Alexander Rybak Still The Favourite In Eurovision Betting Odds
Monday 13 April 2009 at 12:06
 With just a month to go until Eurovision there is still a very strong favourite in the Eurovision 2009 betting odds in the shape of Norwegian Alexander Rybak.
Alexander Rybak Expected To Win Song Contest
Norway and Alexander Rybak have always been the clear favourites to win Eurovision since betting began near the start of the year and punters can get 13/8 that Norway wins Eurovision with bookie Sportingbet. Those odds are well above the 5/4 offered by Ladbrokes and Sportingbet are also offering up to £100 in free bets to new customers so it is well worth opening an account with them.
Greece And Turkey Main Rivals For Norway
The second favourites in the Eurovision betting are Greece and they are clear of next best Turkey. Greece are 7/1 with Sportingbet to be victorious next month whilst Turkey are 10/1 with Sportingbet. The winner is most likely to come from the top three in the betting.
The Best Of The Rest
Next in line are Sweden who are 16/1 with Sportingbet, Azerbaijan who are 18/1 with Sportingbet, Malta who are 25/1 with Sportingbet and UK who are 28/1 with Sportingbet. The UK has performed very badly at recent Eurovision contests but they are hoping that the Andrew Lloyd Webber written song will perform much better this year.
Betting Without Norway
So sure are one bookie that Norway will triumph that they are already offering betting ‘without Norway’. Boylesports offer 7/2 that Greece win if you ignore how Norway get on, 5/1 that Turkey win, 10/1 that Azerbaijan win and 12/1 that Malta, Sweden or UK win.
