I just made a signature, but the picture isn't showing up on my computer at least. Can anyone see it? I see the text, but not the picture.

^ No, no picture

 

Makes a change for me not been at the bottom of the odds, but I always take the odds with a pinch of salt, as in the end they don't give the right indication of the actual outcome.

 

And LiamDebarge do you have to have 2 pics in your siggie, everytime I see your posts, the page gets long winded, tis gets rather annoying.

 

I'll fix it, sorry. Thanks for letting me know!

does that mean I'm posting too much?

Pretty much. Yes. The thing is, you've posted 66 times, and not posted 1 set of odds, which is what the thread is about.

Liam. This is Trash's guide to odds, very helpful:

 

The number on the left is the amount of times a country might be expected to NOT qualify/win (depending on what odds you're offering) in relation to the number on the right. So, for example:

 

3/1 = For every three times that a country with these odds doesn't win/qualify, they will win/qualify once.

5/2 = For every five times that a country with these odds doesn't win/qualify, they will win/qualify twice.

2/3 = For every two times that a country with these odds doesn't win/qualify, they will win/qualify three times.

 

Odds that have a larger number on the right than the left indicate that there is a greater chance of the song qualifying/winning than not.

 

For odds that don't have 1 on the right, divide the number on the left by them to get their /1 value - so, for example, 5/2 is actually a clean way of saying 2.5/1, etc.

 

These can also be read as percentages - add the two numbers together and divide 100 by the resulting number. Then multiply the number you get by the number on the right and you will get the percentage chance of qualification/victory. So, for example:

 

10/3 = 13. 100 divided by 13 = 0.77. Multiplied by three you get 2.31. This song therefore has a 23% chance of victory/qualification.

 

Take note that there are 13 qualifiers from each semi final. It therefore follows that at least 10 or so songs will have odds where they have a greater chance of qualifying than not, unless it is a very close/hard to call semi!

Basically, you add the one on the left to the one on the right?
