Eurovision Betting 2009 Saturday 16 May 2009 at 16:00 Eurovision Betting 2009 has been extremely popular over the past couple of weeks and there have been many changes in the odds offered by the bookmakers. One thing that doesn’t change though is the favourites to win the competition.
Norway Proving Extremely Popular
Norway are the hot favourites to win Eurovision 2009 and can be backed to do so at 11/10 with Blue Square and Totesport. Norway are going to be represented by Alexander Rybak and the singer/songwriter/violinist looked a strong contender in the semi final this week and is sure to do well on Saturday night.
Andrew Lloyd Webber Gets Involved In UK Entry
The UK have been the major gamble of the week and are now 12/1 with Bet365, Stan James, Coral and Ladbrokes, having one time been 40/1 shots. A lot of effort has been put into the UK entry this year with Andrew Lloyd Webber writing the song and Jade Ewen, who will sing the song, is going to be tough to beat.
Other Countries Of Interest
Other countries that have been well touted include Greece at 6/1 with Totesport and Blue Square, Turkey who are 12/1 with Stan James and Bosnia and Herzegovina who are 18/1 with Stan James. To view all of the Eurovision Odds click on any of the bookie links above.

Israel
Harel Skaat represents Israel at Eurovision 2010 with the ballad Milim. Another each way bet at the price although may not be strong enough to win overall.

Norway
Norway are the early Eurovision Odds favourite with a slower more thoughtful ballad than the Alexander Rybak Fairytale which was triumphant at Eurovision last year in Moscow.
Bet £20 Get £40
Croatia
Girl group Feminnem are the choice to fly the flag for Croatia in Eurovision 2010. The song is Lako Je Sve and they do a preety good job.
£50 Free Cash
Germany
This song has a good chance and is at least one of the most original songs in the competition. Reminiscent of Lily Allen and Amy Macdonald, if the Euro Zone get it Lena Meyer and Satellite could well win Eurovision 2010 for Germany. Back it each way today.
Bet £20 Get £40
Denmark
In A Moment like this is the Danish song for Eurovision 2010 performed by the hand holding Chanee & Tomas Nevergreen. A typical Eurovision song that will be well received in Norway, a good bet.

Belgium
Tom Dice sings Me and My Guitar in the style of James Blunt for Belgium. Unlikely to put Belgium on the Eurovision map despite being towards the head of the betting.
Bet £20 Get £40
Ireland
Two very poor years and two very poor songs from the normally entertaining and competitive Irish.
Niamh Kavanagh who won for the Emerald Isle in 1993 with In Your Eyes has been chosen to represent Ireland.
Bet £20 Get £40
Romania
Playing With Fire is the entry for Eurovision 2010 from Romania by Paula Seling and Ovi. This Eurovision song is fancied by a lot of Eurovision forums.
Bet £20 Get £40
Iceland
The song title is French yet Hera Bjork sings in English and represents Iceland. Her country could do with some good news and this may be one of the more commercial entries.
Bet £20 Get £40
Portugal
Filipa Azevado sings Ha Dias Assim for Portugal Eurovision 2010, sounds a touch like Maria Carey with a lot of key changes.

Russia
Russia have chosen Peter Nalitch and Band to represent them at Eurovision 2010. A folky tune Lost and Forgotten sounds like a communist workers song.
Bet £20 Get £40
Switzerland
Michael Von der Heide sings for Switzerland, the song is ok but the Swiss do not win much and that is unlikely to change at Eurovision 2010
Bet £20 Get £40
UK
The Your Country Needs You show decided that newcomer Josh Dubovie will represent the UK at Eurovision 2010. He will be singing the Pete Waterman/Mike Stock written "That Sounds Good To Me", unfortunately it dosent.
