Even if you are not watching it, you should take a look at Eurovision this evening.<\/p>\n

I’ve done well backing outsiders that shorten during the contest in the past and early voting patterns can often give you the ability to dutch a range of long odds into shorter prices. Don’t leave it too late to get out though, as winners can become apparent very quickly and will shorten fast.<\/p>\n

My biggest ever success came from backing Lordi<\/a> a few years ago to win. Finland was embarrassed by the entry till they realised the performance struck a chord with the voters and their price shot in from 65’s. Jedward appear to be the following a similar path this year, but lets not pre-judge anything. Azerbaijan appear to be attracting a lot of support as well. Eearly voting patterns are usually the key. I don’t think England will win because we have tried too hard. I doubt we will get votes for that, probably the opposite.<\/p>\n

I’ll skip the singing and tune in for the voting. Hopefully I will get more then ‘null point’ in profit terms.<\/p>\n
