Weird that the only (relatively) unknown act are the favourites...perhaps they are hoping that the UK public didn't vote for the losers last time so won't vote for them this time...

 

I still don't understand how Peter Cox won Reborn In The USA though when he fluffed his words in one of his songs in the final...Michelle Gayle should have won that

The Revelations may be the most unknown but they do have the most experience (besides Michelle Gayle), so I'm sure they'll pull something good out of the bag.

Here are a few more from Paddy Power:

 

Will Rodolfo Chikilicuatre sing for Spain at Eurovision 2008?

 

Yes. 1/5

No, but he will get a Grammy in the future. 20/1

 

Will Dustin the Turkey win the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest?

 

Yes 5/1 :o :lol:

Oh and Dustin is 1/100 to win the Irish NF tomorrow with Betfair. :lol:

Dustin is guaranteed to do a Verka, I'm certain! :lol:

That is just the biggest load of c**p. Sorry but I'm so angry about that. There are so many great songs in the Spanish selection and they look like they will opt for this clown, who is only being given a chance at the national final thanks to vote rigging.

Latest Ladbrokes odds:

 

Ireland 8/1

United Kingdom 33/1

 

:(

Fair enough I suppose...UK can hardly be highly fancied after our last 5 years of results...I fully expect Ireland to finish in the top ten at the very least and they are a potential top 3 finish. I just hope that they don't win even though the song's surprisingly not that bad

i heard on radio today here in ireland that ireland are 5/1 faves to win

Ireland are currently the favourites with PaddyPower, however they are only offering bets on four countries! :lol:

 

Ireland 5/1

United Kingdom 18/1

Spain 25/1

Germany 25/1

Oh and some MYMU ones. :D

 

The Revelations 15 - 8

Andy Abraham 5 - 2

Michelle Gayle 9 - 2

Simona Armstrong 5 - 1

Rob McVeigh 6 - 1

LoveShy 8 - 1

Judging by fan reactions on various websites, Rob McVeigh might be worth a punt at 6-1...the only artists that I'm sure won't win are Michelle Gayle & Simona Armstrong. The other 4 at least have some sort of chance

I'd say Simona stands more of a chance than LoveShy tbh. I think the chances of LoveShy getting through the panel stage are EXTREMELY slim.

Really :o I guess these 3 would go through initially: The Revelations, Rob McVeigh and Andy Abraham and then the wildcard will be Loveshy or Simona...Michelle Gayle has no chance with that song

Yeah I agree with the three choices you've said, but I can see Simona getting through as the wildcard. That Michelle Gayle song is pretty awful.

I'd say that one of the girl groups will be the wildcard. They'll definitely both be going through I'd say. HOPEFULLY!

My revised odds:

 

Turkey 6/1

Ireland 7/1

Ukraine 7/1

Switzerland 8/1

Norway 9/1

Greece 10/1

Bulgaria 14/1

Malta 14/1

Slovenia 14/1

Azerbaijan 16/1

Hungary 16/1

Denmark 18/1

Romania 18/1

Andorra 20/1

Iceland 20/1

Cyprus 22/1

Israel 22/1

Czech Republic 25/1

Poland 25/1

Albania 33/1

Croatia 33/1

Estonia 33/1

Belarus 40/1

FYR Macedonia 40/1

Moldova 50/1

United Kingdom 150/1

Lithuania 250/1

 

And the UK's pathetic odds aren't even sour grapes. I really do think we'll do that badly.

Wouldn't it be fantastic if I woke up and found out Michelle Gayle was our entry :(

 

Given that she was my 3rd favourite out of the 6, that should say a lot -_-

Ireland are currently the favourites with PaddyPower, however they are only offering bets on four countries! :lol:

 

Ireland 5/1

United Kingdom 18/1

Spain 25/1

Germany 25/1

 

Now Andy is confirmed for the UK

United Kingdom 50/1
