Armenia 5/4!
Sweden 6/1
Norway 8/1
Hungary 12/1
Belgium 14/1
Azerbaijan 16/1
Denmark 16/1
UK 20/1
Ukraine 20/1
Russia 20/1
33 Bar

Early thoughts...

Like Iceland to qualify among the bigger prices.

Will take both Norway and Denmark over Sweden in match bets. Denmark is such a happy number and a lot of the others this year are heavy going.

Won't be taking on Armenia in the outright market and won't be backing it either at current prices. Had an absurd number of youtube views compared to the others.

Some bird called Molly who's singing a disjointed number.

Price is holding up well for now but the inevitable slide towards three figures will start before long. Mid-div for us this year imo.

Azerbaijan are available at 27/1 on Betfair as I type.
They joined Eurovision in 2008. Their record is 8th, 3rd, 5th, 1st, 4th, 2nd.
Azerbaijan is an oil rich country that spends a lot of money abroad promoting themselves as 'The Land of Fire', much as the oil rich countries do in the Middle East.
The Eurovision is one of their favourite things and is the most watched programme on Azeri tv despite being on after midnight, due to time differences.

So they spend a lot of thier entries, getting very professional acts and production. That's all great but the great thing is, they cheat. The votes are 50% from national juries and 50% from phone votes. They bribe the national juries and they recruit networks of people to do the phone voting. Money is no object.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ojSKQamf-E (cut to about 7min in but it's all a bit boring)
The Eurovision has said they will ban countries who are found to be engaged in cheating but meh, I don't think they just want to be seen to be doing the right thing and really want to sweep it under the carpet.

Oh, the song? Yeah, who cares but here it is anyway. Not great but they cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat so it doesn't matter Smiley

Weakest Azerbaijan entry for a few years, but take your points.

Surprised that Crimea asked to join Russia after declaring independence - could have had a run at Eurovision.

Italy available at 2.24 to finish top ten. They have managed this every year since the semi finals have been introduced in 2004.

She's scary but course and distance form rules.

Thought it didn't sound too bad in Polish. Bits of it reminded me of Prince Charming. Gruesome in English though.
