Yes I did thanks. :heart: It seems amazing, I've found two Beverley Knight tracks they've got mixed up though . :heehee: Exciting stuff, it's hard to believe something like this is allowed. :o If only I could edit their tags, it'd be perfect.

 

Anyway...BJSC...I'll do some odds in a few days.

I was thinking about this a while ago. We were being flooded with female singer-songwritier types before and now it's steering towards electropop so I was wondering if I should send an incredibly cheap entry from Vanessa Carlton this month instead. But I'm sure most people know her big hit and I already found out what happens when you send an album track from a similar kind of one hit wonder.

ooh who would that be?

 

And Money was f***ing awful to be fair

Is there anywhere that these odds are explained?

Or would someone be so kind as to briefly explain it to me?

I'm so stupid :(

:P

Basically, the numbers work together, so, let me just take an example:

 

66/1

 

The number on the left is how many times something is expected not to happen, in comparison to how many it is expected to happen on the right. Let's say that these odds are for victory - the odds above would indicate that, if the scenario were to be repeated 67 times, 66 times out of those 67 the country would not be expected to win, 1 out of those 67 that they would be expected to win.

 

Far more likely odds are 5/1 etc. When it's the other way around (the larger number on the right), it means that something is more likely to happen than not. So, for example, I had odds of 1/10 on Hendinia qualifying - that means, if I were to repeat the scenario 11 times, I would only expect Hendinia to miss out on qualification once, and to qualify ten times. Evens is basically 1/1 - 50/50 if you will :P To work out percentages etc., add the two numbers together, divide 100 by the number you get and multiply it by the number on the right for the percentage chance of a country qualifying/winning etc. ^_^

Good to see someone in agreement, worst Girls Aloud ever IMO

Those are the odds :)

Edited January 12, 200916 yr by RobotKing

What i mean is all i need is, just a little emotion...

 

I'd really love to see Alesha go top 5 in this contest, no sure if too any people will be familiar with it though which may limit my odds if i wer to do them - really beautiful song though

There is no way Agnes is as far ahead of Lights in the chances as people are making out.

 

At the moment I'm thinking KoS has this in the bag

Also, I never realised that Allecian was entering "Breathe Slow"

 

Little cheap, but good song all the same.

I don't think it will be that big a gap between the two, my odds are quite close between Herzebania and Kingdom of Shadow...

 

I certainly don't think that KoS have it in the bag, but realistically it will probably be either of you two or Mdice winning this month

My prediction is a repeat of BJSC IX...the only other time I've been considered a favourite.

 

A battle between KoS and Mdice, with Herzebania staying around the top for ages before dropping like a stone to 9th place or something :(

I for one shall be severely unimpressed if Agnes finishes outside the top five, Release Me is head and shoulders over a lot of the songs I've heard in the past hour (from Semi 1)

I will definitely have to redo my odds later in the week, some songs are an awful lot better than I expected, and some are an awful lot worse

LOL it looks like most of the time the odds are divided by genre. The alternative rock songs usually always end up at the bottom of everyones odds. meanwhile they are the ones that actually qualify, looking at the last few contests but a whole bunch of you will probably disagree, :o I noticed a lot more love to alternative dance/ alternative/rock lately than there used to be when it was all pop and rnb, oh and the swedes.

nice odds for Botanikka so far :)...even though sometimes they scare me.

very nice odds for Ashton. Hopefully we shall return to the top10.

 

Top5 would be even more magic however :wub:
