Anyone placed their bets yet? I decided to put £40 on this year and have distributed that as follows (I still see a Ukraine win but there's so little return with that, there is really no point):

 

£5 each way on Sweden at 8/1 (I always back my favourite and keeping everything crossed for Cornelia)

£5 each way on UK at 13/2 (I usually put something on the UK, this time it feels like a less stupid bet than usual)

£3 each way on Greece at 40/1 (could see a route for this being like top 3 with the jury and top 10 on the televote to sneak 4th maybe?)

£3 each way on Norway at 50/1 (it'll tank with juries I'm sure but should smash the televote so you never know - could be top four but I'd guess lower top ten)

£2 each way on Netherlands at 80/1 (could also be a potential 4th placer, in a Belgium 2017 sort of fashion)

£2 each way on Serbia at 100/1 (something is very striking about this - it has very high viral potential and could well mop up the Eastern votes and tbh a lot of Western televotes so I don't want to ignore it)

I split a tenner this morning across three UK based bets - one on the UK to win outright, one on the UK to win AND Ireland to qualify, and one on the UK to come top 3 AND Ireland to qualify.

 

Even that last one would return a nice £50, might make me more nervous for Thursday night :lol:

Spent £10 and I put 4 on each way (Ukraine, Italy, Norway and Poland). Hopefully I get some money back!

I put a fiver on Spain each-way too at 20/1 after seeing Chanel perform so got back just over £40 overall, from the each ways on UK, Spain and Sweden. A loss of just under £5 overall but I'm not unhappy about it.
