So, who's trading this market?

I had a huge green on Portugal (it was (also) me pushing the price!) hoping that they qualify and green after, but they failed.

I tried to oppose France but never got filled... I was also keen on backing Georgia and Iceland, but lacked the courage to take the prices? Massive moves on many runners, it's a very interesting market. Ireland has moved madly and I was told Paddy Power will face their biggest payout ever if Ireland delivers!

I quite like having a go on EV. I've had a lot of success backing high scoring nations early on and trading out mid voting session.

Good luck then Jim!

Last year I pulled a modest result but it caught my eye. I'll take this year as a learned, this is a very interesting market.

Hmm, looks like the UK have been stitched up again with mysterious loss of sound at the critical moment. Very unlikely winners now.

Interesting activity on the vote, support for Azerbaijan and UK but Ireland is loveless.

It's quite interesting watching the markets. People seem to be backing the favourite when they don't appear in the first batch of voting, anticipating 8,10 or 12 points in the second phase. They are laying heavily given the opposing situation.

Ireland back in it, but a lot of eastern bloc countries yet to vote. I'm cashing in my position on Azerbajian. May get lower but I'll just sit and watch now.
