Eurovision Song Contest Betting 9th - 13th May 2023

UKRAINE: TVORCHI - Heart Of Steel


Like last year politics are involved in this song no matter how it sounds.
If Sympathy is still in peoples minds then Ukraine will do well come what may.
The song itself is nothing special, it actually sounds like a funeral march which I suppose is pretty apt considering what is going on there, the visuals on the other hand are stunning and tell their own story.
In a normal climate this song would do well to finish top 10, in the current climate it's probably nailed on to finish top 3 or win the event.


NORWAY: Alessandra - Queen of Kings


Again pretty much par for the course, I can't say I've heard anything yet that's blown me away.
These warrior type women are becoming quite regular now and a bit dull , more so as I have to come home to one every day
Nah, out of respect and fear I listened to that again as I was typing most of the time through it and it's still shite,
It shows how bad the field is this year as the song is so far up the betting.



GERMANY: Lord of the Lost - Blood & Glitter


OOoh, sounded a bit like nine inch nails then, now he's morphing into Bowie, hold on; now it's Lordi.
This fellas good, very good, this has it, this has everything needed to be a winner.
This has blown everything out of the water by a country mile and now my firm favourite.

Am I missing something here, why are Germany 200/1 when most of this years songs are

LITHUANIA: Monika Linkytė - Stay


This ain't bad either, has a bit of an African beat when it gets going and i like it.
I also liked it the other year when the Dutch used a similar African beat but the song did absolutely nothing so I'm not falling for that again.
I enjoyed that and hopefully the song does a lot better than those odds suggest.

ISRAEL: Noa Kirel - Unicorn


Hey up it's Laura Croft.
I can see why this is popular as it's catchy but she seems to be singing down her nose which is beginning to grate.
HOLD ON......I'll give her that, she can dance which will probably garner lots of votes but that could also work the other way as women , particularly the jealous ones who will tell her where to go, or threaten their other halves daring to vote for her.
I'm probably trying to say for as much as I'd like to vote for her she isn't getting my vote for reasons beyond my control


SLOVENIA: Joker Out - Carpe Diem


'Carpe Diem' means 'seize the day', I learnt that watching an episode of 'Still game' with Methadone Mick
I'll be very surprised if this song seizes the day as it's very bland and boring, I'll give this a wide berth me thinks.

CROATIA: Let 3 - Mama ŠČ!


WTF's this, It looks like a gay pantomine.
Wow, this is mad, It's like a very camp 'Dads Army', no tell a lie.
I've read it wrong, it's more a Baltic 'Village people', this is great.
Now one of them is wondering around the stage with a couple of ballistic misslies, forcing the others to strip for some unknown reason lol,

Oh Man, probably the maddest thing I've seen at Eurovision, this is everything the Finish act tried to be but failed miserably, I love this, defo top 10 and hopefully more

UNITED KINGDOM: Mae Muller - I Wrote A Song


Run of the mill and bang average, as usual no bastard chance.

Well after all that I'm basically all in on Germany outright @ 200/1, top 5 @ 20/1 an top 10 @ 4/1.
I've shortlisted a few as noted which I'll go through tomorrow as I need my bed

Yeah, I've just gone each way on Italy too, I did it to three places @66/1, I maybe should have gone to 6 places for around half those odds.

Yeah, that was shite again.
It's turning into a bit of a farce as it's a done deal before the comp begins.

Italy getting pushed out to 4th at the death by Israel pissed me off to
It was coming though because the bookies had them in place way before it happened.
