Meh. Shouldn't they wait for the songs to be chosen first? That way, I could bet 100€ on , hope for a really good entry and eventually win 10000€

actually this isn't such a bad idea...

 

[ParadiseES]

Why Norway first? Did someone find an outstanding song in MGP?

And Spain was 2nd..... until we chose Ruth. We're so clever, oh yeah....

Carl Espen - Silent Storm (Official Lyric Video) - YouTube

that's why Norway is first

wow this song is beautiful!

But I'd never bet my money on this anyway. This is the kind of songs that really needs more than 1 listening.

1 Norway - 4
2 Sweden - 8
3 Romania - 8
4 United Kingdom - 9

It s a really nice song but I wouldnt say that going to win cause UK is much better, IMO

It bugs me that it is always a nordic country in the top even as the songs haven't been choosed

Agreed, the markets should only be opened after all the songs are revealed.

 

[Somebody]

Why Norway? Not that Carl Espen is anything like Rybak or Loreen.

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

It bugs me that it is always a nordic country in the top even as the songs haven't been choosed

If you didnt have such a successful track record it wouldnt happen

I think those odds probably consider who the favourite is in the national selection and are based off that. It's kind of an 'A = B, B = C, so A = C' sort of thing - Norway is likely to choose Silent Storm, and Silent Storm is likely to do well in Eurovision, so Norway is likely to do well in Eurovision. ParadiseES mentioned another example with Spain - they were high up in the odds with Mas, which was expected to win in Spain and do well in Copenhagen, but when the Spanish song ended up as Dancing in the Rain, that changed.

1999 Sweden
2000 Denmark
2006 Finland
2009 Norway
2012 Sweden
2013 Denmark
2014 ¿? Norway , Sweden, Denmak ¿?

In fact this countries get use to send great entries to ESC however I would like a wester winner for this year, Uk, Spain, Belgium, Netherland, Portugal, France, Ireland and so on. Scandinavium winner 3 in a row, no please :twisted:

 

[dogmeat]

Agreed, the markets should only be opened after all the songs are revealed.

And what's your problem with that? There are people willing to bet on Eurovision before all songs are selected and I don't see how that's of any concern to you.

 

[Salmon]

Scandinavium winner 3 in a row, no please :twisted:

The word Scandinavium just sounds so beautiful

It's probably the element successful ESC entries are made of

 

[FilipFromSweden]

I don't think there will be a nordic winner this year.

 

[Harb]

I love Scandinavia more than the next person but I do hope we have a winner from elsewhere in Europe this year.

 

[Salmon]

I don't hope there will be a nordic winner this year.

FTFY

FTFY

There are no chances believe be...Almost all the nordic countries have won...now it's time for Big5 be Big again
