:lol: Even i know that i'm not even remotely likely to come Top 20, let alone Win. :lol:

When i first heard my entry...i was like "OMGZ. have to entr diz"... Now listening to some of the other tracks in the contest...it doesn't stand a chance! :(

(Although i still love the track personally. ;))

Wow :o

 

I absolutely LOVE your song this month :wub: I'd heard of the band before, but thought they were a bit emo. Listening to this, it's like a dancier Owl City, so I love it :wub: Consider yourself hyped!

Surprise win for Greenfroze? :o A lot of people seem to be liking it

It's quite catchy, and I think it could get votes from pop voters, while I don't think it's poppy enough to put off the indie voters. And if other people heard this song before the contest, like I did (on Radio 1s new music generator), perhaps it's had some time to grow on them.

 

A Greenfroze win would be fully deserved :wub:

 

The biggest grower of the lot of them. First listen, it was alright, but there was something grabbing my attention. Second listen is when it hit me properly. :wub: (Hope I haven't given away too much :lol:)

Pavel, just want to know if there's a particular reason why FSR Rontvia fell below Bignia-Zaragovina in your last set of odds? :o :unsure: And Happy Birthday :D

 

Could someone please explain how the numbers for the odds work, and how I'd go about coming up with reasonable numbers, so my odds aren't just a list :P

 

I put 10 NOK on Greenfroze :o

 

You could actually be making some money tomorrow :heehee:

Could someone please explain how the numbers for the odds work, and how I'd go about coming up with reasonable numbers, so my odds aren't just a list :P

For example, from David's odds:

 

4/1 Nonsuch: Susanna Kay - Off The Hook

6/1 Palmyra: Travis McCoy; Bruno Mars - Billionaire

7/1 Mdiče: I Blame Coco - Self Machine

 

Nonsuch will win 1 time every 4 times they lose BJSC27. Palmyra will win 1 time every 6 times they lose BJSC27. Mdiče will win 1 time every 7 times they lose BJSC27. And so on.

 

If the odds were like this:

 

1/3 Liechenstaan: Jadyn Maria ft. Katy Perry - Man's World (:kink:)

 

I would win 3 times every 1 time I lost BJSC27. D'ya get me? :D

Not fully :unsure: Win 3 times every 1 time you lose in BJSC27? But you can't win and lose in the same contest can you?

 

Maybe I'm just being a bit stupid :(

No, it means if the same contest was played 4 times, I'd've won 3 times, and lost once.

Ok, I get you now, but it would be a bit silly playing the same contest more than once :kink: And I thought odds involved money :unsure: But don't worry, I do understand now

It's just Theo can't explain properly.

 

If a song has 27/1 it means that if you bet 1 pound you will win 27 pounds, i.e. the 'higher' the odds are - the more money you will get, and because bookies don't really like to lose money (who does? :lol: ) they set these odds only to a less probable event. Basically, 3/1 is a safe bet, you won't win much if a song wins, but if a bet is something like 50/1 - this event is less probable but you will win more if this song wins (although it happens very rarely because bookies know what they do (usually haha!)).

About these 100/3 - this is the same, just divide 100 onto 3 and you will get 33.(3), which works the same as the 33.(3)/1 bet.

 

The higher the result of the division - the less probable an event is.

Ah, thanks Pavel, that's what I thought :) I might try that from next edition, since I'll either be off school or have just a couple more days of school left, so there'll be more time to complicate things :lol:

Or you can reverse 7/1 into 1/7 - this is the usual probability (out of 1), the less the number - the less the probability and vice versa :o

Oh and thank you for happy birthday wish <3

Oh go on then...

Don't believe this for a second btw :lol:

Ooh decent odds for Bhangra. :D I'll be well annoyed if Botanikka finish above me though, seeing as I nearly sent Spark! That didn't affect the way I voted however. :smoke:

:lol:

 

and I was going to say the same...but I'm pretty sure The Wanted will finish higher than Spark.

No way. Spark will finish higher. (imo)

 

 

I'm not sure TBH...the wanted might get votes from 'oh it's so unboyband-ish song' while Spark might lose votes because people think she is not better in any way as Marina or Ellie.

:lol:

I know we ended up having a bit of a swap didn't we? :lol: Always the "danger" when you choose another artist and someone else sends your previous choice!

I think both will finish relatively close to each other tbh. I don't think boy bands have a pretty good record of doing well in this do they? Have JLS ever been entered? :unsure: So obviously the Wanted have that going against them. And people keep comparing Spark for Marina and Ellie, and although I really like Shut Out the Moon I don't think it comes close to Marina's material myself.

 

We shall see tomorrow though! :magic:
