Great stuff chaps...I cant believe neither of your jury and televote bets landed Jez, and Bulgaria won them both...wow. Younger juries did indeed go for them over Oz - sea change for the contest...and as we said early on it really was a contest for the Eastern countries after a period of Western dominance.
Despite most of my early bets losing (Albania top 10, Ukraine ew, Norway top 10 - thought this was going to land at one point, and think it would have if his voice hadnt given out midweek, Greece) ended up with my most profitable Eurovision in 10 years through landing just about everything I put on in the last 2 days (Bulgaria win and top 4, Top Balkan, Poland top 15, Denmark no top 5, Italy top 5 and beating France.)
Betfair even paid out on that 17/1 mistake
Halfway through I thought we had a chance on Lithuania - it traded at 2/1 on the exchange! But your right Samoan, those random jury points killed the chance (plus UKs typically terrible televote.)
As bonkers as ever...love it.
But also accept im getting on a bit, and the streaming/social media buzz is fairly active for it, and the diaspora also behind it. Unfortunately just didnt build any momentum this week.
