Norway
Norway are the early Eurovision Odds favourite with a slower more thoughtful ballad than the Alexander Rybak Fairytale which was truimphant at Eurovision last year in Moscow.
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
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
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
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.
£25 No Lose Bet!
Romania
Playing With Fire is the entry for Eurovision 2010 from Romania by Paula Seling and Ovi. This Eurovison song is fancied by a lot of Eurovison forums.
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.
£5 - £25 Free Bet
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
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
