I've lumped on Scoot or whatever they are called to get nil points (11-1 with Paddy Power, 25-1 earlier in the week). It’s worse than that Gemini crap which got nothing last time.

I've had the unfortunate pleasure to see Gemini live (Their introduction was 'Hi I’m Gemma and Hi I'm Chris and together we are.............. Gemini - Shouldn't that be Gemmachris or Chrisagem?) They were absolutely awful and were only on for 2 songs and revelled in their nil points popularity. After they had completed their set, a friend of mine recognised them in the crowd. Making his way to the hapless duo, he asked for their autograph. Only too pleased to do something they had probably never done before, they scribbled their names down enthusiastically whilst my friend thanked them. As he turned round he scrunched up the paper the autograph was on and threw it over his shoulder back towards Gemma and Chris and walked off. Highly amusing watching the pair of their faces at the time.

I think you are way out, there is no way they will get 0 points and 11/1 is crap odds. I think the early votes will set the trend and expect Scooch to be in the top 5 or thereabouts from the start, I am sure we will have our highest finish for 10 years and Ladrbokes 7/1 to finish 6-10th is a steal as is William Hill 10/1, 5th - 8th. I am going LARGE on both and a bit of each way on Scooch.

US you really do live life on the edge dont you?
I would have gone large on Ukraine to finish top 4 last week (6/4) but the odds are just far too short now.
In my opinion if your looking for a dark horse I would go with Russia. 10/1 on PaddyPower isn't bad at all. Looking at Coral last night the money was piling on Ukraine and the UK (as expected).

If your willing to wait until a few hours before the contest that would be a good indicator of who the public are likely to give 12 points to (and possibly the favourite). Last year the number 1 bet was Finland which i had a fiver each way and got a nice return

 

[Conkers]

Now Scooch to finish in the top 21 (twenty one!) places is 4/6.
So basically 4/6 if they dont finish in the bottom 3 which i cant see happening, this could well be a nice earner!

Its just all the voting for each other.

Greece/Cyprus 10/12 each

The Baltic states voting for each other etc etc.

Basically they should trim it down with relegation places.

Ridiculous. Relegate to BBC2 now.

And put Dr Who back on

Agreed, but saying that they still could have showed Who at 7, and dropped the joseph thing as eurovision don't start until 8.
The next episode sounds really cool where its set in real-time!
But my copy of The Dominators turned upto so gonna give that a listen to make up for it!

So all you euro fans what time does the vote thing start as might put that on mute whilst listening to my audiobook

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Its on from 8pm - 11.15 pm, the 42 countries voting takes up half of that time

I predict the UK will get 96 points and finish 7th
