Oh yes, those entries will soon be flooding in. Albania has already got theirs sorted. No chance.

Cheltenham week is when most get announced. That's gonna be busy.

FFS. What next, Celeb BB?

This Board is for proper punters only, we don't want bloody amateurs here, so flounce off.

PS - Any chance of a selection on the Tikay Tips thread first? Scoop me baby.

7/4 Sweden
6 Russia
10 Denmark
16 Serbia
20 Spain, UK, Norway, Germany, Ireland, Turkey
25 Iceland, Italy
33 Cyprus, Greece
50 Estonia, Azerbaijan, Slovenia
66 Romania, Ukraine
100 Bar

Sweden is a proper song, defo the best, and is going to be very hard to beat tbf. Just the concern that it's club music and that Denmark and Norway are jiggers, which will split the Scandie vote.

Russia should not be 6/1. Bunch of grandmothers in Russian clobber. Sure can sing.

Serbia is a grower but not sure how many of their Balkan buddies will make the final to give them points. The ante-post market will be dominated by Sweden, so not huge scope for Serbia to shorten dramatically. I'd rather wait and see how many Balkans get through the semis and what draw Serbia get. Will take half the price if they land 16+ stall with three neighbours through and be pleased.

Jedward are shit ok, and if the chance comes to place lay them ok, go all in ok. They are not popular in this country, as shown by their Celeb BB defeat as favourites, and they finished well down the field last year, so Euro types don't like them either. Will be laying them to be out of the first four and out of the first ten nearer the time.

Estonia is worth a watch just for the amazing eyebrow work.

Comedy stuff elsewhere. Austria...Trackshittaz sing about noodle soup. Vee are funky ya?

Netherlands isn't hopeless at 300+. Simple song if dated.

Eleven entries still to appear. No bet for now.

lol, makes me laugh every year. glglgl.

what about the humperdinck?

Angledonk is gonna be in a rocking chair apparently. Doesn't matter what his singing imo, his a no channer.

UK is one of the songs yet to appear on facebook.

There's nowt com about ESC imo, easy moneyz. Full-bank lay of Jedward in the top ten market once they've stumbled past the likes of Albania and Portugal in the semis ftw.

Last year I had italy e/w and year before, portugal(2 pianos)? 50's and 80's something like that, surely be another this year with crazy odds in top 4.

^^^ ttt

Yeah I too like Serbia, 16's ew with boyles top 3, or 14's elsewhere first 4 looks a good ew bet.

Really good pedigree in eurovision (2nd b4 and has even hosted the show) and is well known in loadsa euro countries.

My only gripe was it seemed quite a short song, but meh didn't drag on for ages, should appeal to wide audience too, even got violens and stuff!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%BDeljko_Joksimovi%C4%87

Yeah sounds fair enough, though I gen think this song should appeal throughout Europe.

ESC songs have to be under 3mins and Serbia comes in right on the money.

All depends on the draw and the semi results for me Nico. If it's drawn 3 and only two neighbours through, forget it. If it's drawn 20 and three neighbours through, get on.

Eurovision semis, i see boyles/stans esp are way outa line on some prices compared to betty.

Serbia obv look a dirty ew bet for the 2nd semi, any thoughts?

I think cyprus as low as 10s for the first semi are a decent ew price 1/4 odds first 3 at 22s. And Estonia for the 2nd one at 25s look ok too tho its 1/5 odds best probs due to sweden taking so much of the market at 8/11.

First semi darts i like:

Russia@4s-now 7-2-Gonna appeal and is strong on betfair, come on granny power!

Cyprus@22s ew-now 18s -Ok looking singer+song and v strong on machine too.

Moldova@33s ew-Pure cheesefest but place is gr8 value part of bet.

Shld be a good 1!

good luck mate.

Iceland, Greece ordinary, Montenegro shite obv

Greece should win imo, she dsnt even need to sing. Superb peformance.

Latvia with shamless vote gathering johnny logan mention


Why am I watching this?

go grannies go

lol, that's because she wasn't!

I liked the Iceland song.

fine with me.

latvia was abso comedy, wtf was all that about mck jagger? they looked like they were from the 80s.

Albanian entry scares me!

Sounded like a cat was murdered somewhere.

Albania= Voice of the Beehive.


Wails like a good un though

Blimey, is Bjork without the subtlety.

Would happily muder the UK commentators

Sara Cox and Scott Mills?


Vacuous, and far less funny than they think they are

I want to do the commentary with Chompy.

weird i quite like them

This is the stronger semi-final by the way

Romania wasn't too bad.

Switzerland=The Lost Prophets.

what a very odd accent this leather trousered man is singing in

Swiss singer has seen too many Jack Black movies. Be a channer with a singer this.

Somewhere there is a loo roll in Belgium without a cover...

Send it in Tal, Sara Cox would be all over it ^^^

Belgium= High School Musical

Belgium, 2-1 to qualify too big and 300 outright too big

Finnish girl looks petrified, bless her

#winning lol

Israeli guitarist = Serial Killer fred West reincarnated

Is Israel really gay enough?

This is camp and crap even by eurovision standards. Backing singers dancing like your uncle and aunt at a wedding ftw

this is proper eurovision

quite liked Israel, was fun, will get votes imo

San Marino, love it, a song about Facebook that isn't allowed to include the word 'Facebook'. ESC rulez!

If you wanna come to my house
Click me with your mouse


Priceless  :)up

San Marino - The Social Network Song (ooh ooh uh ooh)

Expect Facebook shares to plunge to $20 by the end of the song.

a song about using facebook to arrange liaisons for casual sex.  might appeal to the target voting audience i guess.

lol

Think I'm probably lucky watching this in a hotel room in Malta - still not worked out which language TV station I'm watching, but must be better than Mills and Cox.

Bring back Paddy O'Connell.

Cyprus is catchy.

Another that will do ok

Paddy O' got it for sure, we laugh with the Eurovision, not at it.

what are the chances of hearing any actual good songs tonight?

gogoogogo cyprus!!!

Liv Tyler looking rough for Cyprus there.

Million

Hey Denmark - Beats International called and want their drum beat back.

Denmakr. Cyndi Lauper meets Avril Lavigne in a back alley and gives her a good kicking

Meh uve obv not heard the grannies!

Quality shout that.

A cellist in a hoodie? That is urban.

Denmark is the Paul Jones tip but don't get it, fair song but she is such a Sheryl Crow wannabe

Thankfully no one told the drummer that she needs to wear a sports bra.

and Maureen Lipman on drums

Radical

Wardrobe malfunction close...

If they cover Iron Maiden I'm spending my Roll voting for russia

Party for everybody....Dance cmon and dance

If this wins I am never watching the ESC again. Ever.

we have a new winner come on the grannies

My lovely horse would not be at all out of place tonight

I may still not have worked out which language TV station I'm watching but have already recognised bubbly female presenter straining to laugh at what are presumably crap jokes from male co-presenter.

The grannies are nailed on winners

Well tipped Phil

2,4,1,3,6,5

I know where my annual tenner is going without even hearing any more

if you are talking about the cakes, yes

Oh God, I really like this now. Could so become a students' club classic.

lol, im crying now.

tx

They need to get Fred Dibner in to sort out that chimney

4's to win tonight was maaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooooossssssssssssssssssssivvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeee


ggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnny powwwwwwwwwwwwer

come on dance!!!!

Coxy dancing along too. Got to win

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzYzVMcgWhg

probs italian if you're in malta innit?

That isn't me on keyboards for Hungary before the japery begins...

Hungarian lead singer has been stealing roof slate for shoulder pads.

Has this guy got a night job tarmacing roads?

Gangsta tractor rap??

Brigitte Nielsen can still cut it.

It's 1992. I'm Andy Crane. It's still number one. It's top of the pops!

Fokk it im da popo??

Funky noodle soup?

Ed Norton for Moldova?

that's what i was hearing too

That's what happens when you play too many poker games you aren't rolled for.

Now this guy has come straight from his blacksmith's shop - economic downturn hitting Johnny Foreigner hard.

I like moldova's entry, catchy song.

Moldova does just fine tytyty, 200 way too big outright

Fk off Jedward, please qualify so I can lay you to be out the top ten

First world problems. You have one bullet. Jedward are twins.

The one on the left is doing his Corporal Jones impression, moving slightly after the other one.

better than last year's song imo

They're twins. How can they not sing or dance at the same time?

who dressed them as Tin Man from Wiz of Oz?

Careful with the water lads - don't want to get your outfits all rusty for Saturday..

Jedward were second favs at one point last year. The Euro bunch don't like them and don't get them. They have zero chance. Mahoosive top ten and top five place lays if they qual.

OMG his french accent is worse than mine!

I wonder if I can expense Eurovision phone votes...

Russia and Israel top two for me

1.61 Betfair Russian ladies  , still a steal , for Top 3 finish , in First Semi Final .............Lump On !!!

13-2 overall winner. Surely will go shorter than that and can lay it off, if you are so inclined

ok not loving sara cox no more

On third listen I have now decided that Israel song is a work of genius.

Got great record in Eurovision matey !

Did Scott Mills really just tell Italy she's favourite to win? Research ftw

What are you lot watching whilst I get a load of adverts?

scott mills and sara cox being shite

Did Scott Mills really just say "Have you got any messages for the gays that might be watching?"

"have you got any message for the gays" lolz

edit: yes!

I win.

Also, it's a Maltese channel - I never  know if the next advert will be in Maltese, Italian or English.

Ahahaha - look at this old codger. Which country sent him?

Oh...

'mon israel!

If someone steals Jedward's Sunny Delight on Saturday they're fucked.

When do u find out top 3 and winner then?

that jedward song is stuck in my head now.

off to listen to some proper music.

Do you know where to find the actual top 3 in that heat Chompy, i can see why they wouldnt want to give the results in order but there will be a bit if carnage on BF with 60 k matched in that marlet

Semi results not revealed until after the final itself. Has always been thus. Apart from the year they revealed Serbia had won the semi on Greek TV. Sure we all remember that incident though.

Boo. I thought I could bink some granny money tonight!

cheers

Moldova drew spot 26 in the Final Chompy, Russian grannies had a mare and copped for one of the only 2(edit, cant count, there were 3 left when they drew) single numbers left in spot 6.

Final draw so far.

I managed to see 5 minutes of this while flicking channels and was surprised to see Shakira representing Greece.

Seems like just the sort of pap that could win.  What are the odds, and the thoughts of the experts please?

You can bet 40/1 with the firms, I don't fancy it much but that doesn't mean it can't win. Its drawn 16 which isn't brill but not terrible

I flick on the telly to catch this result, two acts to go and wtf no Russia, next out Russia, nice slowroll.

Greece abso not. Azerbaijan have wanted the ESC for a few years now coz they're minted. It's very expensive to stage.

Then there's Greece.

Here we go II....

The weaker semi-final

Evening all.... who do you like tonight Chompy?

Despo to see how Sweden works on the stage

boooooooooring so far

lol, I still think this Dutch song has to be a spoof

Awww, cute song, would be fine if she didn't sing like Marcel Luske

Got a punt on dez Nedz..

think they sound Irish.. should defo make final!!!!

xx

It's the fkn weed man, they can't help themshelvesh

"How is everybodah dooooooooo-ennnnnnnnnn"

is that chesney hawkes on bass for belarus?

oh and singer is fit as.  final please.

Belarus looked pretty hard tbf

Typical happy clappy euro-poppy-trash from Malta... good punt @ 26:1 to top 10..

Catchy & cheesy..

Tez female singer tho... prerecord sounds better than live..

Belarus?? Just.. no!

xx

Portugal.. meh!

Over run with croooonerrrrrrz this year thanks to bloody Azerbaijan winning last year..

Probs doesnt offend but also doesnt make yer bum twitch

out out out out

xx

That is a good song for sure.

Best song by a long way but 6/4 is terrible value

I'm confused.  do you mean

"that sure is a good song"  or

"[  ] that sure is a good song" ???

yes, there a still a few coffin draws left too, i didnt think it looked too good there to be honest. It was too dark, didnt show enough of her face.

sorry Claw, I mean it is a good song

this is shaping up to be the most boring eurovision ever (grannies and jedward aside).  Johnny Logan would piss it.

Slovakia wouldn't go amiss in Magics top 50 rock songs!

150-1 for the win giving aceness odds on the ew top 4 place

Certainly clears the cobwebs.. just wish he could sing :)

xx

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DJy1uC58pQ

I have not watched one programme or listened to one song this year.

But this is terrible, if this is the "value" heaven help the others.

Despite the Chompy advice I have only gone and backed Jedward. I hate to admit to liking the song and they did give a fantastic eurogay performance. For them to be a bigger price than the UK is just bonkers.

Think his opinion is more to do with the Chick than it is the tune.

Some 'interesting' acts so far!!

I have very little knowledge of this year's acts, but I've been told to look for Italy to drop in price straight after their act, currently 19.5, also told that France very overpriced at 400's!

Anyone seen these acts and have an opinion?

"I'm pretty sure if they get her medication right, that will never happen again."   rotflmfao Welcome to Eurovision 2012

Lines not open for voting until after the last song this year. That should increase the draw bias imo.

Also, performances on the night count for very little these days. Juries voted after last night's dressed rehearsal and most of the phone voters already know which way they're going. Ergo, wouldn't be worried by that awful effort by the grannies.

Germany and Azer both turned in very ordinary performances on the night.

I expect Denmark to shorten during the song for anyone looking for an easy trade. Went from 30s down to 25s in the semi the other night.

Sweden is such a joke price now, If it wins I lose, end of.

Think Estonia will do well. Kid has a voice and charisma, plus all very simple.

Sweden perf nicely changed for the final, a million times better than in the semi, oh well.

was very good. could win by miles right?

also she's a dead ringer for Claudia Winkleman

Could abso crush. If it only scores 1-7pts with first jury, though, I'd be looking at max lay at 2.2 odd.

Did someone suggest laying Sweden not just outright, but to finish in top 10? Or is my memory playing up?

Yup, that would have been me. Good to be aggressive with ESC betting. Just happened to have gone wrong with this one...(maybe)

Denmark odds please?

top 4 for a scoop

I suppose it was risking little to win a lot, but seems a dodgy one!

Out to 60. All depends on how Sweden go down. If they don't win it could be a weird year.

Jedward had the perfect "camp" song, surely?

Lolz, tough call when it's a 1.05 shot

Did the Serbian guy just say he did a druggie poo?

I backed France and Ukraine top 5.  had 80/1 and 60/1 placed last 2 yrs, hopefully run continues.  where you see France at 400's??  Edit just saw betfair

Ukraine is a grower tbf. Rusty Lee sings Anastasia.

Still like the Greece singer song, and I can imagine half of Europe spite voting so that they win it and have to host!

Every year it all looks so clear-cut after the songs are done but then, most years, the votes start coming in and everyone thinks WTF!

On a unrelated note- think ur pic does need a caption Chompy. In fact, some might say, it deserves a caption comp thread

Sweden now 1.78 - ridic.

I'm on Jedward for top 3, with a slight tickle on them FTW

Denmark now 100!!!!!!!!

Convinced Estonia does well here and still around 120.

Final bet France top 10 18's

Doubled up to £5 e/w

:-)

Sweden back to 2, Russia in to 5, sort of looks like the shrewdies 'know'. Believe me they don't, these moves go awry every year.

I quite like that Ukraine song, had a small bet on that @ 60/1.

Malta, Estonia and Italy for top 10 please :)

Grannies price collapse, now 3.8. They couldn't flip flop could they?

Make that 3.3

Juries voted yesterday on the dress rehearsal. I wonder how many of them have BF accounts.

Looks like it just might-

Edit: Stabilised now, back to Sweden odds on and Russia 5s

Standard swingaments

Done deal, zzzzzzzzzz

This is the biggest waste of anyones time.
