Eurovision Odds Betting Has France To Win With Jedward Twins The Danger
Eurovision betting in 2011 is like no other year with the popularity of Facebook and Twitter seeming to have ignited worldwide interest in the song contest. Everyone seems to be having a bet and an opinion. The bookmakers are firmly in the French camp with Amaury Vassili the rock solid favourite. Rehearsals have if anything solidified his position at the head of the market and it is his to lose. The operatic song is expected to get the crowd on their feet and will be a worthy Eurovision winner. Eurovision odds of around 7/4 with Bet 365 and William Hill are fragile and the bookies are sitting on huge liabilities if as expected France triumph.
Bookmakers will be praying that viewer’s support an outsider but it seems only one of the top four in the betting can win. That brings Ireland at 5/1, Azerbaijan at 9/1 and the UK at 12/1. The main danger seems to be the quirky Irish entry Lipstick sung by X Factor contestants Jedward. The twins have been backed from 40/1 into second favourite and betting momentum is with them. Irish punters love Eurovision having won the contest more than any other country and if John and Edward Grimes do win they can expect a ticker - tape homecoming when flying back into Ireland.
Of the bigger prices the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Finland and Sweden have an each way chance of making the top 4, if you back these countries each way you should get a run for your money with all three being around the 20/1 price.
