May 6, 20178 yr Portugal have overtaken Bulgaria to become second favourite, still a way behind Italy though. It's nice to see foreign language songs being the favourites, hopefully if one of them win we'll see more non-English entries next year.

I really adore that song. :wub: I'm really thinking the odds are very accurate this year and the top 2 will be Italy and Portugal. :o I hope Portugal wins because I don't like that italian monkey. :drama: Edited May 7, 20178 yr by Jason
May 9, 20178 yr Portugal odds still shortening. :dance: I think Italy and Portugal will fight for the crown Belgium and Sweden will fight for the third place and Armenia and Azerbaijan will fight for the fifth place.
May 9, 20178 yr I still think Bulgaria will be a serious threat to Francesco, Armenia are on lock for top 5 if not top 3. Portugal will be 3rd or 4th.
May 9, 20178 yr I seriously doubt Belgium will do that well. Look out for Bulgaria. Lex, going back to your reasons why Italy won't win, theoretically if "Never Give Up On You" was sent by someone like Sweden or Russia, could you see it as a potential winner, does it fit your criteria? I seem to remember stuff about lyrical themes which I think Lucie might tick.
May 9, 20178 yr Yes, I forgot Bulgaria. They are easily the strongest entry in the semi final 2 and I think Bulgaria could be top 5 in the final night. Also believe that the teenage girls across Europe will love that boy. :lol:

I seem to remember stuff about lyrical themes which I think Lucie might tick. I mean it's possible. A lot of the reasons I thought Italy wouldn't win are Italy-specific but I suppose it's possible. A big thing that's in Italy's way is the "kitsch" stuff and the fact that there isn't really an emotional factor which, in fairness, "Never Give Up On You" meets plus there's the "triumphing through adversity" theme that a lot of big scorers have had. I suppose if Russia were sending this song then it could well be a contender but I think that's true of enough songs throughout Eurovision history.
May 10, 20178 yr I would love Portugal to win. Italy I can't understand the runaway winner going by betting,I think I don't want Italy to win as I still remember how badly they hosted in 1991,it was such a mess and probably the worst to date.
May 11, 20178 yr Portugal now really catching up to Italy, when you bet £10, the return is £20 for Italy and £27.50 for Portugal! Blanche isn't far off 3rd either but I expect Bulgaria to end up shortening a fair bit after the semi in the same way that Blanche and Salvador did. Wish I'd bet on Portugal now but until last night I just didn't think there was a point and now the odds are too short to bother (I've already made 3 bets totalling £15).
May 11, 20178 yr So, I've tried to get in there before the live show tonight moves things up/down again. I've got EW bets on Netherlands (40/1) and Sweden (22/1) to win and less lucrative ones for Poland and Belarus to come top 10.
May 11, 20178 yr I placed an each way bet on Portugal, Bulgaria and Azerbaijan. I placed some minor bets on who will make the top 10 in the final, including Belgium, The Netherlands and Greece.
May 11, 20178 yr Absolutely no idea why that Portugal track is so high in the odds, the definition of drab.
