[Grinch]

The current top 10 are:

3. Turkey - 9

Good old days

 

[Meiaro]

I think that will get an higher ranking compared to the odds.
will place lower. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[DanielLuis]

Ireland definetely shouldn't be in the top ten. They'd totally deserve a bottom 10 though. Remember how Denmark used to be 3rd? They're falling fast!

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

I think that will get an higher ranking compared to the odds.

I hope so!!

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

Not much change, just a little - notably Romania has emerged in the Top 10!

1. Sweden - 3.45
2. Italy - 9.4
3. Russia - 14
4. United Kingdom - 15.5
5. Serbia - 16.5
6. Denmark - 17.5
7. Germany - 24
8. Iceland - 24
9. Romania - 24
10. Spain - 25

Uk 4th?! Wonder where they got that idea from. Really.

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

Cuz our song is like the best?!

 

[MrNae89]

United Kingdom has a good chance to take a high place in spite of the fact that some polls show low results. There is nothing to wonder. I think that UK will certainly receive strong support from old people votes, which does not take part in various internet polls, but it is the ESC audience share. I also think that Hump will receive high marks from juries. The biggest disadvantage of drawing the first number. If would be the last, could even win. And the song "Love Will Set You Free" is really wonderful.

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

It is funny to me how it always seems to be Swedes criticising the British entry... nervous or what?!

 

[RainyWoods]

Im not a betting man at all but gosh am I really itching to put a bet on Albania.. not to win but for a top 5 or maybe even top 3 finish. Last year I thought that Italy could win when no one else did, they came 2nd overall and 1st with the jury. I feel something very similar happening again this year for Rona. I don't think Sweden can be toppled but I think Albania can surprise.

Also think that Albania can really suprise , and I know that they will pass in the final ( unfortunately ) .
But I think that not top 5 but can really get some 8. - 15.th place .

I seriously doubt Sweden has anything to fear from the UK. Sweden's main challengers seem to be Russia, Ireland, Serbia and Italy atm.

According to whom?

 

[stephanos13]

Don't see the betting odds . Odds have no common about the songs, is just about the countries .

EVERY YEAR THE SAME COUNTRIES WITH DIFFERENT ORDER IN THE BETTINGS ODDS.

 

[QwaarJet]

According to whom?

I said SEEM to be. If you look around all the media outlets and betting agencies, they seem to be the contenders for the top. It's speculation, but at least with some grounds, as opposed to just guessing based on your own opinions. There is some room for maneuver, but I expect all of the mentioned countries to be there or thereabouts come the end of voting.

Well, I guess there is no way to know before the contest where UK will end up. But as you say Engelbert is the first one to perform and honestly I think it's a too big disadvantage for him to end up top 5. Also I don't think the song appeals to enough people for the song to be in 4th place. We'll just have to see.

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

United Kingdom moved into third place!

1. Sweden - 3.15
2. Italy - 8.7
3. United Kingdom - 11.6
4. Russia - 11.6
5. Serbia - 15.5
6. Denmark - 17
7. Romania - 19.5
8. Iceland - 20
9. Spain - 24
10. Germany - 25

Where do you get those odds? I just checked oddschecker and the UK was in 5th place overall.

It's obvious to me that it's mostly the name that carries the UK's odds right now. Though I don't dislke the song I just have a hard time believing it would be that high if it was Josh Dubovie performing it.
