Betting Odds For This Weekend's Eurovision Final That Will Make You Rich
Eurovision 2017 begins tomorrow night and if you want to make that cash money you need to get your bets in now. The semi-finals begin tomorrow so the odds will drop. We have taken the best PaddyPower odds and with some recommendations here are our Eurovision betting odds to win Saturday's big prize:
The Ones To Win
Italy 4/6
Verdict
I'm not sure about the dramatic hand movements but Italy's "Occidentali's Karma" is a bit of a tune and favourite to win the entire competition. The lights and the breakdancing Gorilla will probably make it memorable in viewers minds but we're not sold.
Portugal 7/1
A stunning song and vocal from Portugal's Salvador Sobral that sounds like it belongs in a Disney movie. This is sure to be a hit on Saturday's final if it gets past the semi-final on Tuesday. Sobral is performing 9th which gives him good odds for qualifying at 1/20.
Sweden 11/1
Verdict
Swedens dance songs have been the big numbers from the last few years of the Euros. Sweden returns this year with another dance number with "I Can't Go On" with Robin Bengtsson. It's another chart song we've heard a thousand times #basic.
Armenia 18/1
Verdict
Armenia is performing in 16th place out of 18 on Tuesday's semi-final which leaves Artsvik in a strong position.
The Netherlands 33/1
Verdict
The trio OG3NE sound like a mix of 90's girl band Destiny's Child (OG3NE covered Emotions on The Voice of Holland) and X Factors Little Mix. The trio's harmonies could be the thing to watch and if they can pull it off on the night they're sure to be in the top 3.
The Outsiders
Finland 50/1
Verdict
Norma John is a mixture between Sia and Adele. The song title is rememberable but Norma John is singing 7th on Tuesday's semi-final. Adrian Kavanagh reveals the strongest positions to be in are usually when the act performs in the next second half of the show, from 10th place onwards, as they're usually the chosen contestants for the final.
Australia 50/1
Verdict
Although the song is a popular choice and Australia has done well in the past Eurovision expert Adrian Kavanagh isn't so sure that this year they'll make it to the final. Isaiah is performing 3rd on Tuesday's semi-final, one of the less likely positions to qualify for Saturday's final.
Belgium 66/1
Verdict
Belgium's answer to Lorde is Blanche and her song "City Lights". A surprisingly decent song by Eurovision standards. We'd be happy if this one won - only if Ireland doesn't qualify.
The odds don't look great for Brendan Murray's "Dying to Try" at 125/1 but sure look... anything could happen!
