The Bookies - Eurovision 2014 Betting Odds

[Leydan]

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

Don't worry is at hand to fulfil that

 

[DanielLuis]

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.

I was stating my opinion....some people have issues here, honestly.

 

[dogmeat]

You're stating your opinion and I'm questioning it. Isn't this how discussions are held?

You said "how that's any concern to you". It isn't I'm just saying what I think about the subject. But you talked like my opinion didn't matter, it was quite strongly worded. You do realize I wasn't criticizing people that bet before all the songs were known, I just said that I prefered the markets to open after all songs are revealed so people can bet with all of the contestants in the show in mind. If they want to be before knowing them, then let them bet, whatever.
"What's your problem with that?, "how does that concern you" is not respecting an opinion

 

[dogmeat]

People CAN bet after all contestants are known, regardless of when the markets are opened. It's a flaw in your reasoning I'm pointing out. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that and I think you're oversensitive. Which is disturbingly common on this forum...

Why the heck did you have to say "I don't see how that's of any concern to you." though? You didn't even point that out in your initial reply. Sure people can bet before or after all songs are known. But in my opinion, I'd bet after all the songs are known, I wouldn't bet blindly without knowing if there's something better coming or not. I understand if people want to bet before, but I just don't see how that's of any conrern to you doesnt sound very good.

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

Agree...

SWEDEN!! Stop having such a successful track record .... it is such a pain in the a......

 

[markdowd]

The value bet I think is Hungary at 12-1 with William Hill.........I think the odds will shorten as we get nearer....to May 10th

 

[markdowd]

as a purely neutral observer of this exchange, I agree that the comment "I don't see how that's of any concern to you" was distinctly odd and out of place.....DanielLuis 1 Dogmeat 0

I put £10 when they were 22/1

What are semi-final markets and where can you bet on that?

 

[anto475]

Everyone has Norway on top! Is there something that the bookies know that we don't??

 

[ParadiseES]

Belgium, Spain and Austria are so high and Italy so low

Austria was a big surprise to me. Especially all the heavy criticism I've seen. Obviously people are not against Conchita as people seem to think. Italy's odds are improving (blue colouring means improving) But obviously they think Italy will flop and get their worse result since their return TBH this is the first time I have liked their song since they came back.

Well, Italy was in top-10 when they chose the song. I guess we must wait for all the songs to have their fuss time and then everyone will go to the place they belong. Italy a quite high one

 

[joancamo]

I'm shocked Russia is so high considering the political problems with Ukraine

I wouldn't put it past them to bet on themselves to drum up their own beat.
