2010 EUROVISION LATEST ODDS AND BETTING TIPS

There have been some very interesting swings in the betting markets for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest with Safura Alizadeh seemingly solidifying her position as the favourite heading into the high-profile contest with virtually all bookmakers, and the open market on Betfair specifically, declaring her the heavy favourite.
As it currently stands, the odds on Azerbaijan to win Eurovision trades at 13/8 with top UK bookmaker William Hill. You will also find her trading at a 2.6 price on the Betfair exchange to win the competition outright. Betfair has also opened up a head-to-head betting market on Eurovision and Azerbaijan vs Germany is showing Lena Meyer-Landrut at 2.3 to defeat Safura who trades at a slim 1.16 price.

Lena Meyer-Landrut of Germany is listed at a 9/2 price with William Hill and a massive 7.0 on Betfair. This is the best price that I’ve seen her listed at in the entire run up to the competition and her legions of German fans can secure an excellent price on her if they get in there and back her now. Betfair is also listing her at 1.8 to finish in the top 5.
Hareld Skaat of Israel retains his third-place position and he is trading at 9.0 on Betfair and 7/1 with William Hill.
I have always maintained that Safura Alizadeh having to appear in the semi-finals is a bit of a double-edged sword in contrast with her German counterpart who is already through to the final. You could be in for some very wild swings in the betting markets if her performance doesn’t come off and I also have a feeling that her odds are solidifying based on the predicted strategic voting of Eastern European nations.  
If you are looking to back Lena Meyer-Landrut to win 2010 Eurovision then you are looking at your best odds on record and I suggest you get in there and back her now!
