It's of course incredibly early to start looking at odds, but we do start to see potential hype even at this early stage! The reason I'm opening this now as the first set of "proper" odds (not Betfair Exchange) have just been published by Betfred. As you'd probably predict the usually successful countries are at the top with one exception of Estonia: 10/1 - Estonia, Greece, Sweden, Azerbaijan 14/1 - Serbia, Armenia, Norway 16/1 - Denmark All the odds have remained the same since first published a couple of days ago except for Estonia who were at 16/1 and are now up with the predictable leaders. Elina & Stig really have managed to create a lot of hype - over 100,000 YouTube views in a week! Once the odds start moving properly then I'll post proper updates, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Finland (currently at 33/1) start to drop in price as I sense hype with Satin Circus. Also Czech Republic can be found at 25/1 surprisingly! |

Just want to say this from the off that shortening odds only means that people are putting more money behind said entry winning rather than being organised by a super expert. Most people on here are generally fine in that regard but people on twitter/the Euroblogs really irritate me sometimes because they don't know how betting odds work.

It's also worth remembering that at this stage, all it literally takes is one or two medium bets to shift the odds. Latvia dropped from 100/1 to 66/1 instantly when I put on £30 after I first heard Saule riet.

£30! Why on earth did you put that much trust in the Latvian voting public?

I managed to unwind it after, but given the hype around it (especially compared to bloody Cake To Bake...) while Latvia were at odds of about 100/1 it looked like an absolute *steal* of an each way.

Never realised Montenegro were so fancied in 2009 either. |

DJ Bobo was robbed!
Those 2011 odds *.* Everyone was SO wrong! I still think Blue should have been top five at least though, as they were on the televote. For me it's still one of the most memorable songs from that year, Popular and Jedward () being by far the most memorable. |

Of course as we know any small bets make a huge difference at this point, but as I expected Finland's odds have been slashed a couple of times now - down to 10/1 and joint 2nd favourite behind Estonia who are now down to just 7/1! Presumably this is due to Satin Circus, but they are only 2nd favourites to win the Finnish selection according to Unibet, the favourites being Pertti Kurikan Nimipaivat.

Estonia as low as 9/2 now, Finland down to 5/1 and Sweden down to 8/1. No change anywhere else except Switzerland are down to 20/1 suggesting they have a little bit more support than the other selected entries so far (but of course the market is very slow at the moment).

To be fair, Estonia's hasn't been either. Why are they getting such short odds?

The only similarity Elina & Stig have to The Common Linnets is the fact it's a mixed duo but apart from that they aren't that similar - 'Goodbye To Yesterday' reminds me more of Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used To Know' than it does of 'Calm After The Storm'. However yes they have got a lot of hype, they are nearly at one million YouTube views in just 6 weeks which I believe is unprecedented for an Eesti Laul entry! Although the Estonian jury aren't very reliable so I very much doubt they will win.

More and more bookmakers are putting their odds up now so we are beginning to get a bit more of a clearer picture. Italy are still favourites at around the 2/1 mark but over the last few days Estonia have been shortening across the board and now down to around the 3/1 mark.
Finland who had moved up to 2nd have started to drop, out to 7/1 at a couple of places, but Sweden are picking up momentum who are between 5 and 10/1. Australia are around 12s and 14s now after their artist announcement. |

Slovenia's odds are continuing to shorten quickly today, they are now comfortably fifth favourites to win!
