Eurovision Song Contest 12th - 16th May 2026

Got in late (when Ukraine were on). Just gone back now and watched the ones I missed.

What am I missing about Greece? In my books (based on personal taste, not any kind of Eurovision knowledge), it's every bit as bad as the UK entry, yet it's 5th favourite :ohwell
Yeah its not for me either tbh. :lol 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.
 
Brilliant tip on Bulgaria @Beanie lets go.

Also got Italy top 5 up with decent chunks on. Plus Romania top 5 and Moldova top 10.

Shame about Lithuania but sometimes favourites win. That random 8 points in the jury voting killed it.

Overall solid profit for me despite all the losing bets. See you next year lads (I hope).
 
Great Call Beanie. Did not think the judges would go for it as much as they did, but not surprised that the public vote went their way. My 2 were pretty shocking, but in profit thanks to you. No regrets in going for Belgium or Czechia at the prices and for me both were way better than their finishing positions suggest.
 
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 đź‘€

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.
 
Was wondering whether that means I've drunk too much, or not enough :lol

Def not enough. I'm pouring another large one thanks to @Beanie

I don't mind neither of the vote bets landing. Those accounts were toast at the first decent bet anyway. Great spot on the Eastern countries swing.

I lost some and won some. Only ones I really won were thanks to you Beanie. Bulgaria and Italy top 5 are the ones I have to thank for profit. 18/1 winner lol, amazing work. Lithuania last place was a dream and a really good pick. Didn't put on everything you did but really glad they all came up for you.

I also got paid out on the 17/1 mistake on Skybet. Couldn't take it on Betfair/PP, hope others did manage.

I've bet Eurovision every year since 2003 and this is my third most profitable year. 1st was last year and 2nd the year before. This one is still really good. Owe you a nice cold beer Beanie :beer :beer :beer

I'm gutted Slick/Mickey/Komp are not here to share in this. Komp in particularl would have been loving Bulgaria and Greece I think.
