What were Amaury's odds this time last year? And Safura's the year before? I've learnt not to trust these bookmakers! I do still find it interesting seeing how the odds change though...

I do think that's a little long for the UK at 10/1...Hungary have really dropped down since getting drawn in 5th as well. Bearing in mind that Ireland probably/hopefully won't do that well (although a part of me feels that this is the exposure they needed to become huge European personalities as well as UK/Ireland :o), France are looking at a landslide here. But then the crowd seemed to favour the UK more...Saturday will be interesting, but I'm still seeing a France win with the UK 2nd/3rd. I'd like to see Austria do better than mid-table, but at least she's qualified :D

I kept the faith in Lena!

 

Sognu doing SO badly really was strange but Euphoria's far more commercial and already smashing across Europe, I don't see them as comparable situations personally.

Lena was favourite along with Azerbaijan for most of the season and I think favourite on the day itself. God knows why Safura would've stayed favourite after drawing first, normally the betting markets react quite quickly to the draw...

Tell me about it, I haven't bothered betting this year, but I was going to put a fiver each-way on Ukraine, it's just not worth it now. I'll just sit back, play drinking games, eat international cuisine and be happy for whoever wins (except Russia).
