Why's Italy odds-on when they're only in fourth place?

It's getting quite farcical with such poor correlation between jury and public. Only the UK correlated well. :)

I guess the sharpies are counting points and know what's left. You'd think Graham Norton would have done that.

Heavy metal fans around the world will have their heads in their hands at the shame of winning Eurovision!

Well some people done their homework and knew how many points are given in total and therefore knew that Italy gotten most of the 12s and what was left for the last few. Lot of casual bettors making the price jump around silly on the favourites without reason. Next time will be better prepared!

Italy was odds-on in fourth place before the first public points came in, so somebody either had knowledge of the points or predicted they'd do well in the public vote. I must have missed it first time but it probably is one of the best songs. Would be nice if the BBC could have played all of it after 3 hours of coverage!

Apparently they are very popular band they were just expected to do better on the public vote then the judged one I think.

My first time as well. ;) I can see some real opportunities in that market but also a few trap doors. I'll go bigger next time but it's still recreational.
