all 4 of the 5 favs are first half but for ukraine who are bang last or something
|
By:
loreen will be slot 9 to 13 straight after the ad break
|
By:
Where are spain?
|
By:
1st half too right
|
By:
yeah I thought so, wow
|
By:
Not good for France as Sweden will get the better slot
|
By:
so Sweden, Finland, France, Italy and Spain all first half.
|
By:
Will they open with finland or will they place late in the first half?
|
By:
all guess work surely. don't see why france will get a bad spot.
|
By:
sweden price 1.70 finland price 5.0
|
By:
Anyone think Ukraine have any chance?
|
By:
this is turning into the weirdest year ! france have been matched at triple figures tonight ! I don't know if it was the camera work or acoustics but nothing was impressive tonight, only song I liked was Malta and it didn't qualify !
|
By:
most voters will be hearing all these songs for the first time on Saturday, but the market is convinced the jurors give it to Sweden and the voters give it to Finland. With no market to guide I would not have thought either of these things !
|
By:
Finland would be great opener to get the party started, to be fair
|
By:
and they also got the prime slot in semi final, so couldn't really complain !
|
By:
Saw on another forum... Since 2016 every grand final opener has been a semi closer except for 2019
|
By:
Although, putting the semi winner on 1st... surely not?
|
By:
ukraine money gone, despite the two favs getting the early draw !
|
By:
At what point do we think Italy flip flops with France?
Friday PM imho. |

Rybak winner in 2009 returned in 2018 and won semi final 2 drew first half in the final and was given slot 7. Destiny won JESC in 2015 entered eurovision in 2021 who won Semi final 1 drew first half in the final and was given slot 6. Will the producers treat Loreen the same as former winners Rybak and Destiny and give her a 6 or 7 slot to perform in and place an ad break just before her performance or will they give her preference to former winners Rybak and Destiny because "Sweden" and give her a 9 to 13 slot in the running order of the final.

Italy is my favourite song, by a distance. Would be nice to see it recognised.
The money for Sweden has been strong and relentless despite a very average performance. That said, I think the audio was under whelming for all acts so looked like a producer end issue. Camera work was really poor too. |

anyone know the actual winner of Semi final 1? My money is still sat pending. Anyone help??

Winner/finishing positions of semi finals only released after the final.

By:
Officially that is. They've been leaked before. A stream I watched the other day seemingly knew it but then was ushered from discussing it by a co host.
|
By:
I suppose that’s logical. If someone had won semi 1 by a country mile it will obviously throw the betting into turmoil. Somebody is sitting there with the results though. Anybody notice any massive shortening of odds after that semi final?
|
By:
Sweden are being lumped on like someone knows that Finland didn't get the large lead they were going to need.
|
By:
Swedn now pushed into 1.56 from 1.70 after the allocation draw last night. The televote gap between Finland and Sweden will be a lot shorter last night as only 18/19 countires voting whereas in final there will be 38 (including Rest of the World vote). Perhaps the reason the shortening on Sweden is due to insider knowing that Sweden won the semi final and not Finalnd. We shall see what is the case when the results are revealed late Saturday night.

By:
£4.085 waiting to be backed on Sweden at 1.60 and £1,500 waiting to be backed on Sweden at 1.59 obvisouly a trader or insider information regarding Sweden being winner of semi final.

All i'm saying is there's gambles every year, often accompanied by people saying it's inside knowledge. Sometimes the gambles win, sometimes they lose. Sometimes they are gambles based purely off public reaction or freely available social media/polling info. The Jedward gamble in 2011 was enormous - they almost went off favourites, but had finished 8th in the semi from the pimp slot.
It may be that an extremely small number of insiders have a bet based on the results, but Ive not seen any clear evidence of it and would be keen to see some if anyone has it, otherwise it's just conjecture. |
By:
How would you explain Italy in 2015 going crazy on social media, hitting the highest votes ever, yet drifting throughout the results. Seemed like some people with good money had worked out it was a dead duck. All conjecture though, for sure. But if it looks like a duck and quacks like one. Though I get there are examples - especially before the final - as you say, but this seemed rather blatant.

Sweden now in to 1.52
