Seen from plenty of Eurovision betting analysts that Ukraine are way too short, it seems they will win the televote but it depends how lenient the judges are (apparently historically they aren't).
Thoughts from those with better knowledge than me (which would be most people ) is more than welcome

After some careful consideration my pics for Eurovision are as follows:
Albania, Armenia, Croatia, Malta, Montenegro, Holland and Spain with my 12 points going to Montenegro.

Armenia for me. Ukraine very disappointing. They could do a lot better than that!Trader Pat wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 12:48 pmAfter some careful consideration my pics for Eurovision are as follows:

A lot of speculation here, should be prime for fading imo.
Seems like a lot of the juicy prices already taken, trading 1.97/1.98 now
For me:
1. Back UKR
2. Trade out just before Grand Final
3. Lay UKR with any profits

Have to imagine a few of the judges give the nod to UKR at Semi-Final, to save face and/or in a genuine show of support, but value surely to side of professionalism in the final, especially at what are probably very short odds at that point. The competition voting is set up in a way where HALF of the votes come from televoters, which no doubt goes UKR way in GF but judges job to vote on other metrics to make up other 50%. Fairness/integrity of a 66-year running competition potentially at play, not just a 1-off thing here. Could still see judges (humans) being able to sleep at night given a semi-final nod, would still a great story to be applauded for being ~'so close in such a challenging time'."The public show strong support for Ukraine but I would not assume Ukraine is going to win," said Dean Vuletic, a historian and expert on the geopolitics of Eurovision.
"In 1993, Bosnia and Croatia did not finish highly," despite being under attack, he told AFP, adding: "While the Ukrainian entry is strong, there are other entries of high quality."
