that rate, it`ll be 1.000 before the final!

layed Belg £25 @ 1.8 to qualify..... this is going to be my only winning bet

now 1.43

GL

lol

Belgium

Get in

Looks like the jury songs qualified again

I doubt Romania relied on jury

No, one of the few

Romania killed San Marino's vote

quite possibly. I backed it based on the stats

You backed it because it appealed to a 6 year old girl 

still got my 100% record

G'luck on Saturday, think It'll be best if I stay clear

Back UKR escapee

Back UKR Escapee and you'll be 1.01 to win FOTY

FOTY seems to be defunct; it was never the same after the first winner`s reign ended...
