EUROVISION 2009 SEMI FINAL 2 LIVE BETTING FROM PADDY POWER
If you're gearing up to bet on 2009 Eurovision Semi Final 2 today then you should definitely check out the different markets available at Paddy Power and take advantage of their in-play betting on the event. That's right, you can bet on Eurovision Semi Final 2 live in play with Paddy Power! This is a great way to capitalize on fluctuations in the odds and hedge your bets at the same time. I definitely recommend live betting on Eurovision. In terms of qualification for the final, we have 10 countries listed at odds-on to go through to the final. Norway (1/100), Greece (1/80), Azerbaijan (1/33), Ukraine (1/10), Estonia (1/8), Denmark (1/6), Lithuania (1/5), Serbia (1/5), Moldova (1/4) and Albania (2/5). There is definitely some value on the longer-odds nations like the Netherlands (6/5), Croatia (5/4), Poland (11/8) and Ireland (7/4). I'm not sure just how good their chances really are today, but if any of the top contenders make a significant mistake then you could be in for a very generous payday. The odds on Norway's Alexander Rybak are dropping every day on the outright betting market with their current odds sitting at 5/4. Greece remains 2nd favourite with a price of 6/1 and Turkey (who has been a strong contender the whole time) sits at 8/1. Bosnia & Herzegovina are available at 9/1 and the UK has dropped in price as well and can be backed at 12/1. If you're looking for good value on an each-way bet (1/5 odds on 1,2,3,4 places) check out Germany at 20/1. They have Dita Von Teese on stage with them and you will have to admit that it can't really hurt their chances. Paddy Power has also put together a neat little mini-league where you can back specific countries to beat each other out. We have UK at 15/8, Spain at 11/4, France at 3/1, Germany at 4/1 and Russia listed at 6/1. If you're a UK-based punter this is probably your best bet for a sure payday. You can also back the UK to finish third at 6/1, runner-up at 8/1 and 12/1 to finish either first or dead last. You can also back them to finish outside the top 3 but not last at 1/5. For the outright win in Eurovision Semi Final 2, Norway can be backed at 8/11, Greece at 5/2, Azerbaijan at 7/1 and Ukraine at 7/1. Norway are more or less a lock here unless you get a lot of late votes shifting towards Greece. It's a distinct possibility they could pull it off, but I fancy them on an each-way bet on places 1,2,3 even though the payout isn't that big, I'm after the easy money here.
