May 10, 201213 yr Poor Tirren. Once the champion, now the underdog, even your fantastic entries are slipping under the radar odds-wise :( Hopefully the limp odds won't turn out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
May 10, 201213 yr With all those profile badges, Tirren's won more awards than every other member of Buzzjack put together. :P Sometimes when doing odds, you listen to a song and think "I love this, so surely everyone else will like it to some degree" and forget that there are others who have almost polar opposite tastes in music. Pure pop won't appeal to the indie kids, and visa versa. However, an entries' success really just stems from whoever is voting that month. Have a month with a load of indie countries voting, and pure pop won't stand a chance. Or vica versa as proved that month when Jessica Mauboy won in what was quite clearly a pop dominated contest. I'm also guilty of prasing an entry just because it's one of, if not my overall favourite. Last month I really liked 'Bodyrock' and believed others would really like the track and was building up this whole "Mikey to host BJSC" because it was his best entry since 'Drama Queen' imo. It finished 9th, but I really did think it had top 5 guaranteed, and this was pretty much reflected in my odds. However, I also had 'Play' as second favourite based on others raving over the song/personal charts. I didn't exactly think the song was that great (perhaps a bit too indie for my commercial tastes :D ) but nonetheless I was right to put it high in my odds.
May 10, 201213 yr that's why I haven't odds or predictions yet - I find it incredibly difficult to predict, obviously you can gather which is the most popular genre and which tracks may have wider appeal than certain others, but I can never honestly tell if its gonna flop or not without taking out personal bias (and indeed, I'm incredibly lost on one certain hyped track here and probably wouldn't have predicted it so well)
May 13, 201213 yr As always I'll be doing average odds prior to the semi final results, so if you want to be included and haven't posted yet I'll be doing them in a few hours :D

May 13, 201213 yr BJSC XLIII SEMI FINALS: AVERAGE ODDS! I have averaged out all of the odds posted in here to one decimal place as usual, so where countries have the same odds, the higher country will actually be more favoured than the other :) Also, I have included each country's highest and lowest odds so we can judge which countries are the most consistent or inconsistent! So, here are BJSC's average odds for the each semi final in Numayania! SEMI FINAL 1 01. 4/1 Eledan 02. 10/1 Kingdom of Shadow 03. 10/1 Ingermanlandia 04. 12/1 Ashton 05. 15/1 Ramrynia 06. 15/1 Seyetana 07. 16/1 Caerfyrddia 08. 17/1 Tinnmark 09. 18/1 Ojnoj 10. 23/1 Numayania 11. 25/1 Syndare 12. 31/1 Scherzland 13. 31/1 Aeroche 14. 31/1 Aquafina 15. 32/1 FYR Vojvodina-on-the-Wold ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16. 44/1 Utopia 17. 45/1 Budtar 18. 45/1 Keypopian Republic 19. 48/1 PRoJ 20. 48/1 Sangria 21. 50/1 Kluminican Republic 22. 53/1 Isconia 23. 56/1 Bellamia 24. 58/1 Espen 25. 59/1 Bignia-Zaragovina SEMI FINAL 2 01. 4/1 Daehun 02. 8/1 FSR Rontvia 03. 13/1 Unovia 04. 14/1 Zechonia 05. 16/1 Botanikka 06. 16/1 Kopecka 07. 20/1 Batidas 08. 22/1 Hendinia 09. 25/1 Farahtyn 10. 27/1 Lake Thermwoods 11. 28/1 Mdice 12. 36/1 B.a.N.G. 13. 38/1 Palmyra 14. 39/1 Umiiruka 15. 39/1 Kylienips ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16. 43/1 Land of Jack 17. 43/1 Persephonia 18. 45/1 Sandeborg 19. 46/1 Greenfroze 20. 50/1 #00274E 21. 54/1 Terra Avium 22. 61/1 Allecian 23. 62/1 Fljotavik 24. 62/1 Usfland 25. 64/1 Danaelanda Quite a few high odds for the outsiders due to Ghosty's high odds! :kink: Edited May 13, 201213 yr by Ryan741
May 13, 201213 yr Ryan's odds look FANCIER (after all the experience compiling them!). Better luck next time Tombliboo :o
May 13, 201213 yr Author They are BOTH as useful Pav, one shows the highest odds in each semi and the other shows the overall odds for both semi combined ;).
May 13, 201213 yr They are BOTH as useful Pav, one shows the highest odds in each semi and the other shows the overall odds for both semi combined ;). This is the semi stage, so separate odds are more appropriate for now :D
May 13, 201213 yr Author True that, not sure if Tombliboo know that doing the Odd's average odds is Ryan's thing now though :lol: But I'm happy for topping Semi 2 Odds :D Edited May 13, 201213 yr by Oricon
May 13, 201213 yr I guess there is a use for both of them! :kink: Did Tombliboo use to do this then? I did it for my own benefit a few times, fair play to you matey - apologies for treading on your territory :-P
