[kompressaur]

Ive a confession to make RC I dont even view the songs (well not so far) usually im too busy typing and i need to look at my keyboard. Its a pointy finger dance isnt it? i will go and remind myself

shouldve laid ireland back when i knew 8.2 was a great price, was too concerned about having betfair money tied up for too long, we arent all rich enough to play the long game even if it wouldve been worth a few pence to trade out now

all to qualify from 1st semi final for a bit of an interest, majority of the rest of the songs below them in the betting are woeful. Have a little something for the stupidity of estonia's video

Oops, missed this thread - can delete the outright one below.

I'm a bit reluctant to place any punts on the final yet, other than long odds, because its a complete lottery as to which starting slot they will get, and a bad one can ruin a songs chances, no matter how good.

For the first semi:

8pts Israel to Qualify @ 2.46
Risk 8pts Lay Ireland to Qualify @ 1.64

More this afternoon.

[Beanie]

Risk 4pts Lay Finland to Qualify @ 2.12
1pt Belgium to be the Wildcard @ 6.00

0.5pts Israel to win @ 190
