I did a random one (still with diaspora) a few days back and Azerbaijan won reasonably comfortably, with Portugal in second, yet Portugal had won the televote and came 2nd in the juries, while Azerbaijan was 5th and 4th respectively. Not quite sure what to make of that. Only thing I can think of is that Azerbaijan had favourable combinations but even the 50/50 splits didn't seem overly like that.

 

I wish I got the weird ones on normal odds/diaspora though, just tried another one and it was a standard dull Armenia/Azerbaijan/Sweden affair, with the only interesting thing being Latvia in a distant 4th after winning the jury by 22 points (!!!).

I've noticed some weird things like that too.

 

For example one of the finals I did had Israel and Belgium in the top two with Belgium winning by about 10 points. However Israel came 1st and 4th (public & jury) while Belgium came 2nd and 6th.

 

It didn't make a lick of sense.

With UK left to vote Azerbaijan was 1st with 160 points and Norway 2nd with 155 points.

 

The 12 went to Norway! :cheer:

 

1. Norway (167)

2. Azerbaijan (160)

3. Romania (152)

4. Ukraine (152)

5. Sweden (149)

6. United Kingdom (131)

Just had a very exciting simulation, it came down to the last vote which was from Ukraine meaning their votes would decide the winner between Armenia and the UK! Here was the final result:

 

1. Armenia (182)

2. United Kingdom (166)

3. Ukraine (166)

4. Sweden (141)

5. Belgium (141)

6. Denmark (139)

7. Norway (136)

8. Latvia (130)

9. Malta (126)

10. Spain (117)

Only 182 points to win? :blink:

Jerick's simulation above had even lower points for the winner! :o

So it did!

 

Looking forward to the voting though! Gonna be so exciting!

Here's the results of my latest simulation:

 

1. Romania (210)

2. Denmark (173)

3. Ukraine (161)

4. Azerbaijan (152)

5. Norway (150)

6. Armenia (129)

7. Sweden (119)

8. Greece (116)

9. Belgium (111)

10. Spain (107)

A simulation I just did.

 

1. United Kingdom (208)

2. Armenia (158)

3. Azerbaijan (145)

4. Belarus (138)

5. Estonia (132)

6. Russia (131)

7. Denmark (106)

8. Ukraine (97)

9. Austria (95)

10. Italy (95)

 

Romania? LOL

So this is an actual thing that people other than Ryan care about?

 

The things I learn when I venture into this crazy forum. (yes I'm leaving again ok Pav)

Here's another simulation that I've just done!

 

1. Armenia (237)

2. Hungary (158)

3. Norway (157)

8. Belgium (113)

9. Finland (112)

10. Austria (107)

 

The UK were 11th with 100 points, exactly what Blue achieved I think!

I've just done another simulation! :kink:

 

1. Armenia (273)

2. Poland (209)

3. Sweden (163)

4. Georgia (162)
